Crave or Save

March 19th, 2013

It’s been a while since I last did a ‘Crave or Save’ post, so I decided to bring it back on a weekly basis, starting with Rag & Bone’s Harrow booties and a similar pair from Steve MaddenI practically live in my VPL boots (seen here, here, and here), so I understand the importance of a great neutral bootie. It has to go with everything, with little details to make them stand out and just a slight heel. Since mine have become frighteningly worn-in, I realize the importance of diversifying my options. These Rag & Bones are fantastic, but for a fraction of the price, the Steve Madden booties are a great alternative.

    The Steve Maddens are great…but I obviously prefer the more expensive ;)

    Check out the “Dolce Vita Java Ankle Boot.” They look similar to the Rag & Bone pair, and a much better looking knockoff than the Steve Madden’s featured here.

    Oh my word – both of them are amazing! I would go for either!

    Although, I don’t care for the Steve Madden version of this bootie, I appreciate the “Crave or Save” posts. Somethings are worth the splurge, or rather, investment…but other times…not so much. I really enjoy these posts, please keep it up!!!

    I say Rag & Bone. Like the color more on those.

    I actually like the Steve Madden’s booties more than the Rag & Bone’s so there’s my opinion ;)

    I like the idea of a crave of save post – fun! On this one, you’ve got to go for it with the Harrows. Number one, cheap shoes are the WORST – buy cheap t-shirts, find thrifty jeans that fit well, but don’t ever skimp on leather things – this means most bags and shoes. Ever. Number two, I have these boots (the R&B ones) and they rock. Cheers.
