Down A Step.

I bought a pair of heeled oxford booties a few years ago and was head over heels in love with them. In fact, I still love my patent menswear inspired beauties. Unlike many people I've gotten opinions from, I'm quite the fan of wearing heels to high school. However, once I started attending my fashion program at school, I realized heels aren't always the most practical for standing around and practicing monotonous sewing techniques and what not. So, as much as I still love all my heels, I also have to consider that sometimes flats really are necessary. Which is why I decided I needed an update on the oxford front.

I didn't want anything that totally screamed, "I should be on the foot of a man." But I still wanted something menswear inspired, like my much loved booties. I had been a little wary of ditching the heel on the oxfords, because the heel definitely separates them from being a man's shoe. So, what better way to keep them feminine than to get metallic oxfords?

I think they'll be perfect! They're going to be comfortable enough for rushing to the bus (I'm hoping to drive by the time my senior year starts, but I'll probably end up driving to my regular school and taking the bus to and from the fashion program I attend) and plenty cute enough to wear with one of my favorite floral dresses.

Loving anything menswear inspired, or rocking a new pair of shoes? Hope your weeks are going great! And just in case they aren't, remember you've already surpassed the halfway mark.
