What nude heels (flats don't give the same effect) do is give the leg a long line, meaning someone's eyes don't focus on the shoes and are instead drawn up to your dress. This is the reason that ballet slippers are that soft pink color, to make the leg longer. Nude heels are typically worn with dresses and skirts, and shorts if you're into that look. You don't get the same long leg look when you pair them with pants or jeans.
I've been on the lookout for a pair of nude heels for quite some time, but haven't been able find some that are close to the Casper-equse shade of pale my legs are. However, while out shopping with a friend the other day, I was pulled into the fashion wasteland that is Fashion Bug. And lo and behold, guess what I found?
Beestow Heels, Fashion Bug, $27
According to the website, these are called "Tulip Pink." They are more beige than they are pink. I love the unique heel on these! That's what originally drew me to them. They're surprisingly comfortable, and seemingly decently made. Since these are so nice, I'll give Fashion Bug a pass for the time being. Or until I see the next horrorific polyester nightmare.
