So I ended up wearing oxfords today afterall…

Shorts: H&M
Shirt: H&M
Socks: H&M
Shoes: Secondhand

I am kind of surprised by how oxfords ended up everywhere as they´re neither feminine nor truly pretty. I love them just as much though, I just haven´t gotten around to wearing my own two pairs that much yet. In fact my Salvatore Ferragamo oxfords haven´t been worn at all. I know exactly how I want to wear them though, and it´s something in the line of both Karen Walker and Luella Bartley, who both put them together with feminine dresses and skirts in floral patterns. I love the play between the feminine and masculine. Another important detail are the socks worn with the shoes, partly because it´s practical as I can imagine that it must be rather uncomfortable wearing nothing inside them, and partly because I think it looks pretty. For some reason I keep imagining an outfit with slouchy knee highs inside oxfords along with a floral dress. I just need the perfect floral dress first.
