How embarassing is it that when I was trying to think up a clever title for this post, the only thing that came to mind was Oxilocks but it sounded more like a cleaning product for your hair. Goldiloxford didn't even OCCUR to me. Sad.

What a classic shoe. I think the gold eyelet add to the fun/hip factor. Sounds like a match made in heaven! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-call-me-the-goldilocks-of-oxfords#post-236316 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 18:31:01 +0000 Auburn 236316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was a long hard road, filled with many purchases and returns, with excitement, frustration and, finally, satisfaction.<br /> But I made it and am now the proud owner of the *perfect* pair of oxfords that have already gotten three (!!) wears this week alone and are proving to be a fab addition to my shoe collection--the kind that fills a hole you knew you had but didn't know how to fill.<br /> Allow me to take you on a quick trip down memory lane so you can see how I got here:</p> <p>(1) My first foray was a Zappos order for the Michael Kors oxfords. I posted about these and got some very positive feedback from you lovely YLF-ers. </p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/kors-michael-kors-yazmin-gunmetal-lumen" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/kors-mic.....etal-lumen</a></p> <p>I wanted to like these. I really did. And yet every time I put them on, I just couldn't pull the trigger (of walking out the door with them on). At $250, I decided that my hesitation meant they weren't the right shoes for me and back they went.</p> <p>(2) Next I thought that something more feminine and with a heel would fit the bill (and quite cheaply) so I ordered these from Nordstrom--I know a few of you have given them a try as well.</p> <p><a href="http://www.saddle-shoes.net/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/2/1278326710_6ApMdWbr2SuT.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.saddle-shoes.net/me.....br2SuT.jpg</a></p> <p>Um, NO. My BF laughed at me when I put them on. It was like clown shoes gone wrong. Waaaay too costume-y for my personal style and aesthetic. Another one bites the dust.</p> <p>(3) Having fallen out of love with two-tone, I ordered these from Zappos, knowing Angie loves the fit and comfort factor of this brand:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/fitzwell-justice-black-patent" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/fitzwell.....ack-patent</a></p> <p>Another miss. These were too flat for me and felt too much like jazz shoes. Not enough structure for my feet (and my style). Back they went.</p> <p>(4) Fourth time's a charm! I saw these online and was hoping, because of the price, that they wouldn't work. And while I did have to exchange them for a smaller size, I'm LOVING them. Thankfully had a 25% off coupon to make the price smart a bit less but they are just what I wanted: comfortable, slight heel, true oxford but they don't read overly mannish, cute gold detailing and, best of all, I've worn them with both a dress and pants and they can handle both looks! A few pictures below.</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=489057&#038;PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....sn_results</a></p> <p>If you're still reading, thanks for sticking with me. And if you're still on the oxford hunt yourself, take heart! And don't keep anything you don't absolutely love--I'm convinced this look can work for almost everyone provided they find the right version of this trend! </p>
