Splurge vs. Steal: Floral Print Pumps

A couple of weeks ago I posted a wish list that included a gorgeous pair of floral print Alice + Olivia pumps. Although I was (am still am) totally in love with those pumps, I don't really have a spare $300 to drop on a pair of shoes that I can't wear with absolutely everything in my closet right now. So I did some searching and found a very similar pair of floral pumps at a much better price - you'll never believe how much they cost!

splurge:

Alice + Olivia 'Dina' pumps in Cherry Blossom - $295

steal:

ELLE floral print heels - $36 (regularly $60)

I on Kohls.com browsing the new spring pieces from Lauren Conrad's collection (I love her cute, affordable LC line!) when I stumbled across these pretty floral pumps by ELLE. They totally reminded me of the Alice + Olivia ones on my wish list but my jaw literally dropped when I saw the price! I immediately bought them and they should arrive at my apartment sometime next week. I feel MUCH better spending just $36 on a pair of patterned shoes that I'll probably only be able to wear a couple of times a month. What do you think - would you buy the splurge or the steal? Can you tell the difference in price just by looking at the two pairs? I definitely can't!
