Save Vs. Splurge: Saint Laurent Glitter Finished Leather Pumps

1. Saint Laurent ‘Babies’ Mary Jane shoes, £577.67, Farfetch 2. Topshop Jazz glitter mid shoes, £45, Topshop

There’s no denying that Saint Laurent‘s glitter Mary Janes massively appeal to our inner magpies. Rendered in super sparkling silver (they’re available in gold and cherry red, too, FYI), the low block heeled, buckled beauties are a sure-fire way to inject a serious dose of fabulous into your wardrobe.

We love how they riff on the classic school-style T-bar shoe, lending them a girlish charm, too. And, while their £600 price tag is hardly frugal, we will attempt to justify them with the following: just imagine how much of an impact they’ll lend to every outfit you own. Skinny jeans and Breton top? Crisp shirt and shift? A-line mini? Tailored trousers and a boy shirt? Leather pants and a slouchy sweater? Yes, yes, and yes!

But if that’s simply not enough to rationalise their purchase, we’ll let you into a secret: Topshop has a very similar pair that’ll make for an especially savvy purchase.

Featuring that familiar low block heel and dainty T-bar strap, plus all that sparkling silver glitter, they’re a great way to achieve the look on a more accessible budget at £45.

Some sparkle a day keeps the fashion doctor at bay – isn’t that what they say?
