Thrifty Thursday: Valentino Bow Jelly Thong Sandal for a Steal

My loves, to your left you will find Valentino’s blissful Bow Jelly Thong Sandal; to the right you will spot BCBGeneration’s darling Davie Thong Sandal.

While the BCBGeneration gems lack the Valentino name; for just $39.00, in comparison to the $295.00 price tag of le Bow Jelly Thong Sandal, they are the perfect way to show off one’s pretty pedicure for the summer – at a price fit for the frugalista!

Will Valentino tempt you into being a big spender, or will BCBGeneration inspire you to save?


Fashionably yours!

    The BCB looks a little less elaborate, and I like a look with more simple lines, so I'd go with the BCB today.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day, Erika!

    I have a pair of BCBG shoes that have served me very well! My go-to black heels in a pinch, so I'd BCBG for sure. Great quality, without the price tag :)

    Hmm, I would have to go for neither as I'm not a fan of jellies. But I do loves me some Valentino!

    Eternally yours,

    These are adorable! But honestly for sandals, I would never ever pay more than $200. Going with BCBG!

    Nice find!!
    I loved them (both) of course but definitely staying with the BCBG ones.
    I appreciate this post a lot. I went shopping for nice flat sandals yesterday and came back home with a pair that are ...'ok', you know just 'ok' but did not walk into BCBG.

    I'm rarely a huge spending on shoes (unless they are boots), so I'd stick with BCBG here! Great find though! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

    I'm not much into the jelly thong sandal look, but if I was it would be BCBG all the way, doll!

    I would go for the BCBG. I think it would look perfect with a summer dress.

    Oh my! They look adorable! As a young italian fashion designer, Valentino is untouchable for me (and unapproachable at the same time!) But absolutely, BCBG version looks so lovely!

    PS: you know dear, P.Piccioli (the actual creative director of the Maison Valentino) was born in my city! His family still lives here.. grgrg

    These are beautiful: perfect for beaches. I'm really bad at looking after sandals, so I'll go with the cheaper option.

    Wow - I really thought I was completely over flip flops but I adore these! Such an easy fantastic look. Perfect for running out with jeans but not looking like your just running out. Love it!
