Well Happy Wednesday my loves!
Only 2 more days left in the work week and I'm hella excited. This past 3-day weekend just didn't seem to be enough for me.
There are some pretty exciting things going on in the blogosphere today; for one Marion over at MarionBerryStyle is hosting her monthly trend challenge. I'm also hooking up with Laura at ALittleBitOfLaquer for Work It Wednesday.
This season I'm really into oxfords. I just don't feel up to putting on heels everyday so they are my go-to fashion item. Last week, I expressed 5 reasons why I love these English brogues in Part I of the 'Why I Love Men's Shoes' series.
If you missed Part I, don't fret...view it here!
Today I want to share with you the remaining 5 reasons why these babies will be the first shoes that I grab for after getting dressed.
REASON #6: They're courageously colorful. This yellowish/rare gold hue immediately caught my eye. As they did everyone else's. I hate when people don't understand your style so they find everything negative to say to express their huge dislike for something that you have on. I never get dressed to please others-that's exactly why it's called personal style right!? Anyhow, I figured that though this color is bold and bright, I could pair it with the many neutral hues that I have so as to make for a great statement piece.

| Skinnies-Thrifted |
REASON #7: They're very versatile. I love that you can pull off so many different looks by pairing them with skinnies, boyfriend jeans, and also shorts.
REASON #8: They have plenty of personality. Need I say more- these brogues have a mind of their own. They speak volumes of 'effortless chic' without saying much at all.

| Belt-Thrifted |

| Cropped Tee-TJ Maxx/Clutch-Wet Seal |
REASON #9: They're some kinda stylish. They're classy on men; sexy on women and they come in a variety of different styles. Whether you like high heels, flats, or even sneakers-oxfords undoubtedly have a style to match your flava!
REASON #10: They're freaking fancy. Over the weekend I paired my oxfords with a flirty skirt and I felt like a doll. Follow me on instagram (@sherockwell) for updates on that outfit. I also love the fact that they can be dazzled up and worn with party dresses, tuxedo pants, maxi skirts, and blazers to make for a more sophisticated look.

I could go on and on with reasons why I love these shoes but I think the 10 points I listed are more than enough. Maybe I will make this a regular series highlighting different things in my closet that I love, similar to the 'I Really Love My' series that they feature in People Style Watch Magazine.
How do you feel about oxfords this season?
Are they hot or NOT!?
Thanks for reading.

you look crazy hot in these pics - I love this look alot - and I love your hair. I need that color in my hair.
ReplyDeleteThank You! My beautician put a lightener in my hair and this is what I ended up with. I have no idea what color it is.
DeleteOk YESSSSS and two snaps in a circle to this outfit! I love everything about it! Those gold oxfords though....YASSS! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I died when I saw the gold oxfords. They had them in black too. I shouldve gotten both.
DeleteYes to oxfords!! And especially those gold ones!!! Love them! And like those sunglasses too and that BAG! Can I have it please? jk
ReplyDeletexo!
Sure you can have. Maybe we can even trade some things!!
DeleteOh, those gold oxfords are SO cute!! They're such a great statement piece, a great way to infuse some personality into a look. Love them!
ReplyDeleteThank You Tiffany. I thought they were a great statement piece as well.
DeleteLOVE them! They totally reflect your vibrant personality...so you have no problem pulling them off. I don't understand why people would feel the need to comment negatively about personal style. I'm glad that you don't let it bother you much, but it's still kinda annoying. They're probably just jealous cause they know they couldn't own the look like you do :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!!

People hate what they don't understand! It's so weird to me.
DeleteGirl I want those shades! Wondering if you got anything from target?
ReplyDeleteNope nothing from Target in this 'fit :-( And believe it or not the shades were gifted from by boy toy!
DeleteI have one reason and one reason only: They are freakin’ CUTE!!!! And, besides you are KILLER rocking them!

Thank You Lynn. I have to find other ways to style them.
DeleteLOVE the gold oxfords! So cute.
ReplyDeleteI too love a good oxford - although I didn't feel that way when they first came out. But man there are few things cuter than a frilly dress and pair of cute (and comfy) oxfords!
I didn't like them either when they first came out but they're so comfy and easy to style.
DeleteJust found you and your fabulous shoes via Marionberry Style. Love, Love, LOVE these shoes! Not to mention that shirt. Amen, sister! Not to mention your sass. Awesome writing too. And, I vote YES on the "I Love My column!"

One thing I've learned is to never pass anything up at the thrift store-especially if it's a great price and it's not already in my closet somewhere.
DeleteYOU are so right!! I can't stand when someone attacks my personal style either! The world would be so boring is we all dressed the same. LOVE those shoes! I tried a DIY of my own just like those but sadly the glitter flaked off
ReplyDeleteLOL. I would love to see that DIY. I actually never thought to try that idea. I'm sure there's some kinda way you can keep the glitter from flaking.
DeleteYou look great! I love these shoes -- hottie!
