The Look for Less: Christian Louboutin Babel Boots



Christian Louboutin at ShopStyle


In this earlier post, many of you were none too impressed with the Fair Isle sweater look, but you were definitely drooling over Hilary Duff's red-soled boots, namely, her Christian Louboutin Babel boots, $1,465 at Net-a-Porter.com.



Old Navy at ShopStyle


Ok. I'm not saying Old Navy even comes close to Louboutin in terms of fabulosity, but these stylish black boots are a reasonable alternative, are they not? They're available in camel or black and cost $50 at OldNavy.com.

And if you're willing to spend a bit more to get this look, here are some more options:
