Pointy Black Shoes

 

While I was staring fixedly at these Costume National pumps, above, the guy at best shoe store ever Gimme Shoes told me that pointy shoes are coming back into style. I never was a fan of pointy shoes, but I love the sophistication and geometric lines of these -- especially the chip out of the heel (now $186 online at Gimme Shoes, were $465), and the slightly more casual versatility of these 3.1 Phillip Lim pumps ($118 at Shopbop in size 40/9.5, were $395).
