Too Cheap For The Real Deal

I can't afford these absolutely gorgeous nude patent Louboutin heels pictured below because you know I'm only working with two teacher's salaries here ; ).

But I did afford a great inspired pair found here. If you decide to go with these you might want to order a size down.

I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 and I ordered an 8.5. They're a tad big, but I'll make them work. I think the 8 would have been ideal. They've got a hidden platform which you all know makes our feet just a smidge happier when we wear heels.

I'll be sure to take a pic of them on me when I wear them first. : )

Have a great Friday and an even better weekend.

    the louboutin are great, but your affordable option is fantastic! I know I can't spend $500+ on a single pair of shoes... as much as I lust over them! I LOVE Zappos!

    Oh and the extra room might be nice b/c if your feet are like mine, they usually swell a bit whilst wearing heels!

    OMG thank you! I've been lusting after the $160 Dolce Vita Madison patent pumps in biscuit (same color), which is not super spendy but still a lot... Now I can just snag a pair of these guys! Also, ADORE your blog just discovered it :) I'm a new blogger and your blog is a huge inspiration, hope I can get there someday :)

    Have you seen Adventures in Dressmaking's tutorial on turning a regular pair of shoes into a Christian Louboutin knock-off? You could totally just paint the bottom of this pair red and no one would be the wiser :)
