She was wearing what fashion people would call a “V-Neck Pump.” Started by Céline (the uber avant-garde fashion line) in 2016, the V-Neck Pump is now available from other brands at a range of price points and heel heights. In fact, Céline now makes them in a cool, low cone-shaped heel that even I could probably wear. (The client’s V-Neck Pump was actually from Diane Von Furstenburg, …

A Quest: The Perfect Navy Pump

Last year, it was the search for good chocolate boots. Unfortunately,  that quest has still not ended. Good chocolate pieces are still difficult to find, especially in suiting! However, this year my efforts have switched to a similarly frustrating color: Navy. I love to encourage my clients to switch up their conservative black suit with a navy suit. However, once you purchase a pair of navy pants, your next purchase is inevitably going to be a navy shoe. Shouldn’t be too difficult, right? WRONG! Navy pumps are not as common as they should be! When you combine an already limited selection with …
