Ask BB: Penny Loafer Pumps for Less

I just wanted to ask for budget-friendly penny loafer heels. I am loving the trend but not the $200-$400 price tag associated with many of them! —Jen

You're not alone, the penny loafer pump is definitely on many peoples' must-have list for fall. This feminine menswear inspired shoe is great for work and play and works well with skirts, dresses and pants. No wonder everyone wants in on this trend!

Here are some affordable options, I'll update this post with more as they become available. Please share your picks in the comments.

1. Nine West "Abalene", $89, five colors available



Ask BB: Ash 'Paradise' Boot for Less

I've been browsing the web for boots similar to these "Paradise" wedge booties by Ash ($290, shopbop.com). I love these and if you can find a cheaper alternative with your internet superpowers I will be extremely grateful! —E



Gosh these are great, it's the Western boot gone wedge! I love the Ash boot's sleek profile and covered heel, but it's a silhouette that's hard to imitate. However I did find a few options that might work for you.

First up, from Nine West we have the "Peekaboo" ($129, piperlime.com). In genuine leather with a slightly less pointy toe, it's a respectable look for less.
