FASHION COPYCAT: Sling back bootie

Prada Sling Back Bootie

Steve Madden, Carmenaa shoe

I have been looking for the perfect work and party shoe. I finally found it at Saks today, The Prada sling back bootie. It is everything I can ask for in a shoe: SUEDE, 5 INCH HEEL, AND STUDDED.

Before I looked at the price, I took a deep breath, I knew it wasn't going to be easy to digest. $750.00! I quickly put the shoe down and pulled myself away from the shoe salon at Saks. As I was walking home I stopped by the Steve Madden store to see what shoes they have copied this year....and there it was, a copy of my Prada Sling Back Bootie. The Steve Madden, Carmenna shoe looks exactly the same, just doesn't cost $750.00. I rarely buy Steve Maddens, but Steve Madden's version is identical to the Prada ones. For $109.00 I had to buy them. What a bargin!!! Wow... am I happy that I didn't splurge on the Prada Booties. With the hundreds I saved, I can take myself out for a yummy dinner at Bobo, wearing my sling back booties.

I am already planning outfits to wear with my new sling back booties.
