Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120 nude pumps

My Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120 pumps are one of my most treasured pairs of shoes, and also one of the pairs I wear most often. I had to join a waiting list to get these, because although they’re a Loubutin classic, which are manufactured almost every season, they tend to sell out so quickly they can be very hard to find.

They finally arrived in October of 2012 (I blogged their unboxing here), and I lost no time in “saving” them in my Shoe Challenge:

For their first “save”, I wore the Pigalles with an autumnal outfit: it was almost too cold to get away with bare feet, but there was no way I was going to wait until Spring to wear the shoes, so I braved the chill!

For this year’s Challenge, I saved the shoes with an all-mint look, and another pair of trousers. What’s interesting to me in looking back at these photos is that although these shoes go with everything – literally EVERYTHING – I mostly seem to have photographed them with trousers or jeans for some reasons. I DO wear them with dresses and skirts, but I could only find a couple of photos to prove it:

Every other Pigalle 120 outfit from 2013, however – or the ones I photographed, at least – was a little more casual:

As for 2014… well, who knows?
