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.
ReplyDeletei have been feeling the urge to spend lately. my husband has been pulling me back though - prolly best!
ReplyDeleteps. LOVE wing tipped styled shoes!
I would so take the cheaper one.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's great you can find a cheaper one like this. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeletei 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!!!
ReplyDeleteDef the Urban Outfiters ones!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG these are to die for.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteThey're so similar I'd go with the UO's!
ReplyDeleteso brilliant! thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat find, E!
ReplyDeleteI will pick the J. Crew ones, only because they carry a size 11 for my big feet!

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.

Can't tell the difference! Urban Outfitters all the way :)
ReplyDeleteLove your find,very nice! :)
ReplyDeletei love the j crew ones!!
ReplyDeleteI doubt they'd fit my skis!
ReplyDeleteLove the Urban Outfitters one - I like how it looks more lacy :)
ReplyDeleteFlats 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!
ReplyDeleteGAH! I love these! I want to go to Urban Outfitters right now!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDeleteThe flat version is cute too!
Always in need of flats! Great find.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I love the jazzy feel to them. They're so wearable. I love the J.Crew ones.
ReplyDeleteUO all the way...they are identical and why not save yourself some $$?! Another great find! xx
ReplyDeleteCall me a tightwad. As always, Urban Outfitters has got me...love them!
ReplyDeleteI really like the shoes, they remind me of saddle shoes from when I was a little girl.
ReplyDeleteMy Heart Blogged
um those look pretty freaking identical! id def take the cheapers ones!!!
ReplyDeleteah these are so nice. i would very much like a pair of oxford flats asap. ;)
ReplyDeletehope 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.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well. Look at you, reading my mind! ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a smart pair. A change from my single colour flats
ReplyDeleteThey're so alike I have to go with the cheaper one!
ReplyDeleteThe Urban Outfitter pair definitely! $138 is pretty steep for flats if you ask me :o/
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteI would soooo rock those flats in a red pleated skirt and black tights! I am definitely in the mood to splurge...like always.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are so similar, I have a feeling the J.Crew pair would last longer. Shoes are an investment I do not skimp on.
ReplyDeleteHaha! 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)
ReplyDeleteTasia
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!
ReplyDeletethese 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!
ReplyDeletei love j crew and definitely will save some money for anything they have to sell... haha!!!
ReplyDeletethey make me think of easter. So cool to find that cheaper price.
ReplyDeleteI am a serious sucker for Oxfords! I already own a few pairs but I may need these J. Crew's also ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are really pretty.
ReplyDeletethese 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!
ReplyDeleteI just love your blog...

ReplyDeleteI prefer the J. Crew's, love the look and would definitely go for leather over polyurethane, these feet have to last me a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteAdorable shoes! Although I do tend to splurge on shoes because the more expensive ones tend to be better quality and last longer :)
ReplyDelete♥ Leia
Ohh those are too cute!! I would have to do the cheaper one tho!!! =)
ReplyDeleteI like the J. Crew shoes.
ReplyDeletehttp://fashiontriedandtrue.blogspot.com/
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! ♥
ReplyDeletei like both--but i might go with UO on this one.
ReplyDeleteShoes have got to be leather for me, so J. Crew's get my vote. Also, I like the toe shape much more.
ReplyDeletehttp://red-soledfashionista.blogspot.com/
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.
ReplyDeleteGood one. Very beautiful and looking great. They will more comfortable for casual wear.
ReplyDeleteWow, 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.
ReplyDeleteLove this post {as always}! If the UO ones fit I'm going to scoop them up! So cute!
ReplyDeleteHope 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!
ReplyDeletethey just look the same. but quality must be different.
