Look for Less- Studded Pumps

I don't know about you, but I have been obsessing over Valentino's studded heels. How I wish my wallet was able to handle that purchase. No worries though. I can still get the studded t-strap look for a small fraction of the designer price.

It looks like the trend of studs will remain with us for 2013. I have to say, I'm all for it! No matter how you choose to wear it, added studded embellishments to your wardrobe instantly makes them edgy and hip. And another thing that I love about this trend is that you don't even have to accessorize when you are wearing studded pieces if you don't want to. It's like there is already jewelry in these amazing pieces! My only tip to you is please do not wear studs from head to toe...unless you want to look like Billy Idol in 1985. A little bit of studs really does go a long way.

What do you think of this trend? Will you be fashioning it in 2013?
