I haven’t been to Payless in what seems like forever. And why would I, I’m still going strong with Thrifty Threads 365. However, I was out with my cousin and she wanted to pop into the affordable shoe chain to find some sandals. While she was browsing, I was focused on the prices because in the past I remember being amazed at a $60 price tag for one of the designer collaboration shoes. I mean, it’s Payless, is anyone really going to pay that much?!

Luckily on this visit, I wasn’t dumbfounded by the prices and I saw a few cute shoes and accessories for summer.

You know what sight is always a vision to my eyes? The orange and red sale tags at the end of the Payless shoe boxes. I saw quite a few of these, as well as shoes perfect for the hot weather.

I didn’t focus much on the accessories {though they were on sale, too!}, but these two bags immediately caught my attention. The vibrant Christian Siriano crossbody and trendy backpack easily work now and throughout fall.

On to the shoes, the colorful trend continued with prices ranging from $16 {Christian Siriano colorblock heels} to $35 {strappy sandals}.

The open toe flat sandals were even more affordable, at 15 bucks. These styles are perfect for an outdoor festival, walking around at a street fair, casual brunch and more!

This trip I was happy to see that Payless had some wallet-friendly prices and seriously on trend gear.
