Pumps

THE MANOLO, HE IS CORRECT about the choice of the pumps for the men's formal wear. When I purchased my dinner jacket several years ago, I had to convince Kate that slip-on pumps were the appropriate choice. That said, I ended up with something like this (still very nice), when my preference was the Opera Pump.

Last time I'm swayed on that point, I'll tell ya. In fact, I think my Christmas gift to myself is going to be a pair of these babies, bow tie and all (or perhaps this?).
