christian siriano for payless is affordably chic for the spring semester “on campus” look. i love the lanvin like cap toe sole and zipper detail along the surface of the shoe. the design on the insoles also add above and beyond quality to the sneakers for just 19.99 per pair.

a reader hit me up last week on twitter challenging me to pull a cute “affordable” shoe or sneaker and post it here art nouveau. i have decided to add a “chic for cheap” segment to the blog for those who are looking for shoes that are cute yet under $100. by no means do i exclude the existence of cute shoes for a reasonable price but a woman should never settle for any cheap shoe. some women like to run with the idea of “a woman can never have too many shoes” then end up with a large pile of kitten heels and ran over gym sneakers lacking quality. sometimes you have to decrease the quantity in order to increase the quality with that idea as well.
