Oxfords
Filed in: Designers, Fashion, Shoes
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.

hmm… i got a pair of spectator pumps a while back, and i love them. but as far as low heel… it will be interesting to see how it’s done on the streets!

Sokkene er en viktig detalj her synes jeg, og som du sier så er det sikkert mer komfortabelt å bruke dem da. :)

I think a pair of white socks with black oxfords look awsome.Karen Walker makes this look really great. This would be a good look for you.
