Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

For Marianne: Oxfords

Remember when we were thinking about trying to replicate that JCrew look last year but the shoes were hard to find? I rec'd a Free People catalog today and saw these shoes and thought of you! (Check them out in the pewter color).

Wow, I'm dying here. Those are incredible. I am having major shoe lust pangs :(

Ooh thanks for the link, Laura! These look awesome, especially in pewter.
I still find myself attracted to the oxford style in general, so I wonder if there will be new fall looks that incorporate them.

The pewter ones are gorgeous! I know you can pull off this look Marianne and I'm also curious to see how the look will (or will not) be interpreted this Autumn.

Marianne, you can pull of the oxfords and skinnies look with zero problem! You have the legs for it :)

Free People was showing the oxfords in the catalog with a cropped military style jacket in cream, and a fitted t-shirt, and distressed skinnies. So fab (except the distressed part!).

Wow, and I thought I got all my shoe needs taken care of. I love this pair. Oxfords have been on my mind for a couple of months, although I've been thinking of the spectator ones. I am reluctant because I have really pronounced calf muscle, and flat shoes really help me "show it off".

Danja, I really like the idea of spectators too. Have you looked at Fluevog shoes?

Thanks for the description, Laura. I'll check their site, maybe they have the catalog online. I would love to see any interesting looks with oxfords, please send them my way.

P.S. I just did a quick search on Zappos, and most oxford shoes are still either uber-casual or dr.martens :( There are some heeled versions, which look nice, but are a different animal.
