For a year now I have been on a desperate search for a pair of shoes that are close to looking like the coveted YSL tribute t-strap sandal. I am so in love with them, but the $700+ price tag is a bit high for me. Please help!!!!! —Desperately Seeking YSL



The YSL Tribute Sandal ($850 at Nordstrom.com) continues its reign as one of fashion's most coveted shoe styles. Here's the best budget-friendly look-a-like on the market today:



"Lianca" by JustFab Sandal in Wine, $49.95 at heels.com

Kate Spade's petite bow stud earrings in a pretty pastel hue are perfect for spring, and cost $48. You can find a similar look for just $4.80 elsewhere. See if you can spot the real from the steal by clicking either image below!

These DV by Dolce Vita "Archer" flat sandals are $69 at Dillard's, available in 4 color combos. I'm sure you'd get a lot of wear out of these, and the pop of neon is so fresh.



Get the look for less with the Mossimo "Falk" flat sandal, just $19.99 at Target.com. The "Falk" is also available in multiple color combos, and I've got my eye on this striped pair.

This type of blatant "copying" happens every season, which leads me to believe Dolce Vita and Target have an ongoing "understanding."

Which pair would you wear?

These RED Valentino peep-toe slingback bow pumps are $475 at Neiman Marcus.

The Tory Burch double wrap leather logo bracelet is $95 at shopbop.com. It comes in lots of colors and never really goes out of style. I have a similar style bracelet from Stella & Dot that I wear all the time; the leather makes it comfortable and the style goes with everything, day or night.

Get the look for less at Gap stores with their take on the double wrap bracelet. I don't remember the exact price but I'm pretty sure these were under $20 and come in fun spring colors like mint green, too. Check your nearest Gap store counter for these as I wasn't able to find them online.
