Splurge vs. Steal: Flat Thong Sandals

Ah! Summer is fast approaching and all I can think of wearing are dresses paired with open toed flat sandals. Nothing beats the simplicity of these flat thong sandals modernized with a higher strap position. Sigerson Morrison offers the cream of the crop in grainy black, silver and gold metallic leather for $225.

These ‘Flip-1′ Sandals by DV by Dolce Vita are a budget option minus the stitching around the footbed. Also comes in black patent, white patent, lime fish and cherry fish. They were $64.95 and are now $49.90 at Nordstrom
. ShopIntuition also carries them in yellow and light blue patent for $62.

We can always count on good ole Steve Madden to come out with a copycat version. This style called ‘Snaap‘ delivers at $49.95 and also comes in red patent, black patent, yellow patent, gold, silver, green leather, and brown leather.
This reminds me: It’s time for weekly pedicures!

The DV thongs are a great buy. I’m seriously tempted to jump on this deal.
I just wish the weather would warm up quicker in LA. I’m dying to wear my new sandals.

I love the Sigerson Morrison thongs, but they are just too expensive. For an even better deal than the Steve Madden ones, go to Urban Outfitters and snatch up a pair of these look-a-likes for only $24!
