In terms of my current lifestyle, # 22 and #20 are my favorite/the best for me. How about you? What do you think of these shoes? Oh and the sweetest part about fast fashion? Everything here is about $30 or less. Yum yum.

Fast Fashion Eye Candy
For a foray in the opposite direction, the following is a sample of quite inexpensive shoes available online. Perfect for finding less-guilt (in)destructible frat shoes.
1. Cute - could do without the buckle - but only useful if they fit very well/are easy enough to walk in. These look like something Gap or Old Navy would make.
2. The wood looks a bit over-lacquered but otherwise I love, love, love the look of velvet or velour on shoes. This is a pretty color, but I want a pair of velvet fuschia heels/wedges/flats.
3. A bit closer to stripper chic than I'd feel comfortable with, but if you can pull it off, more power to you!
4. Sweet and simple; look comfortable, good for summer, and red/standout enough to pair with any outfit.
5. Quite derivative... don't recall of what though. Marc Jacobs? I've def seen this before, though.
6. Speaking of derivative... haha. What was this, Balenciaga? But hey, there's a reason they were so popular in the first place. These shoes are hot.
7. Simple with enough texture/snakeskin pattern to keep it from being too boring. J. Crew, anyone?
8. Let me just whip these out for a quick run from my West Village address to the bodega down the block for a pack of cigs and some turkey jerky.
9. Nice, cute. Love suede shoes. Also available in many other delicious colors. But do note that suede is NOT Dartmouth-friendly.
10. Your avg. gladiator sandal with a bit more interest. I'm rather bored of this shape though.
11. It's nice, but I'm bored of this too.
12. This looks cool...
13. I do like this too. Potentially too much going on?
14. Ditto on the coolness. Although I am wary of the caged-foot look, regardless of how popular it is now.
15. Now THIS is frat-friendly. Patent leather is easily wipe-off-able. This shoe looks like a cross between those adorable Spanish men's slip-on flat sneakers (similar to Tom toms) and any given shoe at Conway. Haha does that = Dartmouth?
16. Now here are some BOSS faux eel skin shoes. For some reason, I'm really into shoes of diff animal skins. And yes, it's as bad as it sounds. I really want a pair of stingray-skin shoes (er... eventually). The texture looks REALLY luxe.
17. Fine for work etc, unremarkable otherwise.
18. Timeless material and color, but ditto. The cut is a bit high for my liking.
19. Oh wow. I think this is toned-down stripper chic I could live with. What occasion would one wear this to, though? Maybe it's just after living at school for so long, it's hard to imagine walking around in these heels for running errands.
20. Winner winner chicken dinner. I really like the overlapping detail and how it's different than what I've seen elsewhere. I would/may actually get these.
21. Prob also good for work or errands if you like a low wedge heel? Unremarkable otherwise.
22. Also love this. Not crazy original, but I've wanted a pair of satin leopard flats for quite a while now. Perfect for this for fall!
