For the past month, I've been trying to look for a pair of classic black pumps for work for a nice style and good price. The last pair I wore for a whole year were 1 inch heels from Nine West that I got on Boxing Day for $50. I found the quality to be mediocre though, given the sole started peeling off from the front within the first 2 months. Yesterday, I passed by The Room at the Bay and found Gianvito Rossi (son of Sergio Rossi) pumps, for 70% off and an extra 50% off the sale price. This made them cheaper than Nine West at full price! How could I resist? Made in Italy with leather soles, they are the ultimate classic style statement.
