Now that we are in full-on fall layering season, I have put away my summer sandals and started digging out all of my close-toed shoes for winter. I realized that I need to replace an old pair of brown pumps with a new pair that are comfortable enough to wear all day at work, and because I tend to wear preppy layers to work I want to get a pair of loafer pumps. Loafer pumps were huge last fall, and I didn't buy into it then, but now they are back this year with plenty of great styles to choose from!
These are my top two choices at the moment:
Left: "Mya" penny pump, available in black or dark amber, $128 at Banana Republic here
Right: Pour La Victoire "Isla" loafer pump in brown, $99.99 at Loehmann's here
I also like these two below. The style on the left is a little chunkier and the style on the right is not exactly the color I originally thought of getting, but this brand is SO comfortable:

And finally, the splurge options:
Left: Kate Spade Leather Loafer Pumps in brown, $298 at Saks here
Right: Cole Haan "Braiden" Slip-On Loafer in chestnut, $178 at Amazon here
Now I just have to decide...what is your take on loafer pumps? Would you wear them? Which ones do you think I should choose?
Happy hump day! =)
I don't know how you are going to choose - they are all so cute! I actually bought a pair of black loafer pumps at Banana Republic last year, but returned them because I felt really guilty spending $100+ on shoes i can't even wear to work.
ReplyDeleteI'm leaning toward the Banana Republic loafers, and my game plan is to use the next 40% coupon that comes through my inbox...plus a $20 reward that I have been saving to bring them under $60. Crossing fingers they still have my size when I am ready to pull the trigger! =)

Thank you! It is crazy...I ordered this blazer online and it happened to be exactly what I wanted. How often does that happen?
