Coffee Break: Carolyn Pump – Corporette.com

I always love a good strappy pump, and I love the intersection of trends in this gorgeous shoe — the Mary Jane strap, with the pointed toe, with the somewhere-inbetween-but kind-of-kittenish heel height.

(Nordstrom notes that the heel is 2.25,” which I do think is too tall to be classified as a kitten heel, but maybe I’m wrong?)

The shoe comes in this gorgeous deep garnet (pictured), as well as a black mesh — you can also find some lovely flats with the same Mary Jane strap.

The pictured shoes are $995.

Looking for something more affordable? I am unfamiliar with the brand Francesco Russo, but these pumps are very similar but with more basic colors — they’re only slightly less at $820, though. More affordable but with different vibes: slingbacks from Madewell and J.Crew, and these kitten heels from Lifestride.
