pointed post

In circa 2006, I think I swore off pointed heels forever. There were just too many of those pointed kitten heel pumps going around - with that gathered leather at the toe, sort of pleated? You remember. Anyway at at point I swore to myself that I hate pointed heels, and I would never be caught dead in them.

But a cool 5 years later and I'm well and truly on the pointed pump train once again. Decidedly more chic and less kitten-oriented, I love this look with skinny jeans, tailored pants or even the right dress.

Mandatory features: 

- no platform under the toe (quickly becoming mandatory for all my footwear choices)

- either completely flat (usually boots) or minimum 3 inch heel
- give me pleated leather/pleather and you give me death

Some (thoroughly) acceptable choices:

1 & 2. Nowhere

3. Alexander Wang

4 & 5. Isabel Marant

6. Celine

7 & 8. Prada (photos courtesy of Style By Kling)
