Ok so I have been looking for some hot platform pumps. I couldn’t find any I like finally I found the style I love! They’re at $800 I was wondering if you can find any that look like these but are less expensive.

thanks!
love the thelipstickdiaries!!!!!

Thanks Vanessa! We love you too. The YSL Platform Pump is gorgeous and would make any short girl like myself feel sky high. I can’t handle the $800 credit either, so I’ve found some more cost friendly platform pumps for you.

Check behind the cut!

The first is this Jessica Simpson Parigi pump. Deceiving I know because it looks shorter than the YSL but it actually has a 4 1/2″ stiletto. At a low $88.95 I actually might purchase a pair.

These next ones are by Velvet Angels available at ShopBop.com. I know VELVET might not be what you are looking for but I think these are great. No stiletto here as it’s stacked, but I think it has a great look. Not as low as the Jessica Simpson’s, but for $250 you’re still getting a great pump for A LOT cheaper.

Last but not least, my last go to for the platform pump would be HERE. These are the classic pumps. We haven’t been able to confirm the authenticity of the shoes from this site but for $195 I’d say you’ve got a steal.

Hope this helps you out! Let me know if you buy a pair of any of these!!!
