The Look for Less: Steve Madden 'Dynemite' Platform Sandals

Steve Madden's aptly named "Dynemite" platform sandals come in a range of delicious colors for spring, including lavender, coral, mint and taupe. Lots of stores carry them so shop around for the best price. The purple ones below are now $69.99 (down from $110) at Piperlime.com.







Get the look for less with Candie's peep-toe platform heels. If there's a difference, I can't see it! Available in purple, lavender or coral, these beauties are actually on sale at Kohl's for just $24.99.



Megan from The Frugalista Diaries has rocked these heels on more than one occasion with flowy dresses as well as tailored pants. Love her style!
