Wednesday's Look For Less: Studded Flats

via Tumblr

I have been in loooove with studded flats ever since I saw this image of Alexa Chung at Paris Fashion Week. What's not to love- their shape is classic while the studs lend with just the right amount of edge. Most of us can only dream of  having an extra $900 to spend on shoes but who are we kidding! That's why today's Look for Less is so exciting- you CAN get this look but at a fraction of the price. Can you even tell which of these options below is the budget buy and which is the splurge? 

Okay, so when you put them side by side, it's probably fairly obvious. If you guessed that the pair on the left is the less expensive option, then you are correct. The Valentino knock-offs can be found on Piperlime for only $49! They look awfully similar to their high end inspiration, which ring up at $595. Maybe one day these shoes will either go on sale or I will win the lottery and not feel guilty about buying expensive flats. Until that day comes, you can bet I'll be wearing the less expensive version. What about you? Have you seen any similar styles for good prices? 

And while we're on the subject of good deals, I suggest you check out the Shopbop sale RIGHT NOW. All sale items are an additional 20% with the code EXTRA OFF. There are some really fab pieces that you don't want to miss!

Okay, 2013, you're doing us right so far. Keep it up!
