Splurge or Save… on Twisted Mules?


Even though we’ve been talking a bit about fall boots & hoodies, let’s not forget about how summer is still very much shining brightly & mules are here to stay! When it comes to designer footwear, there are so many options, but who doesn’t love an affordable look-alike that saves you money?

As seen above, Dolce Vita’s Pilton mule (@Dolce Vita) is a stylish option for a variety of outfits & I do love the various colors, but not the $125.00 price! However, if you love the texture & twisted band combination & you’re looking for your next going-out heel, check out below:

SHOP: A New Day Jessa mule heels in 3 colors @Target ($37.99, available in sizes 5-12).

These neutral, affordable options are perfect for any bridal shower guest look, a family barbecue, or girls’ night out. Not to mention that these will certainly carry over well into next spring too! Which color do you like best? How do you feel about the twisted band detail? How often do you wear mules?

Luxury Look-Alikes For Less: Suede Ankle Boots by Dolce Vita Vs. Forever 21 Boots Under $30!


I’m definitely a boot girl & I love a boot with some platform too.  Of course, this isn’t necessarily safe for an icy winter night, but we all suffer for fashion in some way or another, don’t we?  I haven’t posted in Luxury Look-Alikes for Less in a while, but these were the first ones I found in a very quick search.  I love finding a bargain look-alike, especially one with a price difference of over $200!

If you’re browsing around Neiman Marcus, ready to drool over the gorgeous, expensive fashions, then you’ve probably seen the Dolce Vita suede platform boot for $245.00.  They have a 5″ heel & are also available in hot pink! Yes, these are made in Italy & deserve all the acclaim for being fabulous, but is this a budget-friendly investment?

Enter Forever 21‘s suedette ankle boot with a 5.5″ heel.  They cost a mere $27.80 & although these are in grey, they’re still equally as fashionable as their black & pink luxury counterparts.

What would you wear these with?  Is the super high platform too scary for you?  How much would you spend on boots like these? Check out our previous Luxury Look-Alikes for Less posts, including cap-toe pumps, jewelry, & plaid tops! Happy Styling!
