There has been a lot of talk on the internet this week about the cost of fashion blogging. As someone who doesn’t have steady income, I could relate to some of the points made. So I had this idea to launch a weekly Saturday feature called Cheap & Chic, where cute items/outfits will be highlighted that won’t break the bank! For the very first installment, we have my favorite subject: shoes!

I’m very much so a lover of shoes. I have them stashed everywhere in my house as well as some stashed away at my parent’s house. There is nothing better than scoring a super cute pair for a super low price so I’m always searching for a good bargain. I tend to splurge on my fall/winter shoes and boots so when it comes to Springtime casual flats and such, I try to somewhat stick to a budget.

My current favorite site to buy cheap and chic shoes from is Urban Originals. They have tons of shoes and most, if not all, are under $40! The top lace booties and the bottom left heels are both from Urban Originals and I got them both for under $45 shipped! They carry everything from booties to pumps to wedges to flats, so there’s something for everyone!

The other two pairs were both steals too! The studded cowboy boots were a $25 score from Burlington and the mesh cut-out booties are from Evans and were $35! These were my first pair of heels from Evans and seriously, they are the comfiest pair of heels I own. They have extra padded soles so it really does feel like you’re wearing flats. I randomly decided to run and jump around outside in them to test them out and it was a success! No bruises, scrapes, or blood!

Where do you find your cheap and chic shoes? What is your best cheap and chic shoe purchase? Let me know!
