The Look for Less (and even less)

These Miu Miu multicolored patent brougues are decidedly high-end, and while they are on sale for $437.50 (down from $625.00) at Net-a-porter, for many, that's still pretty gosh darn steep. Have no fear, though. There are even cheaper versions of this shoe available, such as the Pauletta round toe pump from Bakers for $29.99 (down from $69.95). If that's still too steep, well, now the trickle down effect is in full-effect and this Miu Miu inspired pump has found its way to Forever21 in the form of the Neopolitan ice-cream color inspire "Mandy Pump" for $25.80. For my money, though, I think I'd go for the Baker's version of the shoe, if only because it's (a) still reasonably affordable and (b) made of leather versus man made materials. For about $5.00 more, I think it's probably worth it.
