SPLURGE VS. STEAL: COVETED FLATS

Hi :) Thanks for stopping by.

I wanted to quickly talk to you guys about these highly coveted pair of flats. I've seen just about everyone with a pair of these babies lately. And I cannot blame them because they are beautiful ! When I finally caved in and looked them up online to purchase a pair, it made me want to cry because they are more than $300! WHAT?! I know it is good to invest on some pieces in your closet, but I do not think these are one of them. They are gorgeous don't get me wrong, but I feel like they are fast fashion and will die down quickly...as with everything in the world of fashion loll.

To make the story short, I found a pair that looks EXACTLY like the $300 ones, except they cost a similar amount to what you spend when you go out to eat ;)!! LOL

If you guys know me by now, you know I love a good deal and ultimately sharing them with you guys!

Let's jump into them...literally ;)

SHOP

Loeffler Randall "Ambra Lace up flats"

Imported from Brazil

Leather: upper, lining and sole

Price $295 + tax

SHOP

Forever 21 "faux leather lace up flats"

Imported from China

Padded insole, textured outsole

100% polyurethane

Price: $24.90 + tax

Overall comparison: Style is exactly the same, both have a small heel. The lace is fed around the shoe exactly the same. I would say the only different is the material; one is genuine leather and the other is faux leather. All in all, it comes down to personal preference. 

What are your thoughts on these, and which would you choose?!

I love reading your feedback.
Happy Wednesday !

Thanks for reading <3
