Lela Rose for Payless 'Exeter' T-Strap Pump in Black $29.99

Fioni 'Sasha' Ruffle Bootie in Purple $34.99

Abaeté for Payless 'Dauphin' Pump in Black $34.99

So Fioni doesn’t technically fall under the Designers for Payless category, but their booties are a great way to try out a sought-after Fall ’09 80′s trend without any heavy commitment. If the purple is a bit too Pat Benatar they also come in black, not to mention their similarity to other pricier designer versions. The runways were also rife with what is, in my opinion, the most flattering shoe style on just about everyone – the T-strap. The ‘Exeter’ pumps are an easy way to add them to your arsenal without having to take out a second mortgage – be sure to check out the purple version as well…
