I love espadrilles. They are chic, timeless, and comfortable (for the most part). They are everywhere this spring. There is a Prada pair at Saks that I am totally coveting. The unfortunate part is the $450 price tag (I'd buy 'em, I'd just feel guilty everytime I looked at my son in his he-capris because of his growth spurt) and the fact that it says "Prada" on the bow. From my
rant last month, you probably know my aversion for labels/logo on my clothing. Not to mention that J. doesn't miss much and Lucy would have some serious 'splainin' to do to Ricky if he noticed the P-word. Along the same lines of my JC Penney lamps, I have a solution I can live with!

Prada Love-$450 smackers
EXHIBIT "B"
This Apepazza "Tahiti" espadrille is very close to the Prada one I am lusting after. It even has cute little studs on the bow! It doesn't have the height of the Prada one, but my feet will probably thank me. How do I plan on getting these for free you ask? My
Daddy Father has it at his store! Yesterday I asked him if I could have a pair. His response was, "Sure, pack up my grandchildren and come on down and pick them up"! Okay, so maybe they aren't free but the $120 in gas it will take me to get to his house sure beats the $450 Saks wants! What do you think? Are they close enough?
