I haven’t done one of these HI/LO posts in a while and I think they’re such fun!
Inspired by one of my favorite features in the now-defunct Metropolitan Home magazine, HI/LO pits a contemporary fashion favorite against a vintage version and YOU have to guess which one is which.
Today’s hotseat features Valentino black patent leather pumps.
In this corner, we have a version with gold stiletto heels–verrrrry sexy!
In the opposite corner, we have the very lady-like pumps with bow detail.
One pair hails from 20 Twenty Vintage on Etsy and the other is offered by Neiman Marcus with $370 separating them. So which pair is HI and which pair is LO?*
Because only one pair will steal the heart of a vintage fashionista!

I have a question!
I’m pretty short. Okay, really short. So, I am pro high heels, though I rarely wear them. I’m always worried if I buy them, I will find them uncomfortable and not wear them. Looking at this pair though, they are designed so that the heel is sloping. Doesn’t that make your foot slide forward into the toe? What if you wear, say, a size 8.5N? I think my foot would slide forward, jam my toes, and I’d step right out of them all the time.
OTOH, I guess in 20 years they would still be in mint condition….
