Oh dear.  Please help me. 

Which would you get? 

Option #1:  JCrew, $141 until Thursday, including shipping.
Pros:  I LOVE them; they're very professional looking, but also fun
Cons: Higher price point than the Nine West pair (below), slightly less versatile

Option #2: Nine West, $88.95 (free shipping)
Pros: Lower price point than JCrew ones; slightly more versatile
Cons: I LOVE the first pair; these aren't as "professional" looking--more casual

Option #3: BCBGirls, $97.95 including shipping
Pros: Very cute, versatile, lower price point than the JCrew heels
Cons: The BCBGirls shoes that I've purchased in the past have HURT.  Anyone have better experience with their shoes?

I like both, but I think I'm leaning more toward the first pair.

I like the first pair. I also found these on Zappos, sort of like the first style but at the 2nd pair price point.

Whoa, and then I realized how much they were and now I think they're overpriced. Think you can do better! I'm going to go search for shoes for you.

i like the first pair MUCH better, and the fact that they are more versatile justifies the higher price imo.  btw that is actually a good price for j crew shoes!

#1. Not sure I'd spend that much on orange shoes but of the two I like the first.

I think the ones with the cut outs are kind of goofy/weird and I would worry about the potential for foot flesh to pop up through the holes.

Okay, I've added a third choice. What do we think of them?

I don't really understand my sudden obsession with orange heels, but I feel like I MUST HAVE THEM. Go figure. I think they'd be surprisingly versatile, actually.

These are my favorites by far. I don't know if they're work appropriate for you (they would be for me), but they are sexy, versatile enough for a cocktail dress or denim pencil skirt, and the color and heel makes them fun.

I like #1 and #2 best. Are you planning on wearing them to work primarily?

I agree.  I really like them and think they're worth the price.

I voted for the JCrew ones, I really like them and think they're worth the price... I mean that isn't that much for shoes nowadays. But I also like the Ninewest ones and think they're fun but would still work for work. IMO, you can't go wrong with either one of them. But I do think you have your heart set on the first pair.

I voted #1, because I always had a great experience with JCrew shoes: they are confortable and hold well. Nine West, on the other side, always end up being too unconfortable to use...

I haven't ever had any J. Crew shoes, when I think of them, I only think of clothes, so maybe that's why I think they're prob overpriced. I've had good luck with BCBGirls shoes, some of my favorite shoes are by them. :)

I like the Jcrew pair the best by far, and think they're pretty versatile.  I have Jcrew shoes, and they're good quality.  I don't really care for #2 because the cut out holes make them really trendy, and I say no #3 because BCBG have been notoriously uncomfy for me.

#1, then the JS pair. I have an older version of the JSs in a different color (Ivory with dark wooden heel) and they are surprisingly comfy.

I looove #1. I think they're worth it. I don't really care for the cutouts on the Nine West pair. The third pair are OK enough but I don't have the same "oh my god those are awesome" reaction as I do for the first.
