bank breaker vs bargain

as ive posted here before, ive been dying over these brain atwood drama patent nude pumps with lace heel detailing. the classic nude pumps have an edgy twist and super high platform heel that make it stunning. they break the bank coming in at $660.

steve madden recently came out with their variation of the shoe, bev bb for $99, a fraction of the price. a complete bargain, so what would you do? break the bank or go for the bargain? 

i would definitely go with the original brain atwood dramas in this case, but thats probably just my compulsive shoe addiction talking.

casual grays

off the shoulder tops are one of my favorites-simple and understated yet effortlessly sexy. i paired my heather gray variation with denim shorts, over the knee knit socks and oxfords for the day, but skinny jeans or faux leather leggings would work just as well.

bank breaker vs. bargain

ive been getting a lot of compliments on my sergio rossi peep toe pumps lately, so i was ecstatic when i found an identical pair by steve madden for a fraction of the price! what a bargain! you dont have to break the bank to get this sophisticated, sleek look afterall.

menswear

ive always loved the feeling of wearing a mens collar button-down shirt. something about the crisp, classic lines of the shirt just makes you feel sexy. i paired my denim variation with some over the knee socks to incorporate a feminine touch.

strap em up!

i can't wait to get my feet into one of these military style, lace up boots. my love of boots has cultivated into a full blown obsession over the last few years. not only are military boots a must have on the list for Fall trends, there's just something about strapping on a big, chunky boot that just makes a girl feel empowered inside.
