I’m one of those people who love to have chunky, robot-like shoes that look as though they’re taking over your feet.

Gigantic, ridiculously bulky shoes are surprisingly favored by me. I usually like the sleek and clean – but when it comes to nude colored shoes, I like making up for the lack of color by allowing the shoes to be almost voluminous, and crazy with details.

I crave nude, or tan colored shoes not only for the leg-lengthening reasons, but because it’s the most unexpected, risky neutral – you’re matching your skin! I dream of pairing nude heels with black, cropped slacks or perhaps tights and a waist-defining, silky dress… Or, on a wild streak, ankle-length, white jeans – rolled up, and topped with a prim cami & cardigan.

Cindy Says Women's Edison Pump
Cindy Says Edison Pump$99.52 (were $180.95)

Vince Camuto Women's Della Bootie
Vince Camuto Della Bootie$149.95

Frye Grace Woven T Strap Platform Sandals
Frye Grace Woven Sandals$68.40 (were $228)

Of course the only size left is mine. Curses on my lack of money!

Skin by Nude Kedeta Heels in Biscuit
Skin by Nude Kedeta Heels in Biscuit$133 (were $190)

Velvet Angels Whiskey A Go Go in Natural
Velvet Angels Whiskey A Go Go in Natural$216 (were $480)

I know they’re really expensive, but I honestly haven’t seen shoes that made me amorously gasp in a really long time. I hope these go on super clearance someday. (This line is designed by a guy who used to have his hands in the L.A.M.B. shoe line.)

MERRIEE BLUSH
Steve Madden MERRIEE in Blush$62.97 (were $99.95)

I know it’s the 9th time I’ve posted these, but I love them!

CAGED BLUSH
Steve Madden CAGED in Blush$90.97 (were $129.95)

KORSET TAUPE
Steve Madden KORSET in Taupe$149.95

See, nude pumps – that much-lauded wardrobe staple – bore me to TEARS. But these? I ADORE these picks!

I love the last one, the Velvet Angels pump, and the Frye t-strap. All gorgeous! Sal’s right – these are great alternatives to the “nude pump” staple. Good eye, Elle! :)
