Sunday Steals: Frye Harness 12R Leather Riding Boots on a Budget

Kitty cats, to your left do yourself a favor and take a gander at Frye’s glorious 12R Leather Riding Boots; to your right allow your eyes to gaze upon the magnificence that is Mossimo Supply Co.’s Katherine Leather Engineer Boots.

While the Mossimo marvels are a slighter lighter shade of brown than the fantastical Frye’s; for a mere $49.99, in comparison to the $218.00 needed to make Frye your own, they feature the very same sophisticated cowgirl aesthetic of the originals, at a price that is far more pleasing for the budget fashionista’s pockets!

What’s your bank account telling you to do, kittens? Will you be a big spender with Frye, or play the role of the thrifty fashionista?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Bloomingdale’s and Target for the pictures.

  2. Oh..so much a like. Really. My bank account isn't made for expensive boots though. & I think Target will do me just as well.

    So nice to know this information.

  6. Definitely, think the thrifty one will hold up to the elements. I loved my boots I got from Target last year..and they are still ready for another year.

  12. I love the Mossimo version of the boots. There were also boots like those at Payless. I'm going to be thrifty here and maybe splurge on a couple of pairs. Hope you have a good Sunday.

  16. Love them both. My pocket prefers the cheap ones though. Take care dear.

  17. I'd kind of been wanting some boots like this, but I didn't really want to splurge on Frye's. So thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oooh I like! Prefer the color of the Frye version :D

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ahh love both of these boots! I have so many darker ones, I'm in the mood for some browns ... and I'm going to ignore the $218 price tag and go for the Frye ones :) Hope you've had a great weekend!

  21. It's crazy when you think of the price of fashion but I love it

    ReplyDelete
  22. I am soooo going to Target! I love that store- and their shoes last forever!

    ReplyDelete
  23. The Mossimo boots look so much like the Frye ones it is crazy! I have to say Frye all the way though, they will last you a lifetime (if not that long, at least 5 years) where the Target ones would probably just last the season (I assume they aren't leather). Love, A

  24. Both pairs look great! But I think I'd go for the Frye just because I'm sure they're a better quality than the Mossimo pair. Plus, I always hear such great things about the Frye boots!

    ReplyDelete
  25. The Target pair is totally worth it! They look like the Frye's but I think they're actually a little more comfy and a little less clunky!

    ReplyDelete
  26. They're very similar, but there's just something about the Frye ones that I loke more!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love Mossimo! He makes the cutest stuff, for the greatest prices.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I've been looking for similar boots for so long. Great picks.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think the Frye pair have my heart!

  32. What a find. I would definitely go for the cheaper ones (if I could fit any more shoes in my wardrobe).

    ReplyDelete
  33. ooo, I like the Mossimo one but I would go Frye today! $218 dollars isn't that bad for a well-made boot!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Perfect match! So chic.

  39. I would love it if you helped me find a cheaper alternative to the JCrew boots I posted on Friday. I love them, but at $350, they're a little over my price range.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'll take a pair of Mossimo boots any day! I love Target hehe;)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Erika. It's official. You are the queen of boots and boot finds. This is a serious jackpot!!

  43. So cute!
    I love them both, but, since my wallet wears the pants in this relationship, I'll have to go with the Mossimos.
    Which is not that much of a loss, as they are simply adorable!
