The Look for Less: Steve Madden 'Bethanyy' Sandals

These Steve Madden "Bethanyy" ankle-cuff sandals are just $39.99 (down from $60) at Piperlime.com and come in a a bunch of great colors like coral, silver and aqua, as well as the versatile tan shown here. Wear them with shorts, skirts and summer dresses.



You could get the look for a few dollars less with these Mossimo "Black Pearl" sandals, which are $24.99, but unless you are opposed to wearing leather, I'd definitely opt for the Steve Maddens. Chances are, they'll last longer and be more comfortable - totally worth paying a tiny bit more.

The Look for Less: Cambridge Flouro Satchel

The Cambridge Satchel Fluoro Satchel in green, orange or pink is $155 at Shopbop.com.



For a little less, you can pick up this Steven by Steve Madden neon satchel in green, orange, pink, or fuchsia for $78.



I'd take either but right now I'm content to carry my Old Navy mini-messenger in neon yellow (sold out) which cost a whopping $13. That punch of color works surprisingly well with just about every outfit.
