A basic, black pump is a must in any wardrobe. Paired with anything from a business suit to your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans, this classic shoe will be the one you reach for time and time again. Don’t shy away from owning different pairs for different occasions. You might want a higher heel and a platform style for a night on the town, while a Mary Jane, round-toe version might be better suited for your 9-5. Some of my current favorites are as follows:
1. Modern Vintage Callan Platform Pump - $125
2. KORS Michael Kors Galli Suede Mary Jane Pump – $195
3. Dolce Vita Devon Pump – $100
4. Cole Haan Mariela Air Open Toe Pump – $230
5. Forever21 Pointed Patent Pumps – $37
6. Aldo Bolus Pumps – regularly $110, marked down to $40!
In addition to adding a new wardrobe item, this week I’d like to do an inventory check. Let’s review what it is that we’ve got to work with, and start putting together some looks. Over the course of the last few months, we have checked to see if we have the following basic wardrobe elements:
Nude Sandals | Striped Top | Aviator Sunglasses | Solid Maxi Dress | Neutral Clutch | Statement Necklace | Little Black Dress (LBD) | Straight-Leg, Dark Washed Denim Jeans
With these items in store, you should be able to create the following look:

Aviators, Statement Necklace, Nude Sandals, Straight Leg Jeans, Striped Top, Nude Clutch
And now….a Wardrobe Check Challenge! I’d love to see the outfits that you put together using your basic wardrobe essentials. Send a picture of yourself wearing your wardrobe check basics to glitters.gold.8@gmail.com, and I’ll feature it in next week’s post!
