I follow a former Nordstrom stylist on Instagram  - her name is Susie Wright (@susie.wright) and I LOVE her style and content.  In early Spring, I noticed that she had made a few posts wearing a pair of sandals that had transparent straps and they really caught my eye for being the perfect neutral/nude.  In April, she graciously provided shopping links, for not one, but three slightly different transparent heels in a post she wrote about neutral style shoes.  All three were about $128, more than I wanted to pay when I wasn’t sure if I would like or wear them.

Here is a photo of the pair that caught my eye:

A few weeks went by and I saw a very similar pair on Target.com and the price was right!  

Here is the target pair that I found for $34.99.  I prefer a block heel over a stiletto heel for more comfort.

While shopping on the Target website, I also saw a pair of slides that were like a Steve Madden pair I had saw recommended as a Hermes Oran dupe.  While the Target pair does have a very different design, the cognac color was the same and I loved the braided detail on the top of the Target style, not to mention the price!

Here are the Hermes Oran slides that I have seen all over the internet: 

Here is the pair of slides that I found at Target for $24.99.  In some ways, I like them better than the Hermes Oran slide.

I snagged both pair!  Target will frequently offer shoes at buy one, get one ½ off so I utilized this sale in addition to receiving free shipping from Target when using my Red Card.

I can’t live without sneakers, so I could basically wear sneakers and these two pair of sandals with all my summer outfits – they really are so versatile!

Are you like me, and basically build your outfits around your shoes? If so, you will love these sandals as well!  As of today, both shoes are still available at Target and they are on sale, 30% off!
