steve madden, Aldo, and Ninewest can usually be counted on to come through for us bargain girls.

Chloe- $670.00

Charles Albert- $29.50

That's a blatant knockoff! I'm surprised at Alloy; they usually don't copy so much. Anyway, thanks for reviving this thread. I'll make an attempt at finding more alternatives.
