Cheap or Chic Challenge: Marc by Marc Jacobs vs Aldo

cheap-vs-chic.jpgToday's cheap or chic challenge is not a difficult one to guess, but it is interesting to see an original style turn instantly generic in its high street incarnation. One of these styles is a Marc Jacobs original costing £450, the other is a strangely familiar £70 shoe from Aldo.

Looking these two pairs so close together does help you to appreciate the extra work that goes into the designer style, and it's reassuring for those who fork out the extra cash to see how strongly the quality shows through. But if you think this is a style for one season only, it's good to know you can capture it at a fraction of the cost.

Read on over the jump if you haven't figured out which is which!

The shoe in the left is the real deal: Marc by Marc Jacobs' peep-toe leather sandals are the ones with the contrasting white laces and the smaller heel. They can be purchased here.

On the right is the budget version from Aldo: Shrewsberry cost £70 and are a good way to get the look for less.
