Women's Wardrobe Essentials: The Black Pump

To pick up where I left off, in my Womens Wardrobe Essentials piece, I'll continue with The Black Pump. The Black Pump is one of the chicest, sleekest items you can have in your closet. It transitions from day to night and everything in between with ease. Theres nothing that a great pump wont look good with, but a black pump is even better. No matter what your sense of style is, I think we can all agree that The Black Pump is a necessity!














Ironically, the first heels were worn by men and not women. As early as the year 1000, men wore heels when horse-back riding because it helped their foot stay in the stirrup. The Persian calvary wore one inch heels and that trend spread to Europe. Heels were then associated with upper-class because it meant you owned and cared for horses. How many of yall will be rocking these next summer!? 


Fast forward to today, the high heel can be seen anywhere, from the office, to the pews, to the club.
Why do I need a black pump?
They're a classic! Comfort is hard to come by sometimes, but once you find a shoe that fits best for you, there's nothing you can't do with them on! I prefer a pointed patent leather pump, but you can find it in matte and round toe as well.They can vary in texture but all in all, the black pump has never been turned away. I would suggest keeping the shoe simple to keep it versatile. A peep toe glitter pump might not be welcomed in certain settings. When you keep it simple you can do whatever you want with your outfit. Also, try not to go for a platform pump, that would fit best in a nighttime setting, not for the workplace

Where can I find a great pump?
