Dolls, on the left we have MICHAEL Michael Kors’ versatile ‘Juniper’ Espadrille Sandal (LIKE); to the right we have MRKT Clove’s saucy Wedge Sandal (TRY).(WHY?) Though the ambrosial MRKT Clove offering is paler in hue and sports a four-inch braided rope wedge as opposed to a four-and-a-half inch wedge; at a mere $69.95, in comparison to the $139.95 asking price of the Kors’ temptresses, they are just as magical as their haute couture counterparts – and a blissful way to take the wearer from the boardroom to the boardwalk with effortless ease!
Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?
Fashionably yours!

Since they can be a "one season" purchase, either because of changing styles or just getting worn out, I'll go for the lesser expensive.
ReplyDeleteAmazing find, darling! I am definitely having a tightwad moment!

I remember espadrilles from my childhood days in the 70's. Thankfully they're much better now. Mine were boring beige, a much lower heel and string that wrapped up your calf. Thankfully when designers update fashion of yesterday, they generally do it much better than the original.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great day Erika! I've missed your posts but I'm back to regular blogging now.
Those Michael Kors wedges are way too cute. :)
ReplyDeletehave a fabulous week, darling!
I think I'll have to go with Michael Kors on this one! :)
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered your blog and i love it so much! <3

Wow, good match! I think I'd got for the MRKT Clove, because I doubt I'd wear either one very much. I'm a flip flops girl in the summer.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these espadrilles look great! But because I love everything Michael Kors, I just can't resist them. So, I think I'll splurge! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference in price! I'm going to have a tightwad rest of the month as I've spent too much already and there's still 3 weeks til payday! xx

Ok, I understood nothing you wrote! I love how you say 'Fashionably Yours' :D
ReplyDeleteOh I like the tightwad one!! The colors are way more summery.
ReplyDeleteI love it when I prefer the thrifty version - and so does my bank account :) But both are beautiful my dear!
ReplyDeleteI think I am craving the urge to splurge, mainly because I do prefer the the darker hue. That said, I would never spend quite that much on a pair of wedges, so the MRKT clove it would have to be.

You are the best at tracking down comparable looks!!! Seriously, those two could be by the same designer!! I would save and get the less expensive pair for this. I think I lean towards spending the higher amount on year round items, and going for the savings on the single season clothing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I went into a Limited to find that printed skirt, but they didn't have it; so sad!
I'm a tightwad on this one!
ReplyDeleteAgain, I like both a lot, but I would go for the coves. I hope that you had a great weekend Erica :)
ReplyDeleteSunday Steal indeed! I love the cheapies, perfect for stomping the streets this summer! x
ReplyDeleteThese wedges are so perfect for summer. I can imagine wearing them to a picnic with a very cute guy. I definitely prefer the Micheal Kors one.
ReplyDeletelove the shoes! I probably would get the cheaper ones though
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love MRKT. My nude wedges are so so so comfy and for only $60 they are one of the best pairs of shoes I have ever had. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these options! And i am plagued by the urge to splurge every single day lol
ReplyDeletexxx
I still feel like gettin the Kors! : Plan bias I guess! :) Lovely steal though!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. They'd perk up any wardrobe. Especially, for summer.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a close match!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd ever buy either, but I do prefer the Michael Kors.
ReplyDeleteI feel like your ability to find items that are nearly identical to one another, but at a cheap cost, is AWARD worthy.
ReplyDeleteIt seriously puts me in awe.
I'm terrible with wedges - but these are really adorable!
Thanks so much for stopping by! You're the nicest!

I actually like the MRTK version better. Fab post, E! :)
ReplyDeleteXx
Hmm... so close! I think I would scrimp because they're so similar but something about the expensive ones calls out to me
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the Kors one more ;)
ReplyDeleteeither pair would make me fall in love. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take a pair of Kors please! ;)
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Stephanie
I love them both!
ReplyDeleteLove these, so great for summer !! :) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat alternative as usual, darling Erika!
ReplyDelete♥
They are both very beautiful. I guess whatever mood, and however much money you have, would determine the purchase.
ReplyDeleteI think the MRTK are a fabulous find; on the other hand the price for the Michael Kors' isn't thaaaat bad either. Difficult. I love them both!
ReplyDeleteYou won't believe this, but I have a woven belt that is the exact color scheme as the MRKT version, just wider!
ReplyDeleteSo now I guess the question is if I feel like being all matchy-matchy... of course, I guess I don't have to wear the belt and shoes together...
Thanks for uncovering this for me Erika :)
Both are gorgeous! But I prefer the color on the Michael Kors wedges! I think it's time to dust off my wedges, but not without getting a pedicure (which I'm in desperate need of!).
ReplyDeleteI really like the multi-colored style of the second one!
ReplyDeleteOK, both are fab, but I think I'd splurge and go for the M. Kors one because I do prefer the straps to be a wee slimmer, and like the dark brown tones better.
ReplyDeleteHave I told you how much I love these posts because I'm amazed you always find a great inexpensive alternative?! Well, I do!
Hope you have a great Monday!
xo, becs
I love the cheaper version better... just hope it feels comfy. xoxo
ReplyDeleteEven though I love anything Michael Kors, I'd definitely have to go for the cheaper ones this time!

I actually JUST bought the Michael Kors pair (in gold) and wore them on Saturday, so I guess I splurged on this one. They're so comfortable and I feel super tall in them. Hope you had a great weekend, Erika!

I've been wanting those MKs in gold soooooooo bad!
ReplyDeleteI love these wedges! This time I would go for the originals, I think they are much more stylish!
ReplyDeleteThey are both great! Love the discounted one! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOnce again, another fantastic find. I think I actually like the lighter colors better.. they're perfect for summertime :)
ReplyDeleteI would go with the cheaper version because this is a seasonal shoe! Year-round items like boots, I usually make the more expensive purchase because I know that the wear and tear factor will be much greater. However, summer shoes I usually go cheap! However I do love to splurge on a great pair of heels every once in a while, and perhaps someday a bit more. :) These are both beautiful sandals, how do you do it my love? You never cease to amaze me with your ability to find AMAZING items!!!

Deffo go cheap. I love the inclusion of the light-colored woven material :)
ReplyDeleteI like the tightwad version MORE!!
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't but I can't help it! I find MK shoes very comfortable...I'll pay a little more for them!
