These $60 Zara Shoes Made Me Forget About the $400 Designer Pair I Wanted

I've been getting that new-season, need-new-shoes itch lately (you know what I'm talking about), and I was feeling like nothing could end it. Nothing besides a pair of $400 mules, that is. I basically want all the By Far shoes right now (and always), but especially this pair, and I fully convinced myself that I'd wear them multiple times per week. However, I have a bit of trouble settling on shoes this early in a season, as I know that there are so many other fashion items that I'll want between now and fall. Luckily for my bank account, I've moved on to another pair of shoes, at least for the time being, and they're $340 less, which is enough for several more pairs of shoes.
The shoes in question that stole my attention away are a pair of Zara chocolate-brown, croc-embossed mules that will go with everything. (I'm clearly into brown this season.) Per usual with croc-embossed pieces, they look far more expensive than their $60 price tag, and I bought them immediately upon spotting them. Since they arrived, I've taken a break from stalking the $400 pair, as I've been busy pondering all the spring outfits I plan on wearing my Zara ones with.
Keep scrolling to shop my new Zara shoes (and the designer pair I still have high hopes for), along with more of Zara's new, expensive-looking mules. And shop another style that's majorly trending on Instagram.
