Though the Kimchi Blue beauties are crafted out of polyurethane, and sport a synthetic sole, as opposed to the J. Crew’s which feature a leather construction and rubber sole; for just $34.00, in comparison to the $138.00 price tag of the higher priced Oxford, they are every bit as capable of adding a splash of retro style to the budget babe’s shoe collection – at a price that leaves over enough spare change to scoop up both saucy shades (Black and Tan)!
Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?
Fashionably yours!

I really like the Urban Outfitters skimmers. The style is alright, but I love flats because I hardly wear them. Hope you have a good Tuesday, E.
i have been feeling the urge to spend lately. my husband has been pulling me back though - prolly best!
ps. LOVE wing tipped styled shoes!
I would so take the cheaper one.
Wow, that's great you can find a cheaper one like this. Love it.
I'm not big on flats, but I do like the style of this one. It's got a nice look to it. I'd definitely take the leather on this one.
i love them both. but i love the UO price so much more :) i might have to go pick a pair of these up. too cute!!!
Def the Urban Outfiters ones!!!!
OMG these are to die for.
I totally worked at J Crew during college, and the discount was so amazing that I have a hard time shopping there now. It's like, OH THOSE SHOES ARE 125?! I used to get them for $40. Haha.
Nice find. Might have to snag them.
Wow, I really love this style of shoe...the tone-on-tone is really cool. :D
They're so similar I'd go with the UO's!
so brilliant! thank you!
Great find, E!
I will pick the J. Crew ones, only because they carry a size 11 for my big feet!

Omg these are adorable Erika! What a great price! Tightwad moment for me... :)

No, No Splurge, If I was buying them would go with Urban Outfitters, they are identical... I have tried Oxford flats before (have been trying since MJ the 1st time I saw MJ with them) and not for me, I look very funny with them.

i love the j crew ones!!
I doubt they'd fit my skis!
Love the Urban Outfitters one - I like how it looks more lacy :)
Flats are not my thing really but I have to say this time - J Crew all the way!

Happy Women's Day to you & your readers, CF!
GAH! I love these! I want to go to Urban Outfitters right now!!!
I pretty much wore a high heeled version of this yesterday! I had gotten them on sale at Charlotte Russe years ago and never had anything to wear them with and just decided "what the heck?!" and I got so many compliments on them :)
The flat version is cute too!
Always in need of flats! Great find.
Great match! even for a jcrew junkie like myself ;) Urban did a great job on this one!

both are pretty <3 but with this one, i think i'd go for the cheaper one ;D
Ooooh, I love the jazzy feel to them. They're so wearable. I love the J.Crew ones.
UO all the way...they are identical and why not save yourself some $$?! Another great find! xx
Call me a tightwad. As always, Urban Outfitters has got me...love them!
I really like the shoes, they remind me of saddle shoes from when I was a little girl.

um those look pretty freaking identical! id def take the cheapers ones!!!
ah these are so nice. i would very much like a pair of oxford flats asap. ;)
hope you're having a great tuesday

Triple yes! I love oxfords but I hate how clunky they are. I love that these are sleek and streamlined.
Well, well, well. Look at you, reading my mind! ;)
I have been looking for a new pair of flats for MONTHS now and you have sold me on these Urban Outfitter ones. Thank you. xoxo
I think the J Crew ones look a little nicer, but I would go with the UO ones and save some money. They are both really really cute!
What a smart pair. A change from my single colour flats
They're so alike I have to go with the cheaper one!
The Urban Outfitter pair definitely! $138 is pretty steep for flats if you ask me :o/
My gut reaction is the Urban Outfitter ones, they look a bit softer than the J Crew ones BUT after looking them both over they are close enough in looks and the J Crew are definitely priced better so I would go with the J Crew.
I would soooo rock those flats in a red pleated skirt and black tights! I am definitely in the mood to splurge...like always.
Wow, those are so similar, I have a feeling the J.Crew pair would last longer. Shoes are an investment I do not skimp on.
Haha! I saw these a while ago online after lusting after the J.Crew ones and posted about it last week. I love both, but if push came to shove, pretty sure the UO ones would win ;) such an adorable pair of flats (both hehe)

I love the UO flats! Super cute.

I actually have the Urban Outfitters ones; but they weren't very high quality and started to fall apart after a few months of wear. So I guess I'd pick the J. Crew ones if I had to try it again!
these are so cute!! i've been loving the oxford style, but lace-up flats just aren't very flattering on me. these are the perfect compromise!
i love j crew and definitely will save some money for anything they have to sell... haha!!!
they make me think of easter. So cool to find that cheaper price.
I am a serious sucker for Oxfords! I already own a few pairs but I may need these J. Crew's also ;)
They are really pretty.
these are so adorable but I wouldn't wear them, just not my style! But if I did, I would go cheap, 34 is an amazing price for cute shoes!
I just love your blog...
Kisses

They are both so lovely! I can't wait to buy a new pair of ballerinas for my spring outfit and UO is one of my favorite website.. so I have to check it out!

I prefer the J. Crew's, love the look and would definitely go for leather over polyurethane, these feet have to last me a lifetime!
Adorable shoes! Although I do tend to splurge on shoes because the more expensive ones tend to be better quality and last longer :)

Ohh those are too cute!! I would have to do the cheaper one tho!!! =)
I like the J. Crew shoes.

Oh my goodness, I love and need these flats! I would definitely make do with the Kimichi Blue ones. They would look terrific with skinnies or a grand assortment of dresses on a casual day! ♥
i like both--but i might go with UO on this one.
Shoes have got to be leather for me, so J. Crew's get my vote. Also, I like the toe shape much more.

I like the UO price point, but when it comes to shoes, I have to treat my feet well and go for quality, so I suppose it's Jcrew for me.
Good one. Very beautiful and looking great. They will more comfortable for casual wear.
Wow, both pairs of flats look exactly the same, but I agree with spending more when it comes to buying shoes. It's often hard for me to find a pair of shoes that don't bother my feet and that I feel comfortable in, so I would definitely purchase the leather J.Crew flats. The higher the price usually means the better the quality of the shoe! Also, I love these flats, they are so cute and you could wear with jeans, leggings, jegggings, and just about anything.
Love this post {as always}! If the UO ones fit I'm going to scoop them up! So cute!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend Erika!
xoxo Mary Jo
I'm so glad I picked today to catch up on blog reading - I was contemplating the J.Crew version earlier today! But those UO ones are just as great! Nice find!
they just look the same. but quality must be different.
