Looks for Less: Tory Burch flats

April 13, 2011

There are plenty of “looks for less” sites where they provide you with an affordable alternative to a pricey designer item or celeb look.
Two of my absolute faves are The Looks for Less and The Budget Babe.
Since there’s already awesome gals providing that, I don’t do it too often —
I rather send you right to the source. However, this time I’m compelled to share.
The subject: Tory Burch Eddie flats.
 Gorgeous in their simplicity, right? Totally! And, they even have memory foam. Nice feature.
Plus, I absolutely adore Tory. I love her personally as well as her looks.
get this: during a recent visit to her store in my local mall, the sweet sales gal said,
“love your eddie flats.” I respond, “What, wait, excuse me?”
She totally thought my Gap City Flats were her shop’s nearly $200 flats!
Umm miss, I paid $12 for these on clearance. Haha. The best, right?
Love when that happens.

Once on, these pups are remarkably identical. 

They’re super comfy and clearly look just like a designer brand for a whole heck of a lot less.
I have a bronze pair (and a bright fuchsia pair!) that I wear almost daily with my skinnies.
TAGG deal tip: While City Flats are normally $39.50 (sometimes more if printed style), you can often find various colors at least half off or buy when Gap has a 40 percent off sale.
Right now, Gap has 30 percent off full-price and 15 percent off sale online, with code: GAPLOOK.

    Don't you LOVE it when that happens!?! I was once carrying a purse that I hadn't paid a lot for (don't even remember where I bought it now) and a saleslady in the scarf department of a major department store said, "LOVE your Coach bag!" Tee-hee

    Wow, didn't know the Gap City Flats were a Tory Burch dupe! BudgetBabe actually turned me on to the City Flats! I don't wear flats that often because I have wide feet and for some reason, flats make them swell (and make them even wider) and they get pretty painful. I bought a pair of dark green ones at Gap for $10! Can't beat that! I keep them in the car for backup shoes!

    I just bought Gap city flats today after pining for the Tory Burch ones! They are remarkably similar.

    P.S. I'm currently stalking a pair of Tory Burch flats on ebay! Hope the prices doesn't go up too high!
