Steven by Steve Madden Ruched-Satin Pump
These ruched-satin pumps are so pretty, and a great evening choice. I really love all the colors, especially the purple and the red, but the black and nude are great classic choices. I’d wear any of these colors with simple short or long sheath dresses. For a funkier look, you could pair them with tights.

For me, at least, that means fewer splurges on $700+ shoes and supplementing my wardrobe with less expensive, yet fashionable choices. That’s why I’m so excited when I find shoes I love that don’t cost an arm and a leg! Lately I’ve really loved (and coveted) some of the new Steve Madden styles. Here are some of my favorites!

I’ve been stalking the web ever since I saw these shoes available on the Steve Madden website. Unfortunately I can’t find them in my size! So frustrating! I may have to try to squeeze in a size 10. Anyway, I adore these pumps! They are uber sexy, and the purple snakeskin leather is divine! You are going to look like a million books in these babies.

If you are on a budget, one of the best ways to prioritize your shoe funds is to splurge on the basics, but spend less on trends that may not still be popular next year. Purple is one of those trends. It is super hot for fall, but it could easily fall to the wayside by next year. However, you can wear a basic Christian Louboutin black pump for years to come. I’ve found some cute purple shoes that will keep you trendy, but won’t break the bank!
