Tightwad Tuesday: Dolce Vita Pela Crisscross Wedge Sandals for a Steal

Darlings, to your left you will spot Dolce Vita’s precious Pela Crisscross Wedge Sandals in Pink; to your right prepare to fawn over Mossimo’s perky Pilar Strappy Wedge Sandals in Pink via Target.

While the darling Dolce Vita’s are constructed out of true leather, as opposed to the faux of the Mossimo’s; for a mere $29.99, in comparison to the $170.00 needed to add Pela to your shoe collection, they are the perfect way to add a touch of pretty in pink to your look du jour - at a price that allows you to indulge in not one, not two, but all four fabulous colors (pink, brown, nude, and black)!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Dolce Vita, or be thrifty and spring for Mossimo?


Fashionably yours!

    I think this is the first time I want the expensive one. The pink is bold, and bright. But, the dusty rose color of the Mossimo ones are really cute too.

    I think because they remind me a bit of "Jellies" in a way (I know they are leather - its the style/color - something... I can't go there. That being said - if you were doing this trend for the first time go with target!

    Though the Mossimos are prettier, I'm not a fan of either. It's just too gladiator for me. I hope you have a good Tuesday, E.

    I actually like the Mossimo pair better, since the color's a bit more muted (I love dusty rose!). :)

    I think both are great.. but I'm more drawn to the color of the Dolce Vita pair... but I wouldn't mind owning the Mossimo ones!!

    You always find the best deals Erika!! Hope you are well my dear.

    I don't really like these shoes, but I like the Dolce Vita better because the color is more bright. I love bright colors! But the Mossimo is really lovely too!

    Both pairs of shoes are absolutely gorgeous! I gotta say, I think I'm going with the Dolce Vita here. I love the brighter color and it isn't a horrible amount of money to fork over...especially for shoes that look like that!

    I think the Dolce Vita's look better but I am not a big wedge fan. I think I only 2 pair - everything else is stiletto!

    I love these shoes! I think the idea of buying the Mossimo ones in all four colors! But, I have a soft spot for the bright pink of the Dolce Vita shoes!! So, I'm torn on this one! Great find :)

    Honestly, I think both pairs are supercute, so hard to choose!

    But when in doubt, always go for the cheaper pair, I guess ;)

  60. Angelica NgJanuary 28, 2011 1:26 PM

    Dolce Vita, it's obvious why. No explanation required. ;) Haha! Why do I always seem to pick the more expensive one? I guess I'm just willing to pay for quality.
