Tightwad Tuesday: Givenchy Crisscross Wedge Sandal for a Steal

Darlings, in the left corner we have Givenchy’s chic Crisscross Wedge Sandal, the very same ones seen gracing the tootsies of glamourai Leigh Lezark; to your right you will find BCBGeneration's gorgeous Gonzalo Wedge Sandal.

While the BCBGeneration's beauty is crafted out of a blend of black lycra mesh and leather, while the jaw-dropping Givenchy’s are made solely out of leather; for a mere $98.95, in comparison to the $1,174.50 asking price of the Givenchy’s, they are every bit as capable of turning heads and inducing gasps from your many admirers as their couture cousin. Not to mention you can pick them up in three irresistible hues (black lycra mesh, silver ash shimmer metallic, and buttermilk plush napa)!

Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?


Fashionably yours!

  1. While the Givenchy version is undeniably gorgeous, I am gonna go with the BCBG b/c if I had that much in my pocket to spend, it would be one of two things, a fab new handbag or a pair of Christian Louboutins!

  2. I love this shoe! The twist is so unique- I bet both look great on too. :)

  3. Wow, I actually like the BCBG Girls version better. The draping just works a little better for me.

  4. Definitely the BCBGirls shoe. The Givenchy is gorgeous, but I'm not not paying that much for a pair I can get for under $100

  5. Once you get a Givenchy you never go back. Their shoes are so comfortable! x

  6. I love the Givenchy version but I have to say I would go for the BCBG one. So much more affordable and gives off the same effect.

  8. Oh dear! I don't think I could ever pass up Givenchy! But, I like the fact that the cheaper version has other colors. Hmmm....this is a tough one!

  13. I got a pair of wedges but they broke, a strap came off, the following day. I had to take them back. Now I'm thinking more about fall and looks like my summer shall remain wedgeless. Oh well... I'm so excited about all the caramel and coffee frocks I saw yesterday here in Paris... allover the stores!

  14. Ooh, such cute wedges. I love BCBG, so I'd go with that pair.

  17. I actually think that the Bgbgirls one look better:)

  18. They are way cool to see on someone else. Just not me. If I were to afford them...they'd be on a shelf somewhere. I'd never wear them. I like something I know I can hop around in at a concert or run..if the case maybe. I can definitely me crashing in them if I wore them. But they are amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm definitely going with the BCBGirls pair. They look great!

    ReplyDelete
  20. ohhhh bcbgirls. i love them. they're so good at replicating everything i want but can't have, and this is no exception... the gracefulness of this teetering high wedge is just stunning in both shoes !!

  22. I'd definitely go with the BCBGirls. It's a stunning but very trendy shoe, and most girls (if they're anything like me) will probably only wear them a few times!

    Have a great day Erika!

  23. Gotta go with the BCBGirls! So cute!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Can you own $1,200 shoes and not be afraid to walk in them?

    I love this style of shoe! They're both gorgeous, but since I have a love for BCBG shoes already, and the price is right....

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think the BCBGirls looks better.

  27. Those Givenchy shoes are amazing, but I can think of so many other things I could spend that money on. I'd definitely opt for the BCBG girls shoes on this one. Fabulous find!

  47. I wish the expensive ones weren't SO expensive because I like them so much more. Though the basic design is great ton both!

    ReplyDelete
  48. They're both amazing, but I actually like the BCBG one more. I mean, even if they were the same price (pffft, they're PRACTICALLY the same, no?!), I'd go with the BCBG. I love the suede material!

    Great finds, as per usual!

  50. As always I can't believe the price difference. Over $1000 WOW

    ReplyDelete
  51. I definitely have to be thrifty on this one. Although those Givenchy's are gorgeous, the BCBG's are pretty too and at that price.....well, can't go wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Wow! I don't really know if I could justify spending $1,174 for a pair of shoes that -- no mater how amazing! -- are unfortunately a trendy piece. I think I'd go with the BCBG pair and enjoy them for the right here and now! :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. This is a tough one but I think I'd go Givenchy- not that I can afford it but I like the wide leather strips better. Hope you're having a fabulous week hon! xo, mel

    ReplyDelete
  54. I like them both in different ways - oh no, now I want both! (-:

    ReplyDelete
  55. While the look is soooo similar, I prefer the leather of the Givenchy.

  57. Oooh love the originals, but the steals look just as good!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I absolutely love the Givenchy ones. They are so hot! I would even wear them during the winter. The BCBGeneration ones are really great too. I just bought a pair of heels from that brand. They are so comfortable (which is hard to find with heels!!).

    ReplyDelete
  59. The Givenchy are undeniably gorgeous, but the BCBG are an amazing look for less!

  60. I'd definitely go cheap. The color is much sweater and I don't like that the fabric strap of the pricey one reaches the side of the sole. Haha. I'm picky, aren't I?

    ReplyDelete
  61. None of them this time,though Givenchy is pretty cool.

    ReplyDelete
  62. sigh I want the Givenchys but I'd settle for the BCBGenerations :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Erika, those are both hot!
