The Wedge: To Splurge or to Conserve?

It's the season for wedges, and I am obsessed with the Christian Louboutin Praia Wedge sandals for  $595.00. As I try to justify why I should add these to my shoe collection, I remember (or I temporarily forgot) that I have a very similar pair of Michael Kors "Violet", that I bought 2 months ago for $195.00. So that took care of any justification that I should shell out $600 for these shoes. Well, what about Louboutin's signature red soles?
For the budget fashionista, the"Violet" Michael Kors, is the the more affordable alternative and you'll still be walking in style, of course, without the red soles.

Okay, so The Louboutins are the more stylish and unique looking of the two wedges, but are they worth the extra $400 and change?

Dazzling Espadrilles by Michael Kors

MICHAEL Michael Kors "Juniper" Espadrilles

Two weeks ago I went to the Century City mall intending to only buy my face products. No other shopping was on the agenda. I decided to take a peek in Bloomingdale's. Of course, not to buy anything (should have known better). Instead I left the store clutching onto my over sized Bloomie's brown bag with my new pair of shoes. I skipped with excitment in route to purchase my face products.
