Wardrobe Staple: Basic Black PLATFORM Pump

Every woman's closet needs an essential black pump. I'm going to go on record of saying not only does every closet need a basic black pump, it needs a PLATFORM black pump. Leather, patent leather or suede is up to you, but it indeed must be a PLATFORM. Yes, I felt the need to capitalize PLATFORM because it's just that important. Besides their wonderful attributes of walking stablility, illusion of longer leaner legs, and allowing you to be able to achieve the most statueque height; PLATFORM pumps are simply gorgeous to look at!
I'll also go on saying that I believe that Yves Saint Laurent's Tribute PLATFORM heel is by far one of the greatest pair of shoes ever made. I swear you could wear this pump with absolutely anything. But, for those of us who really can't afford to shell out about 800 bucks on these babies (which might argueably may be worth it) I have picked some black PLATFORM pumps that are perfect for basically any occassion. While, I prefer an ultra high heel, there is a perfect PLATFORM height for everyone. Find what works for you.
