These Christian Louboutin Jefferson Platform sandals look very lovely, I would try them with jeans, simple white tank and straw large bag :) or they can be paired with white shirt to get more business look :) They’re available at Barneys in navy, red and blush:

Honestly, they’re nice to have, but maybe it’s not the most necessary pair, even if you can afford them. So, let me show some nice versions for which you can surely spend your money :)

These ones are by Charlotte Russe but look exactly like Louboutins :)

So, why overpay?

UPD: at bebe you can find leather version of these sandals. Paige has just the right touch of preppy style. Leather slingback sandals. Toes lined with a bright metallic lace. Lace detail weaves up each side.

Black patent calf wedge Salamanca sandals by Christian Louboutin is one of my favourites. They are available at Net-a-Porter. Matte calf leather platform espadrille gladiator sandal with adjustable halter sling back, called Barcelona by master again is available at Barneys.
Team these raffia detailed wedges with a sundress and oversized shades for a retro-inspired vacation look.

Fortunately, I can have ten times less affordable alternatives for you. At Bakers, there are DEANNA and DIANNA wedges look alike Louboutins. So, why to overpay?

Get ready for summer!

UPD: I’ve also found great Dorothy Perkins alternative gladiator wedge sandals:
