Would You Rather: One Designer Handbag or Three Pairs of Designer Shoes For The Same Price?

Life is all about hard decisions. Like this one: if faced with the option to spend $1,250 on a beautiful purple suede Mulberry hobo bag or take that money and get three new pairs of designer shoes, what would you do?

Which would you rather?

    It would depend on the purse/shoes in question, but in this case I would rather the shoes. I always find myself lacking in really distinctive, statement-piece shoes and these 3 are great. The MJ boots are awesome for legging/sweater dress chic, the red Valentino sandals a go-to vavavoom addition for any cocktail dress, and the Zanotti pumps have just the right amount of attitude with the blue heel and the zipper details to give a urban punch to any all-black outfit.

    Without question, the three pairs of shoes….the mulberry bag is beautiful, but who can beat designer boots, sandals and pumps? Three different looks that can be worn over and over again as opposed to a bag that will always look the same no matter what you pair it with….just my opinion….

    Three pairs of shoes everytime, that is because I rent my handbags from Voulue.I save myself a lot of money and still look stylish.

    I would most definitely go for the three pairs of shoes. Mainly because I’m a shoe gal but I also love variety. I have more options with the three pairs of shoes than with one bag.
