Hey Mer-babes! Copycat designs are everywhere and while I never want to support a copycat, sometimes a girl has got to do what a girl's got to do to look good and feel confident. I wish I could sport shoes straight from the runway on the daily, and someday we will but (at least for me) today is not that day. I have found the trendiest shoes of 2017 for wayyy less, so much less that "way" needed three "y's".
Shop the Story:
I have spent some time searching the internet for the hottest shoes I could find, which didn't take long honestly. You've seen them all; the backless loafer, the edgy ballet flat, the clear plastic boot (very technical term), the platform oxford, and the furry shower slide. All of these shoes in their original glory are over $500, I don't know about you but my monthly shoe budget does not cover that. I don't actually have a monthly shoe budget, but now I feel like thats something I need ASAP. I have found some amazing alternatives to the originals all under $100. Yas!
You can shop each shoe using the widget above or the link directly below each photo.
PS: Have you seen my latest YouTube video? I combined all of my favorite food videos for a pretty spectacular montage. Watch it here!
