since i wear far more navy than black at work, i have spent the last 4 months looking for shoes to wear with navy (besides nude).  during the majority of that time, i was looking at navy pumps.  i soon realized the problem with navy shoes though – since navy comes in so many shades, it was impossible to find a navy that worked with all my navy clothes.

enter my first pair of manolo blahniks.  while randomly browsing the sale rack at a neiman marcus in mcclean, va (where i was for a wedding), i came across these gorgeous patent tortoise-shell print pointy-toe pumps.  the 4 inch heel is sexy but still work appropriate and comfortable, and the colors will work with navy, black, gray, and basically every other color i wear.

oh, and they were 75% off.  #shoegodsloveme.
