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.

  1. 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 :)

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

  44. 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. :)
