The ‘Pump’ is back…
I don’t know that this shoe ever went away… but every fashion snap, front row beauty or stylista I see features this very classic shoe…
This is great news because ‘pumps’ go with everything… They elongate the legs, slim the ankles and hopefully don’t pinch the toes too much…
This year the classic has gone colour crazy… yellow, orange, red, pink.. pale and bright… turquoise and cobalt…
My black pair are my staples… my travelling companions…
Wear them with denim and wear them with lace…
The best news… they don’t have to be skyscraper height…
1.. J. Crew Evelyn suede pumps 2.. Jimmy Choo patent leather pumps 3.. Rossi print pumps

These are probably my favourite shoes of all… xv

My wardrobe is chock a block full of pumps – I never tire of them, whether they are in or out of fashion. They are always elegant, I agree – and comfortable, both in the wear and the way they make me feel more classically stylish. x
Oh, I LOVE a black pump, and these are perfect, Vicki.
Thank you for sharing. Hopefully before Spring, I will be wearing my skinny jeans.
Happy Weekend.

oh i want those jcrew pumps in every color! (love them in leopard too!)
Love wearing pumps, i feel thinner and taller.However, running around New York in pumps is a challenge and my heels get totally ruined…My favorite…Sergio Rossi, incredibly stylish and yet comfortable
loooove pumps!:)
I am 55 and still sporting them, NO PROBLEM. I feel my best in heels and these are fabulous my friend. THANK YOU for always keeping us on our toes, or should I say, ON OUR HEELS! You are the best, Vicki.

Oh, I love a classic, trim pump like that … *without* the thick platform soles that have been everywhere for a few years! These 3 inch heels are elegant and sexy; no need to add a platform to make them 4 inches or more.
Love the red pumps – stylish, classy, & bold!
Adore the red ones! Very classic and stylish…….

I’ve never stopped wearing pointy toed pumps as I love them, but mine have a lower heel. I’m also happy to see pointy toe flats (“skimmers”) coming back.
You mean they have been out? I have worn pumps forever + love the animal print. Have a wonderful weekend. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
I’m with you, I don’t think these have ever been out of style. I have a paid of nude and another in black I’ve worn now for a few years and just love them. I cannot wear them 2 nights in a row, my feet get too tired!
I’ve never been a big fan of the ‘pump’, preferring a high ‘thicker/chunky’ heel. And I really dislike the pumps with the really thick ‘platform’ sole around these days. I might be persuaded with those black Choos though! Happy weekend.
Who cares the foot ankles. Welcome stilettos!
.. Lovely .. I am noticing that the platform (even the smallest that Kate wore) is going away which is good. They always looked like Minnie Mouse shoes to me. Love the red ones, yummy.

even though I love ballerines and brogues, something special happens when you slip into a pair of high heeled pumps – still wear them now and again, although long gone are the days when I could run for a train in them!

I have so many pairs of classic pumps and have never stopped wearing them. They are a classic style that never goes out.
I LOVE a black pump Vicki but, as I’m getting on a bit now !!!!, I like the heel to be just a little lower than stiletto !!!
Hope that your weekend is lovely Vicki. XXXX
No one is more happy than me about this. Always such a pretty. sexy style and much easier and more graceful to walk along in don’t you think. Mind you, it is a few inches shorter than the platforms come to think of it but I love a simple stiletto. xx
What a great blog, keep it up!
Even though I’m a fan of ballerinas, the classic pump has always been a favourite of mine especially my black ones which fit like a glove. They are versatile and instantly add elegance and style. I’m quite tempted by those lovely red ones!
I love pumps, glad I didn’t give away mine from years ago!
love kate moss’s look! all those shoes are awesome

Love the pump! So elegant and stylish, no matter what. This is a beautiful selection, Vicki. {Classic black is my ‘go to’ but those leopard prints are pretty sexy!} Have a gorgeous weekend. Hugs to Apache.
Thank God! I really don’t like bulkier shoes. The pump is so feminine and way more elegant than the platform. What’s kind of amazing is how quickly they went out of style, then came back in…fashion seems to be cycling very quickly these days.
Love the shape of the #1 J Crew red shoe but would never buy a shoe that isn’t finished on the inside of the heel (called the breast, according to ‘parts of show’ diagram).
how weird is this?
i maybe have 1 or 2 pair of pumps.
i have always worn sling backs.
i think they make my legs look just a little longer,
and i need all the length i can get.
hahaha

Hi Vicki!
I agree not sure the pumps ever went out…… But I am going for lower heels…….Esp after the Lady Gaga thing….. Now when am I going to wear my new oxfords?????????he he Maryanne xo
I love the classics and I think the pumps are one of them. You can never go wrong with a classic black pump. Enjoy your weekend.
