Save or Splurge: Ruffle detail shoes
Once again, the "splurge" option here isn’t too much of a splurge – we think £60 is actually pretty reasonable for a pair of shoes, but there’s no denying that £15 is something of a bargain, so you may just decide to save your pennies on them, instead of going for the more expensive shoes at four times the price.
The shoes on the left are from Priceless, and are £15, while the ones on the right are £60 from Faith. We think the Faith shoes definitely look more expensive, but would they be worth the extra cash, do you think? Would you choose to save or splurge?
Actually, every time I see these, I don’t like them. I think i’m just over the t-strap thing. I think the difference is not in the look but in the feel of them. I find better quality shoes to be MUCH more comfortable, whether they look better or not is really secondary.
Both are Christian Louboutin ripoffs!

I’d probably go with the “save” option. Can’t think that I’d wear them more than twice in a season, so no need to spend the extra cash.
I prefer the smaller ruffles of the ’save’ option but the outer material of the ’splurge’.
I think I shall not buy either of them! I do my best not to buy something unless I’m 100% enamored.
I prefer the savers. So, them!
oh splurge for sure. i think the three big ruffles are more of a statement, a little chic-er.
Neither. I actually like the splurge and think they’re pretty cute – but I never spend even $60 on shoes!
