Shoes - Is It Worth It To Go Designer or Deal?

So from time to time (ok, more often than not) I look around online to see what the latest trends in shoes are (more admittedly for my own personal obsession). I found a really sexy pair at DSW that just struck a cord with me because of the contrasting vibrant colors. Then I realized I had very similar shoes. The only real difference to me was the price. Can you tell which is the designer brand ($999 to be exact) and which is the deal ($60)?

Newest Fashion Trend – Natural Shoes

When I say ‘natural’ I’m really talking about the color. The newest trend in shoes lately has been the natural browns and golds, which compliment a person’s skin tone, especially during the summer months when we all are getting our tan on. The best part about it? You can wear them with just about any outfit. Here are a few that I’ve recently picked up, all at three different price points:

High heels, Aldo, $79 - These are very comfortable (for heels) and are pure soft leather so they don’t cut into your skin like a lot of the more cheap heels do. Also, as you wear them, they get even softer. Score!

Mix No. 6 Gold and brown gladiator sandals, DSW, $34.95 – Super comfy and super cute. These are perfect for the summer, especially for an outdoor concert event, an evening walking along the pier, or even a day at Disneyland.

Brown and Teal sandals, Payless Shoes, $14.99 – Ok, so they’re not as soft as the leather heels or as comfy as the gladiator sandals, but that’s because I’m a sandal snob and I’m all about comfort. Honestly, it’s more about the fact that it has the long divider between the toes, but that’s a personal preference. You get what you pay for and these are more about aesthetics than anything.
