Tightwad Tuesday: Stella McCartney Patent Pointed Slingbacks for a Steal

Dolls, in the left corner you shall find Stella McCartney’s tres posh Patent Pointed Slingbacks; to the right shift your gaze to Sam Edelman’s sophisticated Orly Kitten Heel Pumps.

Though the majestic McCartney’s are constructed out of faux leather, and sport a slightly lighter nude hue than the Almond of the Edelman’s; for just $115.00, as opposed to the $645.00 one would require to scoop up the saucy Stella’s, they are the perfect compromise for the fashionista searching for runway style on a shoestring budget!

Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Stella McCartney, or be thrifty and spring for Sam Edelman?


Fashionably yours!

These are both adorable, but I will tell ya what...slingbacks do NOT stay on my feet! I don't know why...so I have always struggled at wearing them :-( Hope you have a great day!

Couture Carrie said...

I must say the Stella's pointed slingbacks colours are better.
But what a difference of price

I always wondered if I could pull this shoes off... I must try!!! They're too cute.

heatherheartsfashion said...

they are almost the same, the either colour could be better depending on your skin-tone. a little sophisticated for me i think but they are beautiful!

My ankles are too skinny for slingbacks-they always slip off my feet! But I would def go for the cheaper version :)

Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weird said...

Neither, I'm not a fan of pointy toes =-(

Natasha said...

Neither of these are quite doing it for me. No and no, but I do hope you have a good Tuesday. :)

Unknown said...

Joanne said...

I'm liking the Edelman, the color has a "coffee-with-cream" thing going on, so I'll take that one today.

I love them both, but the Stella color is more my style. Love a sling back. Bring back the low heels!

Ruby Mines said...

so cute- I love how nude shoes always seem to create the illusion that your legs are longer than they really are. :)

I've recently fallen in love with low heels. I love the Sam Edelman ones.

Style Eyes said...

I love both but they don't look too different so I would definitely go for the less expensive.

Mani said...

Love the color but if they were just a little bit higher it would be fabulous!

hugs and kisses by Mani.

Except for a slight color difference, I can't tell these apart at all. So I will thrift!

FRANKIE HEARTS FASHION said...

great find...they are virtually exact replicas of each other!

Midnight Cowgirl said...

I'll take the Stella McCartney pair!

Anonymous said...

Oh my, I just realized. I don't have any slingbacks. At least, not a pair that fits. Thank you for making me realize I'm due for a shopping trip.

A Fine Balance said...

I dont know why but I prefer the Sam E's shoes....I seem to always go for the less expensive.

Grace said...

I could definitely go for the Edelman's; I've loved the Gigi sandal in the past. Loving this style for spring!

Punctuation Mark said...

stella is fantastic but sam is definitely my pick!
