Payless get more!
This month is officially my savings month! The question of money is always strong when you are at school (or university as me) but we must not forget fashion and style. Today I found great shoes, boots and clutches all under $80!
Well, Payless is not my usual place to shop for high fashion and designer cloth (or specifically shoes and handbags), however I must say that this time they got some fierce styles with designer such as Christian Siriano and Alice+Olivia. First, it’s the black peep-toe platforms by Alice+Olivia with front zipper and edgy black studs all over them for only $50! The only disappointment is that they are made from faux leather (as most of the models in Payless). 
But then I think it’s a good choice if you don’t have a huge budget for fashion. One season shoes aren’t that bad especially when you are tight financially. The next season you won’t be bounded to your old closet – make a room for new shoes. On other hand, it’s not even disappointment for some of you who care for nature and don’t approve leather like Stella McCartney. Oh, almost forgot! Alice+Olivia created amazing booties as well ( in faux leather again). These ones actually look like Marc by Marc Jacobs Biker Boots retailing for $940. Here are pictures to compare:
The next stop is at Christian Seriano for Payless, how cool it is – don’t have to run arounds to find beautiful shoes, instead it’s all in one single store. My choice here is obviously booties which indeed come in “leather” and blue printed fabric. It’s the best alternative for those of you who do not like faux leather but find the model interesting. So it’s up to you to make your choice! By the way both would look just perfect with a pair of skinnies or cigarette pants! Another point worth mentioning is their bright blue soles – Christian Siriano signature. Oh! And the cone zipper pull – pure rock’n'roll! And don’t forget to get the matching clutch with chains and zipper with another cone pull on it!
All of his creations for Payless reflects his runway styles pretty closely, so the best way to copy is from the master himself. Money-worth all these things are almost given to you – price ranges from $25 to $50. My approval for 100%!
Check for yourself how closely related these two models (in fact, left is the Payless copy of the runway look):
