Maitreya - ChiChi Pumps

Sometimes when something gets blogged over and over and over, it turns into a forgotten fad gathering dust in the back of the closet rather quickly. It becomes yesterday's story almost immediately. Other times, it becomes a classic. The ChiChi pumps from Maitreya fall into the latter category. It is a rare outfit in SL that these pumps cannot be worn with and you will find yourself admiring the stylish heel over and over as you flip through all your options.

Yep, that's right - if the basic shoe isn't glorious enough and 14 colors don't give you all the options you want, they are also scripted for 16 trim colors so you can customize your footwear even further. The shoes come in blue, black, white, brown, red, fuchia, orange, yellow, purple, cream, pastel pink, pastel blue, pastel yellow and pastel green. The trim colors include all of the shoe shades plus grey and champagne. This is in fact, the only thing wrong with these shoes - that the grey and champagne aren't available in the shoe base. ;)
.
You have a couple of purchase options at this point - a single pair (which is really 16 pairs with the trim colors) for L$450 or all 14 colors in a Fat Pack for L$4000. The Fat Pack wasn't in my budget (though I know I'm going to regret that in the future) but I've worn the black and white pairs I got over and over with different outfits and different trim colors. This shoe is definitely a perfect piece and a must have for any closet.
