And then there's these guys...

Very lately, my shoe cravings have been of the shootie persuasion (i.e. shoe-booties), and for warmer weather styles, designers look to lighten up the heavier, more enveloping and protective winter styles of close-toed, strapped-in, all-weather-wear boot badassery. This Spring, that means mesh paneling and cut-outs in the form of peep toes and slingbacks. But that doesn't mean that any of the drama of the winter styles has been lost.
To the contrary, that first set of booties up top packs quite the kick-ass punch, and while the bcbg booties aren't a total steal at $275, they still give the $500 price tag of those B Brian Atwoods a run for its money. And while the second set is a bit more delicate in its delivery, the statement is just as fierce (Danielle of WeWoreWhat demonstrates this expertly). Those Nicholas Kirkwoods are supple and cinderella-like, but they're still statement-makers nonetheless, and while they're definitely un-duplicable (make no mistake about it), the cheapies from Forever 21 actually do a pretty great job of capturing some of those key elements at a much, MUCH lower price range. Long story short: I want all of these.
