When paired with skirts or dresses, nude pumps or sandals can make your legs look miles long making them wonderful wardrobe staples (which is why all of the shoes shown here are clean, basic pumps or sandals).

It can be very frustrating to find the right pair of flesh-tone shoes and while we've tried to include some variation in color and while these may not include your ideal color/silhouette, hopefully this is a good starting point.

To aid you in your nude pump search, here are some of the colors to search for: beige, brown, ivory, natural, neutral, nude, sand, tan, taupe.

The good thing about shopping on the Internet is that you can search a lot of sites quickly which is way easier than running to all the shoe stores in your neighborhood and asking for nude pumps.

My Attempt @ Re-Creating an Outfit

I'm usually not inspired by what celebrities are wearing, but when I saw part of an interview with Katie Holmes on Good Morning America (which I actually saw on "The Soup"), I actually paused to check out Katie Holmes' simple, yet gorgeous outfit.

What made me do a double take were her gorgeous nude pumps.

I've been hunting for nude pumps for aaages and her shoes got me DETERMINED to find my nude pumps (it's not an easy job to find shoes to match your skin tone!).

I prefer nude pumps that are patent leather. I'm not sure why, but they definitely give the nude shoe a little more pizazz.

At left is the Guess Brittania Pump in Oat Patent. Not my kinda shoe because I cannot walk in platforms, but they're hot nonetheless.

When I saw the Steven by Steve Madden Eloppe in Camel Patent, I knew I had to have them (despite their final sale status) and luckily they turned out to be awesome. It's still available in a few sizes, but probably not for long.

As for the dress, the Old Navy Women's Cap-Sleeve Wrap Dresses at left would be absolutely great to re-create the look.

Another option is the Banana Republic Buckle Dress which also has a similar feel to Katie Holmes' dress.

Alright, I think I have discussed Katie Holmes enough for 2008. The only thing left to do is wear her outfit!
