The other day I got to thinking: What blog about fashion and economics worth its salt would not have a Cheap Chic series of posts? Hence the first in a series of posts in which I will post about relatively inexpensive substitutes for hot ticket items.
First up: a substitute for the Lastic boot. The Christian Louboutin Lastic boot appeared in a number of Fall 2006 shows, and before Steve Madden introduced the ($179) Steven by Steve Madden "NVADE" ankle boot, there was no acceptable substitute (IMHO) for the Lastic boot on the market. I was considering purchasing the CL Lastic boot, and while I am currently on the waiting list for a pair, the $645 price tag would mean foregoing a pair of Lanvin flats or a pair of black patent leather Chloe platform slingbacks I have been eyeing. Also, if you consider the purchase of a pair of Lastic boots in economic terms, for an additional $466 you are getting better quality shoes (they'll last longer than the Steven's--trust me, shoes in the $200 range wear out quickly) and the red sole (for those of you who don't know, red sole = Christian Louboutin). I am a student and do not have the sort of budget to be paying $466 for better quality and red soles while still obtaining my optimal product bundle (perhaps a post on the budget constraint is in order?), so I will probably be opting for the substitute in this case.
LEFT: Steven by Steve Madden "NVADE" ankle boot, $179. Pre-order them here.
RIGHT: Christian Louboutin Lastic boot, $645.
Ankle boots are a big trend for Fall 2006, and the Lastic boot is my pick for ankle boots for the season. If you'd like to pictures of the Lastic boot on the Fall runways, or if you're wondering how to wear them, click here to see an earlier post devoted to the Lastic boot.
Also, I'm in the process of writing a post about knockoffs--so if this post rubs you the wrong way, sit tight!
