Jason Wu for Target T-shirt (cute alternative), Vanilla Star jeans, Sheikh pumps (similar), assorted bracelets, and old F21 clutch (love this one)

Being so fond of boots, the classic 4" pump is something that I've managed to live without for many years. I became so enamored with chunky platforms and ankle boots the past few seasons that I completely shunned this classic style. After many evenings spent browsing the catalogs of Mango, Madewell, Zara, and J. Crew, the simple black pump sans platform suddenly appeals to me. It feels so fresh and appropriate, especially for dressing up my printed denim. To me the classic pump is the key to making cropped skinny jeans look chic. In an effort to give the heels maximum mileage, I chose a pair that wasn't too pointy or boxy in the toe. These are the kind of shoes that will outlast the parade of trends that marches through my closet season after season. 

Get the look:

I never just buy classic simple pumps either! But usually those end up being the ones you wear all the time because they go with everything. :) I love the Wu top and I think it looks great with the leopard print jeans. You look marvelous! Have a great Halloween! <3
