Ogle or Own: Ankle boots

August 17, 2012

Happy Friday! This ogle or own is a long time coming. These “own” booties have been on my “need list” for ages now — validated after I saw Dianna of The Budget Babe tweet and Instagram on multiple occasions — and now with Fall officially on the horizon, they’re the perfect transitional shoe. Pair them with your floral skirts and dresses to hold on to the last day of summer, or pair them with skinnies as you make the transition to Fall. Yeek, I’m so excited! {and, yes, I recognize I live in Florida and it won’t go below 80 until November, but hey, a girl can still like to play dress up!}

Why pair $158 for these Sam Edelman’s (which undoubtedly are pretty sweet) when you can own a similar, bit more rugged, broken-in pair for under $30 (and Dianna swears by their high comfort factor!). I try them on in the store nearly every time I’m there — embarrassing truth — and it’s about time I make this happen.

    Old Navy has great (and inexpensive) booties as well. I bought a pair last year that I didn’t wear much but I am ready to rock them this time around!

    So I just saw these in Target, bought them and brought them home and then decided they didn’t look right with anything! I think it has something to do with where they hit me at the ankle and how loose they are? Bummed because I really need a pair of booties like this for fall!

    pretty cute! as long as they are comfortable, it’s worth it! I believe in good shoes, but inexpensive is never a bad thing if the shoe is well made and comfy.

    I”m all about ankle boots – I have a tan pair from DSW that are 3 years old and perfectly broken in. I also picked up a studded pair from Zara that closely resemble the $2000 Chloe ones – DIE.

    ShoeMint seems to have a great selection of booties as well. Here’s hoping this trend sticks around for a while…

    I have the booties from Target and the best part – they’re real suede! They are super comfortable, well worth the $30.

    I think I like the ones by Target better…but that may just be me. The nude color is my fave!
