Tightwad Tuesday: Christian Louboutin Bibi 140 Suede Platform Pumps for Pennies

Darlings, to your left you will find Christian Louboutin’s blissful Bibi 140 Suede Platform Pumps – the very same piece of frippery seen donned by Lauren Conrad, Isla Fisher, Blake Lively, Khloe Kardashian, Katy Perry, and Brooklyn Decker; now, if you’ll take a peek to the right, you will find BCBGeneration’s jaw-dropping Jodie High Heel in Black.

Though Jodie’s heel clocks in at 5”, as opposed to the teetering 5 ½” of the luscious Louboutin’s; for a mere $89.00, in comparison to the $795.00 needed to take Bibi home, they are every bit as capable of allowing the savvy stylista to snag a little starlet style – on a budget!

Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?


Fashionably yours!

    It's unbelievable how similar they are, at least in the pictures. I am cash strapped right now, and style for less is my perpetual motto. Thanks for sharing.

    Great find as always Erika! If the bcbg ones are at all comfortable I would vote for them--I just sold my brand new platform pump Louboutins on ebay because they hurt my feet so much I could never wear them out!

    Hoping you will please find some good flat/mid-heels to feature soon!

    The BCBGeneration looks nearly exactly the same.

    But either ways, I can't wear high heels because I can't walk in them. lol!

    Do you watch Guilana and Bill on Style? Did you see the one where she tries on Christian Loubiatons and is like, "This is so much better than a book?"

    The perfect pair of pumps! If I had the money, I would splurge. After all, black pumps are an investment piece! ;)
