Splurge vs Save [Fall Footwear Edition]

Happy Thursday! I wanted to do a quick roundup of some awesome splurge vs. save items I’ve found lately. I’ve picked 4 popular fall shoe styles that you’ll be able to rock all the way until summer and found multiple pairs at multiple price points!

Hope you find something you love 🙂

SPLURGE PAIR  ///// SAVE PAIR

Velvet pumps – I’ve seen a ton of ladies with this Sam Edelman pair of velvet pumps, but because my two favorite footwear choices are sneakers & ankle boots, I didn’t want to spend $120 on them. Luckily, Old Navy released their own pair of burgundy velvet pumps and they’re under $40. And, as always – they have 35% off your purchase right now!(I ordered them recently & can’t wait for them to come in – my bright pink pumps from Old Navy are so comfy for heels!)

Here are some other velvet shoes (all under $125):

Over the Knee (OTK) Boots – I’ve been on the hunt for these for over a month and recently found a pair that met all my qualifications (under $100, semi pointed toe, black, mid height heels, doesn’t fall down my thigh). As much as I love the designer Stuart Weitzman pair, there is NO WAY I would pay $800 for a pair of boots. The pair I snagged is from Aldo and costs about 10% of that price.

Here are a handful of other pairs (all under $100):

I actually own the Target Sam & Libby pair (save pair) and really like them! I am a huge fan of Sam Edelman, and do have multiple pairs of his shoes, but for this boot I opted to go the save route. The Target pair is $45 whereas the Sam Edelman pair is $140. If these were a leather instead of a suede I would’ve paid more – but I think its hard to keep suede clean/looking good (and you never know what I’m going to spill) so Target won me over (as always!).

Here are a some ankle boot options (all under $100):

I’m a HUGE fan of leopard accessories & a HUGE fan of sneakers – so naturally I love rocking my leopard slip on sneakers. The high top Loeffler Randall pair I have were a splurge but I wear them frequently, and I know my cost per wear will end up being minimal. I found this UGG pair of slip on sneakers for $130 if you’re looking for a bit higher quality, but I also found a pair from River Island (a UK brand) for $44 if you’re looking for a better deal. I love slip on sneakers because you can wear them year round & they are perfect for travel (aka keeping you stylish & comfortable).
