Colorblocking is on the rise again with these multiple toned Christian Louboutin Lady Peep Platforms. Sold out at $945, these beauties serve as a perfect transition piece and can be worn almost all year round, especially in warmer regions. The featured colors are so mundane; however they are incorporated in a bold manner. The subtle beauty exhibited from these pumps resonates with the audience, but the unjustifiable price tag is a major drawback, hence, the amazing alternative below!

Sergio Zelcer “Weck” Open-Toe Slingback Pumps
Sergio Zelcer is leaving quite the impression on me with his version of the colorblocked pump. Ultimately, his version is not only budget-friendly but it is just as beautiful as the Louboutins pictured above. These “Weck” slingbacks also have a deep red sole if you truly want to immerse yourself in the classic Louboutin look. Overall, you get the designer signature style without spending part of your life savings account.

You gotta admire Giuseppe Zanotti for his fearless approach to designing shoes. Take these colorful colorblock wedge sandals for instance. These look like they belong into a kid’s room rather than on the feet of a grown woman and even though I can’t think of too many outfit options to pair these with it’s still a very fun-looking shoe and probably would work well with a monochrome look at an event where drinking alcohol excessively is a socially accepted pastime (e.g. a Bachelorette party). But would I ever spend $695 for a pair of designer heels that look like LEGO? Nope.

Just because your budget won’t allow for you to splurge on avantgarde designer shoes doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your shoes once in a while. Luckily, online shops like GoJane stock a lot of steal-worthy designer shoe look-a-likes that will give you the same look without the heavy price tag. Look at these colorful stunners for example! Now they don’t come in the same color combos as the Zanottis but will still give you the same colorblock effect.

The sheer simplicity of this tote by Céline is what makes it an absolutely perfect carryall. It’s strong in its construction, yet doesn’t pack the heavy hardware that many of this season’s “It” bags seem to have. It’s chic enough to carry it everywhere from the office to running errands on the weekend. Plus, the neutral colors will go with everything in your wardrobe! If you’re investing in a piece like this, you’ll want it to work well with what you already have. However, if you are like me and prefer the nuance of switching up your accessories, we have a fantastic steal for you below!

Spiegel Colorblocked Tote Bag
Wear this affordable version by Spiegel the same way you would the high-end design above, but keep the option to switch it out for something different if the mood strikes you. It’s clear you’ll get a lot of mileage out of this bag. It will surely look amazing with your skinny jeans and a white button-down just as with a pencil skirt and blouse for your next meeting. Another great thing is you can use it for travel – just fold it neatly into your weekend bag and you’ve instantly got more room for the return trip.

Lately, prints and colors have grown in popularity among fashion. With the current trend of mixing and matching prints, Charlotte Olympia presents these Priscilla Striped Suede Platforms. The combination of two similar hues exhibits colorblocking at its best. And while the lilac with magenta and sea green with aqua versions are more on the fun side and even candy-like, the black ones are irresistible and sophisticated. Although they are sold out, we have an affordable alternative below that can help you achieve a feminine and sophisticated look.

DV by Dolce Vita “Brilliant” Platform Pumps
I love these “Brilliant” pumps by DV by Dolce Vita. They seem so fun to wear, adding a nice touch of vibrancy to a monochromatic outfit and extra boldness when mixing with other prints. The colored versions would have to be my favorite since the climate is becoming warmer; therefore, I am trying to incorporate some color into my wardrobe. As an affordable alternative to the “Priscilla” Striped Platforms, not only do these pumps share a similar appearance they are also affordable with a price tag of $89!

I absolutely adore the entire B Brian Atwood collection for several reasons. I appreciate how the collection is true to the label yet is more of an affordable version, without straying from Brian Atwood’s vision. Though I may not be able to purchase this shoe until it hits the sale rack, if it ever does, I cannot fail to express my obsession with it. The colorblocking adds a pop of color juxtaposing a simple pump with a not-so-simple pattern. However, if you don’t want to wait until the next sale, which may never exist in fact, check out the alternative below.

Featured on a previous post, these Steve Madden pumps are making their reappearance except in colorblocking form. The shape is very reminiscent of these Giuseppe Zanotti heels, but the colorblocking is very B Brian Atwood. To mimic the B Brian Atwood look the ankle strap is removable, so you can mix and match the different style this pump boasts. The amalgam of design and inspiration behind this shoe creates an eclectic feel that will last long both regarding wearability and trends.
