Finding: the Perfect Brown Heel

Fashion Gods,

I know you’re out there listening, so here’s my plea: I need a pair of brown pumps. Maybe I’m asking too much by refusing to fall for animal prints, or not wanting a two inch heel. I know, I’m picky… I’m working on it.

So, here’s the deal: I am willing to forgo buying another purse for the next six months (well… make that four) if I can find a pair of brown pumps that fit all of the following five criteria:

Do Not Want: Brown Pumps

1. Dark brown (while I like nude-colored shoes – and that’s a different post – I’m more interested in getting a nice, dark, rich brown).
2. No Animal Print. I don’t want my feet to look like little alligators, leopards or anything of that nature. I have little human feet. I want to keep it that way.
3. The heels have to be AT LEAST 3 1/2 inches. No exceptions.
4. They’ve got to be under $120. I’d prefer under $100, but I also know that if I find a good sale that’s a little bit over, I’m flexible… hence the $120.
5.  Furry shoes need not apply. Just like animal prints… I refuse to wear hooves. Just sayin’.

So, do you think you can help me out? I’m feeling pretty desperate here… my feet are in your hands, Fashion Gods!

Love,
Jaime

  1. I took a look and saw plenty of pair that matched your description but here are a few that jumped out at me.

    Dolce Vita Beam Pump

    Charles by Charles David Pompadour Pumps They are suede, not sure if they counts as furry or not :)

    Jessica Simpson Brenda Pump

    Lauren Ralph Lauren Dava Platform Pump

    Of course these are just very basic brown pumps.. There were plenty with embellishment but I figured you wanted something classic.. :) Good luck!

  3. You are cracking me up! I’ve had the same dilemma with camel-colored boots for about 4 years. Sometimes I think the more precisely I know what I want, the more difficult it is to find it…

  4. Ok here are my suggestions… All are at least 3 1/2 inch heels, dark brown and almost all the ones I picked are well under $100 and are on sale!!!! I hope you find one you like!!!!
