Thrifty Thursday: Sperry Top-Sider Southport Slingback Wedge for Less

Mes chers, to the left take a peek at Sperry Top-Sider’s sassy little summer perfect Southport Slingback Wedge in Red; to the right brace yourself for a swoon-fest over Dexter’s magnificent Megan Canvas High Wedge Sling in Red via Payless.

Though the darling Dexter’s sport a slightly higher wedge than their Southport sister; for a mere $16.99, as opposed to the $89.95 required to spruce up your shoe collection with un petit Sperry Top-Sider action, they are le perfect way for the budget babe to get nautical this summer – at a price that allows one to scoop up both Hamptons-esque shades (Red and Navy)!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Sperry Top-Sider, or be thrifty and spring for Dexter?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Nordstrom and Payless for the pictures.

I am always about thrift spending and saving. Particularly with my money being tied up in the Fitness competition. I always appreciate it when fellow bloggers find similar items for a price that's less :)

ellie said...

Wow, I even like the name Dexter, too. Great price.

I definitely like the Sperry better. My daughter says Sperry Top-siders are all the rage on campus with the college set.

Great find but neither of these are particularly suited to my taste! I have been missing you lately - life has prevented my visits. Sorry about that!
Have an awesome Thursday!

Loven the sweet leather bows on both of these shoes :)

OK I love them both but me, being a shorty would spend the extra $$$$ on those Sperry Top-Sider.

If I was going to splurge on Sperrys, I'd probably go classic over the wedges.

$16.99 is so impossible to pass up, especially with those beautiful shoes. Totally, totally going with the Dexters.

Laura said...

I like the Dexter a LOT more! I love when that happens :) This wedge would be so perfect for a summer afternoon of sailing!

Tiffany Kadani said...

I just bought a pair of Sperry's yesterday! I don't know how they are as I have not really walked around in them a ton, but I love the fit already. Getting a pair of wedges is ultra tempting!

the nyanzi report said...

Great shoe for this time of year. Looks great.

Tights Lover said...

Those wedges are a must for the summer! And $16.99 for the Dexter? Amazing!

Unknown said...

Happy Cinco de Mayo my dear!

Great shoes! Love them both but since they looks practically identical, I'll go for the Dexter ones since they're at sch a great price!

That's a good match! I really couldn't pass up Sperry's though.

Haeley P said...

I'm kinda-sorta addicted to anything high (and I pull it off marvelously, being so tiny), so I'll go for those delicious Dexter's. :^)

My Heart Blogged said...

Oh my gosh those Dexter ones are so affordable!

Lindsay and Maddie said...

Wow so cool! I'm new on blogspot.com. So I was wondering if you could check out my blog and tell me whatcha think.

Roddy Jones said...

I like the Dexters too. Something about having the sole of a shoe with a pop. I figure as I walk and the person behind me can see the cute checkered sole. :)
