Don’t get me wrong I love a designer item every now and then, but I usually limit pricey purchases to classic items or something really one-of-a-kind. For more trendy items, I like to find designer inspired items for less. One big trend in shoes right now is the gold stiletto heel. Designers like Alexander Wang, Gucci, Nicholas Kirkwood, and Jimmy Choo have all been adorning their heels with metallics this season. I recently found a gorgeous Jimmy Choo slingback, but I just couldn’t justify the $725 price tag. Thankfully, I found a very similar style at Zara for $79 dollars! Can you guess which one is the Choo?
If you guessed the one on the left then you are correct! So, if you want to make a bold fashion statement and you have great balance, this may be the look for you. I can’t wait to pair these babies with my asymmetrical black dress from this post.

Thanks Virgil! That’s a great idea, I will have to incorporate some men’s fashion also, although I don’t think I would look very good in a men’s clothes j/k!
