I love steal vs. splurge posts! They get me all excited! It’s like that feeling when someone compliments you on your new top and you can’t wait to tell them what a deal it was! Well, have I got two really great steals for you guys today! First up, remember this top that I posted on Wednesday to showcase the new really hot off the shoulder trend? Well, just in case you were on the fence, this splurge vs. steal makes it all the more tempting.

Besides the obvious styling differences, I really can’t tell the difference. Plus, it’s over a $200 price difference!

Then I found a really great steal version of my new Pedro Garcia sandals. 
They are similar in height and vamp to the Pedro Garcia splurge pair. They still give you height, but because the vamp isn’t too steep, your feet won’t cramp -ha! They even have the same fun rubber sole!
Now, if you are looking for a great spring/summer sandal with a little more height, I love these! Bonus: they’re both sturdy. Ha!
Thank you so much, Carly! Off to order the steal shoes now!! 🙂
YAY! You are so welcome!
These are fantastic! I loved the Pedro Garcia’s when you posted them last week but the steal is so much more doable! Thanks for posting!
Hi! Yah, the Pedro’s were a serious “investment”.
I love the steal top above. I saw it on a mannequin and just had to try it on. The length was a little overwhelming, so I opted for this one instead. A good option if you like eyelet. 🙂

So cute!! Thank you!
Got mine ( steal shoes!) Thanks Carly!
Yay! You are welcome!
Love this blog….I have another steal or splurge…..
I was in target this morning and saw the army jacket for 29$ Vs Nordstoms $118
This jacket also came in the grayish color too
I needed up getting the army vest because Georgia it HOT already!!
Thanks for all the tips!!
The off shoulder really tricked me.. I thought it was the opposite.
Awesome blog and loved this kind of post. Thanks for showing those opportunities, Carly!
Great post. I might even like the Steve Madden pair of sandals better than the Pedro Garcia, I love the contrasting white sole! I haven’t ever bought a Pedro Garcia shoe…are they really comfortable…is that what drives the price point?
I like the contrasting white sole, too! Yes, they are extremely comfortable and really great quality.
Hi Carly! Hello from Chicago! Just wanted to share that Old Navy has an adorable off the shoulder black flowy top with short flowy sleeves that I love. I sized down and ordered the tall for a little extra length. It is the perfect top to hide a little mommy pouch but still look a little sexy. =) I love your blog and candidness. Hugs!
I just found it (http://bit.ly/228IEA6)! This is such a great find! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this post! I ordered the steals and they are awesome. So comfy and chic right out the gate. These will be my go to sandal this summer. Please do posts like these more often. I love your easy going yet classic style.
