Buy this not that: Patent pumps

Of course I would love to have a pair (or two, or ten) of Brian Atwood shoes in my closet. Who wouldn't, right? But since one pair of his shoes cost more than the shoe organizer that they would retire to between wears, me thinks this is just traumatizingly sadly not possible.

But no worries! Lucky for me Charlotte Russe never lets me down with their shoe selection. So clearly I was not surprised to find a pair of their shoes oddly similar to these gorgeous Brian Atwoods. But of course they are like a smidgen of the cost. 

Yep, you're welcome.
