The Look for Less: Tory Burch Wedge Lace Up Espadrille



Tory Burch at ShopStyle


Tory Burch's Wedge Lace Up Espadrilles are $225 at toryburch.com. I'd call them lace-up peep-toe booties, but that's just me. Also come in olive or tan. Loving the edge, Tory!


The alternative: Steven by Steve Madden's 'Wyndi' Wedge Sandal is $138.95 at nordstrom.com. Why they charge so much for inspired-by designs is beyond me, but this is a great looking shoe that will save you some cash nonetheless!
