Okay here’s the thing about buying expensive designer shoes. Inevitably, you’re going to wear them (duh), and when you wear them, you’re going to be out in the world, exposed to the elements, and exposed to other people and their unexpected spills. For those reasons alone, you might keep your designer footwear in their original boxes pushed deep into the back of your closet, never to see the light of day. But shoes are meant to be worn people! That’s why I like to pick up a few dupes for solid shoe designs that are so gorgeous but so expensive that I’m too afraid of ruining them to actually enjoy wearing them.

Take Manolo Blahnik, for example. The stunning pointed heel design made famous by Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City is pretty much everyone’s bucket list shoe. The buckle over the top is stunning, the heel is just the right size (not too short and not too high), and the satin fabric looks like a piece of literal heaven. The only thing is, if you’re going to wear this shoe on a special occasion like a wedding or graduation or anything, you’re going to be around people giving toasts with their beverages sloshing around. Can you think of anything worse than spending over $1,000 on a pair of shoes only to have them stained an hour after you put them on?

Before I work myself into a total panic here, let me just say that I’ve found the perfect special occasion Manolo Blahnik dupes at Target. These even have the crystal buckle! And they’re here to save you from having to have total anxiety about your footwear throughout the night.

A New Day Annette Slingback Heels – Denim
Ahhh!! How stunning are these? They’re available in sizes 5-10 with half-sizes included! They have a stunning crystal buckle over the toe, and they’re made in a slingback style, so your foot won’t be sliding out of it all night long.

Oh, and did I mention they’re just $30? If you watched Sex and the City, you remember that Carrie paid $400 for her designer kicks, but nowadays, that price is more like $800. So $30 is pretty much unheard of. Reviewers are already swooning, and say the heel height is soooo comfortable.

A New Day Annette Slingback Heels – Silver
The style is also available in silver, but without the crystal buckle. I love these silver stunners to pair with a flare denim jean, or even an all black look with a dress and tights. Why not pick up both this pair and the denim style, since together, they’ll only run you $60?

Pick up this pair now and be on the lookout for our next Target dupe spotting.
