Though the daring DV by Dolce Vita’s are constructed out of a shiny patent leather, as opposed to the more subdued pure leather of the beautiful Bradshaw’s; for just $89.95, in comparison to the $350.00 one would need to teeter off with the tantalizing Tory’s, they are every bit as capable of helping the frugalista to strut her stuff in style on the boardwalk come summertime – without having to forsake the simple warm weather luxuries of ice cream cones and frappuccino’s!
Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Tory Burch, or be thrifty and spring for DV by Dolce Vita?
Fashionably yours!

Every shoe you post, I fall in love with... it's becoming a problem!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to Miami this weekend and those would be PERFECT!
Def the thrifty version! I like the patent leather better :)
ReplyDeleteThose heels are too teetering for me ... Yikes! I'm still going to browse the shoe dept for something else :)
ReplyDeleteThey're both so pretty! I'm not so sure I can walk in those heels! :)

Ah I think I will have to skip ont he Tory Burke...wish I could afford lol
ReplyDeleteI'd go thrifty on this one. I really like the nude shoe trend (a lot), but no shoe is worth $350. Lovely shoes, though. They look impossible, but I can handle any height so long as it's a platform.
ReplyDeletethose shoes are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, great new price you found. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd ever spend that much on a shoe..350..wooooo..they are lovely. Glad you found that cool new price on these.
ReplyDeleteOMG the Tory Burch are soooo pretty! If I had those 350 I'll buy them for sure! real leather is better always ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the thrifty pair! I just wish I could walk in them!
ReplyDeleteTory Burch all the way! Though I like patent leather, not sure how I like it on the nude color.
ReplyDeleteI really prefer the thrifty pair, the colour is more wearable!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of DV shoes, I have 3 pairs! These are no excpetion! I really like this shoe for spring! Hmmm...

In a perfect world I would run, like RUN to get the Tory Burch ones, I prefer them over the patent leather ones ... still both are beautiful and the price difference is amazing considering that design-wise they are very similar.

Did I inspire this post? I'm seeing Espadrille's everywhere ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love both pairs of shoes. I also really love Tory Burch...but these, to me, look just about identical. Therefore I shall go easy on the ol wallet and opt for the DV's!
I love the name that Tory Burch came up with for her shoes, so Sex and The City. However, I would go for the DVs. As for me, I don't think it's really an epiphany than me just deciding not to be a brat about not getting what I wanted. I hope you have a good one, E. :)
ReplyDeletei'd definitely be thrifty! they're almost identical!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm such a sucker for this editorial you do each week! The funny thing is I think the DV ones look more expensive. If only they weren't so tall!!

I personally think that the DV shoes look more expensive. I am a big fan of Tory Burch and DV but some of Tory Burch's items are WAY over priced, but that is just my opinion!
