10 Black Pumps Every Working Woman Should Own

Ever notice how french women (we’re looking at you editor-in-chief of Vogue, Emmanuelle Alt) look impeccably chic even if they’re just wearing a simple white shirt and skinnies? What’s the magic secret to this all round enviable level of chic? It’s the shoes my friend. The shoes. And not just any shoes. The classic black pointed toe pump.
