Splurge
This Marc by Marc Jacobs pump updates the classic Mary Jane with an extra strap and four-inch covered heel. Grab a pair of this Italian-made shoe with brushed-nickel buckles at Barneys Co-Op in Chevy Chase or Georgetown for $440.

Steal
Steve Madden’s Dreamin patent-leather pump is a dream; it goes for $27.99. The 3½-inch leather-soled pumps showcase a skinnier heel and delicate front detailing. The Georgetown and Tysons Corner stores still have most sizes on this sale shoe, which also comes in gold and black. Call ahead for sizes.
