This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.
Spring sales are starting to happen, and we love the shoe sales going on right now at Barney's, including these great Prada pumps (available only in lucky sizes, alas). We love the walkable heel, as well as the not-quite blue, not-quite black color of them. Were $625, now $249. Prada Buckle Pump

Gorgeous shoes, and what a great deal, but they’re only available in 10.5.
To be honest, even my mother’s too young for this shoe model…
I thought the pilgrim look was in this season. Or perhaps pirate? Argggg!
Whatever, Liz. I for one think they’re gorgeous!
I love these – classic.
love the buckle. heel is too short for my taste, but love the buckle. did i say that already?
Maybe overseas and European fashions differ. Here, it’s still very much round or pointy toes (pointy less and less though), not square.
