I tried on a pair a few times and made mental notes of what sort of outfits I could wear, and I finally bought a gorgeous deep brown leather pair. I do like those ones you're sporting! Plus, I think this looks really well put together rather than hipster-y - perfect way to wear oxfords!Lyndseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584704627532354070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231398728008141620.post-36192175815843829952011-03-16T18:54:11.788-04:002011-03-16T18:54:11.788-04:00cute! i really want some oxfords. i have been shop...cute! i really want some oxfords. i have been shopping around for them for a while now, trying to find the perfect ones!kelseyhttp://snappycasual.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231398728008141620.post-20054115247171601352011-03-16T16:44:23.230-04:002011-03-16T16:44:23.230-04:00suede oxfords! never seen those before, they look ...suede oxfords! never seen those before, they look so good with your cuffed jeans.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892834015602534832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231398728008141620.post-26666373601930883832011-03-16T14:34:57.538-04:002011-03-16T14:34:57.538-04:00Love the location of the photo.

I've been hating on Oxfords for quite some time now, but yesterday, while looking for cute closed-but-not-knee-high shoes I caught myself considering... guess what! :-D<br />I didn't buy them, but neither did you, hehe. Same thing happened to me with belts and now I wear them all the time! Oh my. Does that mean an ethno-print low-crotch Hammer pant is creeping up on me? *shudder*<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.relatablestyle.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Relatable Style</a>Naninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790642592126869980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231398728008141620.post-90830826531250624422011-03-16T10:25:34.603-04:002011-03-16T10:25:34.603-04:00I am so with you, and this is me still hesitating....I am so with you, and this is me still hesitating.

My best friend had a pair in 6th grade, and I've wanted one ever since. As for you, do not fear the hipster shame. You did not purchase faux-scuffed oxfords (brogues even!) from a fast-fashion factory. You snagged your mom's, which you can pass off as both vintage and environmentally-chic. Okay, I may have made you sound like even more of a hipster. Désolée.From Suns To Moonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09844448446594203695noreply@blogger.com
