One of the many things that I have noticed during my various shopping experiences was that a lot of brands grab inspiration from designers and create their own pieces based on their designs. One of my favorite inspirational pieces thus far are the Charlotte Russe Studded Strappy Pointed-toe Pumps. I was completely blown away by how similar these pumps were to the Valentino Rockstud Pumps.

| Valentino $995-$1,095 |
Above is the Valentino Rockstud Pump. Its retail value can range all the way up to $2,000!
Here are the Charlotte Russe studded pumps. These beauties only cost me $20! I could not believe my eyes when I saw them because of their resemblance to the Valentino Rockstud pumps so I bought myself two other pairs!
I bought some yellow ones...

These shoes are amazing with dresses, skirts, and jeans! They are perfect for a designer look without the cost. Buying the Charlotte Russe shoes retails for a 98% savings! Yeah they may not be the same quality as the Valentino shoes but if you can get the same look for a 98% savings, go for it!
Happy shopping!
