Frugal & Fabulous

I cannot explain my elation when I discovered that Target so cleverly copied a few of Steve Madden's looks for fall. The Daynty clog and Texxedo oxfords were on my wish list of purchases for the upcoming season. I now plan on saving more than 50% by buying at Target, although I still have a few more pairs I would like from Steve Madden.


1. Steve Madden Daynty $89.95
2. Target Thaddea $19.99
3. Steve Madden Tuxxedo $79.95
4. Target Taree $19.99


What do you think, splurge or save?

    Thank you for leaving me comment! I would love for you to follow me too. Let's cheer each other on!

    I'd say get the Target clogs! It looks as good as the Steve Madden one.

    I love both of the SM versions, but for such trendy pieces, you can't go wrong with the Target versions!

    Those are trendy shoes so I'd just go for the Target pairs. They are pretty good knock offs.

    Love this! Just makes me sad because so many try to rip off Steve Madden looks, it's almost expected.
    In terms of the mules, I would def save - but those Madden tuxedos are definitely a splurge :)

    Great post!
