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!

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

    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 :)

    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!

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

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