it's official, mama needs new boots. i have loved my
intyce riding boots from
steve madden for the past 2 winters. but yesterday my left foot sprung a leak ... a crack completely across the sole. very unfortunate considering it was a typical rainy winter day in nashville.
when i walked into work this morning - i was determined to shop during my lunch break for a new pair of boots. so of course i noticed tiffany in publishing sporting an awesome pair of boots. "figures," i thought to myself, "tiff has a pair of fryes." ...
correction: tif has a pair of mossimo's from target 2 years ago that look EXACTLY like fryes. now we're talking.
the boot to be exact is the
mossimo supply co. katherine engineer boot. apparently this boot sold out immediately after released in late 2009. now they've restocked for online purchase only. it's remarkably similar in style to the
frye harness 12r boot - and, unlike most knockoffs, made of genuine leather.
{ the look } { the less }
and this isn't target's only knockoff ...
i've always had my eye on the melissa button boot from frye. w+i have a friend that owns a pair in each color they carry. (speaking of colors ... i'm slightly green w/ envy!) so what do you think of this similar but much cheaper option? the
kasia boot from merona. also made of genuine leather and available online only.
{ the look } { the less }
okay so i might have ordered a pair of each. i've seen the 1st boot - and it's spot on. and i can easily return the 2nd pair if they don't meet my expectations. and right now when you spend more than $50 @ target ... the shipping is on them. plus it's buy 1, get 1 50% off. goodbye, december clothes money (yes, i'm aware it's november).
so your turn: have you found a knockoff that you're proud to share? please do!
