Tightwad Tuesday: Yves Saint Laurent Deauville Wedge Sandals for a Steal

Mon doux, to your left you will find Yves Saint Laurent’s decadent Deauville Wedge Sandals - the very same ones seen worn by Megan Fox; cast your gaze to the right and you will spot Steve Madden’s tantalizing Taytum.

While the Madden marvels are ever so slightly lower in height than the luscious Laurent’s; for a mere $89.95, in comparison to the $695.00 required to add a little YSL love to your shoe collection, they are every bit as capable of giving le frugalista the chance to try a little haute couture on for size – at a price that doesn’t break the bank!

So mes chéris, what are you up to today? Will your AmEx take a beating with a splurge, or will you stay safe and thrifty with a frugal buy?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Saks Fifth Avenue and Steve Madden for the pictures.

This time of year is great for shoes like these ... I'd take the Maddens, but with a little lower wedge please :/

I cannot believe how closely Steve Madden has replicated this shoe! I'd go for the cheaper pair, though if I were YSL, I'd be a little upset ;-)

awesome wedges! definitely the Steve Madden ones .... I spent my whole morning in their store and got the cutest pair of shoes (will post pictures shortly) and they are all very comfortable, so besides being on a 'Steve Madden' mood today I see no reason for the extra spend, they are very similar, LOVE Steve Madden :)
