Hey hey fashion-forward beauties! Thank you for coming back to Allison in Wonderland today for a brand new fashion post. A few weeks ago, I went to the mall on a hunt for some cute (and comfy) slides (or mules). I wasn’t exactly sure what I was looking for as far as color but I knew the style I had in mind and I just went to town. I must have gone into every shoe store in the mall and I felt so bad for sending the nice employees to the back again and again for different sizes and styles! My trip to the mall was a success though because I ended up coming home with a purchase I considered to be an absolute steal!
If you’re familiar with the black and gold Gucci slides that have been all over fashion bloggers Instagram accounts, then you know how crazy expensive they are. If you aren’t familiar with them, here’s a link to their website and be prepared to have a heart attack when you look at the price. Since I’m a price-conscious college student, buying the Gucci pair of slides is 100% out of my price range, so when I saw these Steve Madden dupes at Nordstrom, I went over to them immediately.
Starting off with how the Steve Madden pair looks, they’re almost identical to the Gucci pair! I’m sure the material the shoes are made with are much, much different, but as far as looks, they’re pretty much the same. I love how they’re super flattering and slimming for your foot and it’s nice that they’re black because they’ll match almost everything! I’m also a gold jewelry person, so they’ll always match whatever I decide to accessorize with. Moving on to how they feel, they feel wonderful! I was a little bit worried they would slide right off my foot when I walked around but they stay on perfectly. I can’t comment on how the Gucci pair compares feel-wise because my feet have never been anywhere near shoes that expensive, but I’m sure those feel wonderful as well.
Overall, I’d give Steve Madden a 10/10 on this one! I understand that the Steve Madden pair is nowhere near the quality of the Gucci pair, but I’d much rather have the cheaper pair of shoes and $600 dollars in my pocket than the expensive pair, especially because of how similar they look. If you enjoyed this post, please feel free to comment down below if you’d like to see other style dupe posts – I have a few in mind already! Thanks for coming by and I’ll see you next week!
OMG!!! Thanks for the great tip!!!
