Splurge or Save: Isabel Marant vs. Charlotte Russe

I may have gone a little shoe-crazy on Thursday night, adding a different pair to my "shopping cart" every two seconds on Charlotte Russe's website. What can I say? BOGO, $15 off order, plus free shipping gets me every time... or perhaps homework stresses me out and makes me want to spend money. Anywho-- last year when I saw Shea Marie wearing these Isabel Marant heels, I was obsessed, but I knew I couldn't afford the price tag. Whomp, whomppp.

 With much excitement, I saw these on Charlotte's site and think they're a great alternative at a much more affordable price! The heel is a little bit taller than the Isabel Marant pair but whatevs, still totally adorable. Not a fan of the heel? There's also this option which is pretty similar. This option appears to have the closest heel height as the Isabel Marant's but has a few differences.

Isabel Marant
1 | 2

Charlotte Russe
1 | 2 | 3 | 4

All of these make for a perfect summer sandal, it's just hard to decide which color and which heel height! I bought the taller heel in "tan" and the medium heel in "taupe" [which I immediately regretted and wanted to switch to "black" but it was too late]. At the time, the flat sandals weren't on the website but now I want them, too...in both colors... eyeyeye... by the way, Charlotte Russe is offering buy one get one for $15 today!

What would you do? 
Splurge or save?

  4. I'd say saving $700 is definitely a much better alternative. ;) Great find!

  7. Can't beat the Isabel Marant sandals but if they are out of your price range these have a very similar look.
