Shoes-day: J Crew Blakely Shimmer Linen Pump

After reviewing the Collection Blakely Printed Pump in a size 7, I ordered the Blakely Shimmer Linen Pump in a 6 1/2 to compare.  I really wanted to make sure sizing down a half size would work for me in this shoe.

The 6 1/2 is the right size for this pump. I am consistently a size 7 in JC shoes, and most others, but this felt much better on. My heel didn’t slip and I didn’t walk out of the shoe either.

This has some metallic threading to make the linen shimmer. It’s a great shoe, especially for Spring and Summer. If you have a wedding or two, these would be a great neutral to pair with any dress or outfit.

Though very pretty, these are not for me. I rarely wear closed-toe pumps in the Summer and opt for sandals or espadrilles instead. 
Again, size down a half size for these. I have a little wider foot and these were not tight through the toe-box. The toe-cleavage is also very minimal.
Have a Great Day! Stay warm!
