I dream of this beautiful Lanvin shoe. It’s so pretty, and the textures and details make it feel so bohemian. But I just can’t afford it. $1,320 at Barney’s
So I thought about what I love about it. Do I want a more bohemian heel? Something textured and leather? What about this Elizabeth and James shoe? $425 at Shopbop
Still, I run around the city all day. What I want (bohemian, textured, interesting, but polished) could marry what I need (a comfortable flat sandal that I can walk blocks in) in this shoe from Nine West, which is only $130:
Dilemma solved!
