M.Gemi Piccolo Pump | Corporette

Coffee Break: Piccolo Pump

I continue to be impressed with M.Gemi’s offerings for pumps, sandals, booties — they all seem chic and on point. Today I’m liking the look of the Piccolo, a kitten heeled pump with pointed toes and a studded details on the ankle strap. It clocks in at 1.75″, and I like that it has a…

strappy flats for work
