White pumps
White shoes were all over the Spring 2012 runways but I ignored the trend because there are two things I have spent much of my life trying to avoid; white stockings and white pumps. In my opinion white stockings should be worn only by nurses, Catholic school students or young girls under the age of 12 with their special occasion dresses. White shoes can be worn by brides (maybe, it really depends on the shoes) nurses and again young girls with their special occasion dresses. But this season I am being forced to rethink my white shoe stance (I will never change my mind about white stockings!!!!!). While they still are not for me, I am admiring how Solange Knowles, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez wore them. Especially the first three, the stark pump was an unexpected choice considering their colorful ensembles.
Rihanna is wearing Alexander Wang's Joan pump which is pretty much sold out everywhere.
If you are up for the white shoe challenge here are some choices from high to low:
Jimmy Choo Abel $525
Elizabeth & James Saucy Leather T-strap $325 (seen on Solange)
Joe's Jeans Delores $145
BCBGeneration Cielo $88.95

I'm torn. I don't associate white with nurses but they do seem retro to say the least. Like something a woman in the 1940s would have worn. On the other hand I see pics like the ones you posted and I think I would wear a white pump. I don't think I'll bite though.
