Warning ladies, this isn't a free pass to go on a shopping spree! However, it is worth investing in a good pair of black pumps. The benefits are many:
Wear them with nearly everything: skirts, dresses, pants, even jeans. They never go out of style. If you go with something basic, it'll always look stylish. Travel with just them and a pair of cross trainers. Perfect for business trips.
Since you'll get so much use out of them, you'll easily justify the cost. Plus, by purchasing a standard style you can have them re-soled, the heels replaced and it will still cost you less than buying a new pair of shoes.
I've had the same pair of black pumps from Cole Haan (Nike Air) for three years and you'd never know it (shhhh - don't tell anyone)!
