Remember those lovely J.Crew Camden brogues in blush pink that we will NEVER EVER have not only because it's a whopping $250 but because the blush pink color is also sold out? Well, look what I found at the Payless website...
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see an affordable Alice + Olivia alternative! I'm a HUGE J.Crew fan but since I don't have tons of cash just lying around (How I wish I did though!), I have to be smart! And Payless was definitely the way to go!
I ordered the shoes a couple of weeks ago and of course, I had the shoes delivered to the nearest location so that I can save on shipping (Remember, $6 saved on shipping is $6 that will be going to a new pair of shoes!) And today was the day. I went to the mall to pick up the pink loveliness that was waiting to go home.
The Alice + Olivia Payless version is very comfortable. They are also a nice pale shade of pink. The bottoms are quite different though, it being rubber but it's no biggie. I have to get used to the lace-less thing though. It kind of looks semi-naked, you know? I mean, the whole lace-up thing is what got me hooked on jazz shoes in the first place so not having laces kind of confuses my brain. I might get laces for these pink lovelies but for $24 (I used a coupon), I'm definitely not complaining!

They look so cute! ^__^ Good find. :)
I agree, they do look naked without laces, but the pattern at the toe's adorable.
Thanks for comments and for following, btw, will be following this cool blog too. (See what I did there? *I'm so lame*)
Love the shoes!!!! I am the same way when it comes to getting free shipping when I can.

ps - now following you too!!!!
You hit the freaking jackpot on those shoes!! I was just gazing at the J.Crew one's this afternoon and it's a no can-do in walletville. You've put a spring back into my step! yahoo!
I think they look great on you sans laces!!
Those shoes are so drool-worthy! :)
I acctually like them lace-less. I think with the less typical color it doesn't look like you took the laces out - like they are suposed to look like that. Triple love the color!
Not available here i guess but ilovethem. XX

Nice! I like Alice + Olivia a lot better than J.Crew anyway :)
I like the non-lace ones, actually! They look comfy.
love them in pink
SO FREAKING CUTE!!! What a score. :)
They are so sweet! Although I agree about them looking naked: I'd thread some chiffon ribbon through them.

OK, I am not a brogue fan. But that Alice + Olivia pair for that price? I may have to take a peekers ...
Love those Alice and Olivia's! I contemplated buying them a while back, but didn't. I wish i had seen this review before.
