Tightwad Tuesday: FRYE Deborah Studded Bootie on a Budget

Darlings, to the left savor the sassy style that is the FRYE Deborah Studded Bootie; on the right alloy your pretty peepers to dance over the decadence of MIA’s Jayne Western Boot.

While the magnificent MIA is a slightly darker shade and proffers a heel that is un petit lower than that of the original; for just $104.47, as opposed to the $497.95 asking price of the FRYE’s, they are every bit as fabulous for the fashionista seeking to add a smattering of cowgirl chic to her shoe collection – at a price that no frugalista could possibly resist!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for FRYE, or be thrifty and spring for MIA?


Fashionably yours!

  1. I don't know. Neither of them appeal to me. I want something with a heel. Happy Tuesday, E.

  3. I need these! I absolutely love the low heel and the lower top. They would go perfect with a skirt and still show off my calves. Love MIA!

  4. I like the Frye ones, they're a bit more rustic looking.

  5. While I do like the distressed leather look of the Frye boots, I'd go with the MIA. It's also a bit sleeker looking and for the price, why not?! Great finds as usual, E!!

  6. I have to admit that I've never been a huge fan of the cowboy boots. I'd much rather have a pair of stilettos any day, but that's just me!

  11. Oh there's nothing like a Frye. They're always classics, and will definitely provide lots of stylin' steps. I'm going Frye ...

    ReplyDelete
  12. It depends on how often I'd wear them. If it's a passing fancy, definitely the MIA, but for tried and true, would stick with Frye's. Good find!

  16. The cowboy look isn't really my style, but if I were a fan, I'd probably spring for the Frye. I rarely skimp on shoes unless it's a fad, but sturdy boots are something a gal would probably want to invest in!

  21. I've always had good luck with MIA.

  22. I think you'd get a good wear out of these from MIA. They always fit well and are comfortable.

  23. Such a great affordable find.

  27. I've never been much into cowgirl chic but I do love the MIA ones, I think they'd look amazing with a floral-print dress or something. So I'll go with those ones :D Hope you've been having a happy Tuesday!

  30. i'd have to go for the frye ones, the mia ones just don't have the right look... although i guess they would after a couple of times walking in the rain... hm...

    ReplyDelete
  31. These are gorgeous and practically identical. xx

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh, I do like MIA. Although, I don't know if I'm the cowgirl type.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I like the lighter ones better. I actually have a chestnut colored pair of boots similar to these and I love them!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am gonna go superfrugalista on you and keep my $$ in my wallet. I don't do "cowgirl" and I don't do "low heel" - typically. Great find -but not for this "city slicker"

  38. I can't believe how expensive those 497.95 ones are!! I saw some ones similar at Forever 21 that were even cheaper but not nearly as intricate and special looking

    ReplyDelete
  39. definitely frye!! I like the color so much better!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I prefer the color of Frye's, but honestly, I probably wouldn't spend that much on either.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I've always had a place in my heart for cowboy boots. I love the FRYE ones. The distressed looks much better.
