Mules: Three Ways

I have always been sucker for ballet flats. Ever since I was a little girl. But now that I am in the real world I found a new love that might just replace my age-old ballet flat obsession. Mules. Y’all, these shoes are life changing. Somewhere in between a flat and a loafer, these shoes exist and have made me step up my wardrobe hardcore.

Mules go with every type of outfit, regardless of your work dress code and are so comfortable if your job involves a lot of walking around the office, like mine does. So, I have searched out THREE different options at various price points so you can look great at any budget.

The original that the dupes are based off are these Gucci mules which retail in the high $600s. I don’t know about y’all but that is WAYYY out of my price range, so the next two options are ones I could easily splurge a bit on or save on. The next mules down a price point are from Sam Edelman. These $120 mules look astonishingly like the mules from Gucci, but over $500 less. I have a pair of these and I love them. Super comfy and easy to walk in. These do fit a bit wide, but that works for my fat feet! The next dupe down is the Amazon dupe. These mules are $33, with the same style as its more expensive counterparts.

LV Dupe

Since I was young, I have always had a taste more expensive than my bank account. Anyone with me?! So when I was searching around for a cute wallet to replace my old faded one from college, I came across this beauty on Amazon (the kingpin for all things dupe). This wallet looks nearly IDENTICAL to Louis Vuitton’s version of it. I like the checked pattern and the white/grey look. The Amazon site also has it in the classic brown and black checks (which I also own). These dupe wallets are made well and have all the classic fixtures of a more expensive brand. I use this wallet for around the town and even as a small clutch when needed.

If the larger style isn’t for you, I recommend the smaller coin purse style. I have that style in brown/black, which I originally got to put in my clear bag for football season (stadium rules, ugh). But I ended up loving it and use it on a daily basis.
