Thrifty Thursday: Stuart Weitzman Pipeswoon Platform Pump for Pennies

Lovers, in the left corner you will spot Stuart Weitzman’s playful Pipeswoon Platform Pump; to the right prepare to marvel over the coquettish aesthetic of Mossimo Black’s Versie Pumps in Leopard via Target.

Though the heel of the majestic Mossimo’s is slightly lower (3.75 inches) than that of the wondrous Weitzman’s, and is constructed of textile materials as opposed to the haircalf upper of the originals; for a mere $29.99, in comparison to the $158.00 asking price of their haute couture counterparts, they are every bit as capable of adding a touch of high fashion ferocity to the fashionista’s shoe collection – on a frugalista budget!

Will Stuart Weitzman tempt you into being a big spender, or will Mossimo Black inspire you to save?


Fashionably yours!

  1. I'm not a big fan of leopard print items, but I would definitely get the Mossimos for my sister. Have a happy Thursday, E.

  2. Definitely lower heel, and lower price. I like to use just a hint of trendy patterns, like in a shoe, or scarf, so these are nice.

  3. Oh man! I'm completely obsessed with heels, especially ones with cool patterns! I love the Stuart Weitzman's much better! But my budget likes the Mossimo Black's much better!

  6. I must get to target. Although, I'd probably just wear the flats, though.

  7. I love this pattern. Yeah! for Target!

  8. Target has it all! i have to say i like the Stuarts better though. I can't put my finger on why exactly...they almost look "lighter" to me. Great look for less!

  9. I think I like the lighter look of the more expensive ones.

  10. Some Mossimo shoes are comfortable, some are not. Still I will opt for the Mossimo heels for the price(:

  12. I don't think I'll ever find myself wearing leopard pumps, but if I did, I would totally go with the Stuart Weitzman pair. They look very chic :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. I can't resist those Stuarts! I would have to say big spender today :)

  16. I love how you find a high price item you like and then find a more affordable option. It helps me know where I need to look for my clients.

  17. Wow those are so similar! I love leopard print, but I always fear a cheap looking print. I think for that reason I couldn't bare to get the Mossimo pair. Seeing them together, I wouldn't be able to get the SW either. The Mossimo pair does look better than a $30 shoe..... I would have to sit this one out though!

  18. I've been dyinggggggg for a pair of leopard heels, these are super cute! good find erika!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oh My Goodness! Are you kidding me? Yesterday while in SF I was telling Brandi how I have been looking for leopard print heels all over. You found them for me! Going to Target today!

    ReplyDelete
  20. i'd definitely go for the mossimo black pair!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I haven't had much luck with Mossimo shoes and I love my SW pumps so I'm going with those! =)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I actually like the Mossimo's better and think the fabric is more expensive looking than the dyed pony hair. Yay, you did it again Erika--always an amazing find!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Because of you I bought my first animal print bag EVER!
    I got a gorg Kathy bag in leopard and now your posting shoes. OH NO>

    ReplyDelete
  25. Awesome! I have a pair of flats similar to these shoes, never thought I'd be wearing animal prints! My 7 year-old self would probably cry lol :):)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Definitely the Target ones... They're too trendy for me to spend that much!

  27. Both pairs of pumps are gorgeous! I love leopard print. I think I'm going to be a big spender and go with the SW!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Stuart's are definitely gorgeous and I'm sure up close they are probably made better too. I'm gonna say I'm a big spender on this one! xo

  29. I never did find a leopard print dress for fall.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'd go for the Stuart Weitzman pair:x

    ReplyDelete
  31. this is a really good deal... what did we do before target existed?

    ReplyDelete
  32. I would definitely go for the lower heel as they would get much more wear and at that price would be so much better value.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm buying these! Thank you for finding such an inexpensive option!! Aloha :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I don't think I've ever seen such perfect shoes!!! The Stuart Weitzman ones are incredible.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Mossimo's for me--I need that lower heel! These would be so cute with a little black dress.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oooh!! Love Mossimo!! I'm always so inspired to save, and can't beat $29.99.

  50. I WAS going to ask if Mossimo is the Mossimo of Target but I guess they are. They (M) seem to offer good deals on clothing too.

    ReplyDelete

  52. few patterns can produce the swooning effect as do heels in leopard print. one of my favorite stories in 2010 was on this stylish trend. so on this one, I say let's splurge just a little :)
