Dress for Less: Givenchy Woven Leather Wedges

Last weekend when I got home from my crazy shopping spree I realized that the tan wedges I got were very reminiscent of the amazing Givenchy wedges that have been on my Wish List on net-a-porter for ages (I have so much stuff on that wish list that I know I'll never be able to afford, I just like to look at them, ha ha.)  So that made me think I should do a Lust, Love, Less version of Dress for Less since I haven't in a while. That was easier said than done, but I think I found another okay match, its not nearly as good as the Crown Vintage ones but it has the same feel.  Enjoy!
Givenchy - $1190
KEY Té - $190
Crown Vintage - $59.95

    I've been lusting over the very same wedges, and found some similar to them at Target, the Dolce Vita line there! Check em out!

    Hm...they just can't compare to the Givenchys. Givenchy is so sleek and the straps and nice and thin. The others just look chunky.

    I also saw a similar pair at Nine West (but in a slightly lighter color). I really like this style, and I'm looking to get a pair for summer.
