Color Conundrum: Basic Brown or Boisterous Blue

I’m usually not a fan of buckles. They remind me of those classic 80’s shoe that every girl with a wide foot had to wear: rubber bottom, hard leather top, lots of buckles on the side.



I can still hear my mother’s voice, “They are so cute. And they give you lots and lots of support.” (See Exhibit A to the left!)












But the Samanta Women's Alexis Pump,has changed my mind. The snake skin pumps are one of my favorites but thin, high heels are not. I'm a chunky girl and it just isn't appealing to be tipping around in stilettos. And that's why I love these so much!  Featuring a not too chunky but not to thin 2 ½ inch heel,  and a feisty gold-toned buckle on the side, this pair of pumps combines sleek with sassy.

 I love, love, love the stealth attitude of the blue pump. They’re a daring duo without screaming “I WANT YOU TO SEE ME!”

At the same time, I feel like I need a pair of basic brown pumps—versatile yet sophisticated yet sassy, I can wear them all day.

My problem: I like them both but considering the price--$199.95—buying both is NOT an option. So I’ll leave it up to you!

Which would you choose? Why?

Until next time wide shoe divas!

  1. I love the blue pumps. I would certainly splurge on them. They're the perfect vibrant hue for spring and summer. Besides, the buckle is a perfect little suprise. I'm definitely loving the buckle look too!

  2. Well I love the buckles, shoes, sandals, boots, flipflops. I love buckles, it adds pizazz to the shoe. Hey I had those buster brown shoes as a kid, and yes I hated them.
