Lace Up Flats: Can you tell the difference?

April 4, 2016 Fashion, Lifestyle, OOTD

I am a huge bargain shopper.  So, when I find something I love that is WAYY out of my price range, I do my best to find the best dupe that looks pretty darn similar to the expensive item. 
 The lace up flats are the new trend this year and I am loving them! I have several colors in different styles, but loved the look of the Steve Madden lace up flats.  After many attempts to find a good dupe, I couldn’t find any shoe similar to the Steve Madden ones, so I went ahead and splurged on them.  A week ago, I was looking online and found similar ones online at Target, so I decided to order them.  I had already tried so many, that one more couldn’t hurt, right?
Take a look at the shoes below.
Which one do you think is the more expensive shoe? Which one cost less?

If you guessed the one on the right to be more expensive, then you are correct.  The more expensive Steve Madden shoe has a little thicker and longer of the lace up strap.  The less expensive Mossimo (Target) shoe looks very similar, just a thinner and shorter lace up strap.  But really, who is going to notice if you have the less expensive shoes, unless they are compared side by side?
Originally, the Target shoe comes looking like this below.

All I did to make them look almost identical to the Steve Madden shoes is unlace them and change the loop at the front of the shoe near the toes.  Voila! PERFECT Dupe!!!
Steve Madden’s flats are a suede material, with suede laces,
where the Mossimo flats are a polyester material.
The price, you may ask…  (drumroll please)
Steve Madden ‘Eleanorr’ Ballet Flats:  $79.95  (I got mine at Nordstrom)
Target Mossimo Kady Ballet Flats:  $24.99
That’s a $54.96 difference!! Crazy, right?!
You can afford 3 pairs of the Target flats with change to spare! 😉
If you have any good dupe fashion ideas, I would love to hear them in the comments below!! Also subscribe for updates on any new blog posts!!

There’s nothing better than waking up to a beaut There’s nothing better than waking up to a beautiful sunny day in spring, especially when the flowers are in full bloom! We showered my dear friend with gifts yesterday for her sweet baby boy on the way! 👶🏼 I wore this super comfy bump-friendly t-shirt dress & have a feeling I’ll be living in dresses all summer...but I’m okay with that! 😉 

Today is gender reveal day! Eek!!! I won’t be announcing on here until tomorrow evening probably, but stay tuned! ☺️🙌🏻Can’t wait to share! Sadly we didn’t find anywhere with magnolias in the background for the reveal, but I did manage to find this one in a local neighbors yard! 😆 Hope they didn’t mind me snapping a quick pic! 🤷🏼‍♀️😉

Currently wishing I was on a beach enjoying some s Currently wishing I was on a beach enjoying some sunshine, but instead I’m cuddled up on the couch in multiple layers... freezing per usual 🥶🤦🏼‍♀️ 

Anyone else in need of some warmer weather and maybe some beach time?! The cold gloomy weather {along with being pregnant} has me in an unproductive mood midweek! 🤦🏼‍♀️ 

I was in Seaside just over a year ago for the first time and it was magical! Thinking Conor and I need a quick getaway before baby arrives?! 🤔😉 @conor_corbett20 whatcha think?! 😜 We just booked a quick getaway next month, & it’s not quite seaside, but you’ll have to wait to see!..😉 

This floral wrap dress is perfect for spring and summer & is still available! Pretty sure I’ll be living in dresses this year since they will be the most comfortable for the bump!🤰🏼
