For months- MONTHS- I’ve drooled over the Aquazzura Wild Thing sandal. Worn by stylish girls like Solange Knowles and Jamie Chung, and featured on almost every style blog and high-end fashion retailer’s Instagram pages, these fringed bad boys beckon ideas of sandy resorts where salty hair and sun-kissed faces rule all. Don’t believe me?

Gorgeous, right? But at a whopping $785, the fartherest I could travel to a beach without feeling guilty is the Ohio River. Not my idea of a glamorous vacation.
While all the colors are beautiful, the ice blue, orange-red, and a chartreuse (not pictured) seem to be the most popular. It’s the sunset-y red that has always had my heart. Imaging my surprise when tonight, I spotted an incredible dupe for less than 20% of Aquazzura’s cost!

Meet Steve Madden’s Sassey. Comfortable, flippy, and pretty darn close to the original Aquazzura resort sandal. And for only $129, one would have no issue booking that extra beachside massage.
