I FINALLY found them!
So i've been obsessed with getting pair of "nude" heels since i saw Christian Louboutin's collection of pumps. We all know nude heels are meant elongate your legs and give you that extra little lift without taking any attention away from your outfit but these days, most high street shops define nude as a peachy-pastel-pinky colour. A pair of "nude" pumps designed to blend with the colour of a white woman's skin only contrasts against black skin cuts you off at the ankle rather than turn you into Naomi Campbell.
The collection entititled "Les Nudes" is designed to match a range of skin tones – from the familiar traditional "nude" to a rich dark brown, with five hues ranging from a 'fair blush' to 'rich chesnut'. They even have an app for matching you skin colour!
"This collection offers a spectrum of nude, re-imagining the perception of the color as a pale blush, and introducing it as the color of flesh, which ranges well beyond this traditional reference,"
- Christian Louboutin
Seeing as i don't have a designer budget, i set out on a one man mission to find the perfect nude toned patent pumps, that would suit my skin tone on the high street. I found these in the Debenhams blue cross sale and they are by Jasper Conran. They originally retailed for £55 which is still a bit of a stretch for me but much better than the £400 i'd be forking out for a set of red bottoms. They're a nice nude colour that doesnt look too much like "brown" so they match my choclatey feet just nicely!
And the best part........They were 70% OFF!!!!!
Perfection.....
