There are so many wonderful oxfords out right now! And many kinds of loafers, too. Or Clark's, even if you had to buy men's sizes (not sure).

Oh I'm not quite in in men's size territory. I will have a look next time I'm in the market which is about now since my black flats are about falling apart.
Also if I'm totally honest - I pretty much hate shopping because I'm so unhappy with my body. If I felt more comfortable with myself I'd probably be more into buying more clothes and dressing up but I don't and so it's a lot easier to just wear "safe clothes" rather than go trying on new things and winding up in tears in a dressing room somewhere. It's a problem which I plan on addressing. In therapy! Tomorrow! :)

that is so true -- i've waited years for oxfords to come back and here they are. i've had a pair of black oxfords as long as i can remember, probably since i was 12?

Those are really nice actually.
Oh man a couple years ago I went to the Bass outlets and they were having a buy 2 get one free sale on already reduced boots. I got three pairs of boots for < $100. It was amazing. Wearing a pair of them today as a matter of fact.

(different pairs since i was 12, obvs, but i remember virtually all of them because i wore them ALL THE TIME)

Tbh my entire style approach is to go too young with the hair and make-up and too old with the attire, so I embrace the matronly work wardrobe w open, polyester-clad arms.

In my Catholic HS we were only allowed to wear oxfords so I usually had a bunch. Or these - these were very popular too:

<3 Frye's but they're so $$$$. I know they last forever but I never have that much to spend on shoes at any given time.

omg I have no idea what I'd wear these with and therefore prob never would but I NEED THESE:

I'm in desperate need of new boots - I want a sort of oxford style boot, mid calf, but haven't found anything under 200

with or without heel
Gorgeous shoes...*HEART* Frye's shoes and boots. They occupy the place in my heart once owned solely by Fluevog. Never owned a pair of those either. Triste. My life has always been very Nine West, Converse sneakers and whatever Born I can find on sale at Ross. Except for the year I saved for mediocre leather boots from Sundance. Okay, now I'm feeling sorry for myself, teehee....

i am getting the rachel antonhoff heeled saddle shoes for x-mas... can't wait.

I was going to say earlier that I really want saddle shoes.

lucky! those seem like shoes i would want want want want and then wear like 2x because i have a glut of special occasion shoes and severe lack of occasions on which to wear them :(
maybe i just need a more exciting social calendar?
― league of women voters, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
I was just looking at that collection thinking that I'd buy myself some with expected birthday money but I am worried I'll never wear them if I do. :/ I'll have to think about it.

I have a lot of kinda 50's-ish dresses that would look really great with the heeled saddle shoes... that was my intent, anyway.
I am picking out Evan's clothes! THIS IS HARD
― Homosexual II, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
I LOVE THE HEELED ONES, TOO! I was going to make a whole post about how if the price of the heeled saddle shoes was my soul, I'd sign on the dotted line. Did you see the cordovan & cognac combo??
i'd wear those black boots, but i am never without a pair of laceup black boots
― league of women voters, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
Those black lace up ones look like the steel toe Docs I wore in HS/College. My shitkickers as my dad would call them.

Mandee have you ordered from Asos? How does the sizing convert?
― ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ (~curious orange~), Tuesday, 13 December 2011 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
I mean - has stuff from there fit true to size?
It runs about half a size big.
― Homosexual II, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
I've had magnificent luck, but I have pretty standard measurements for my size... and I am 5'8" so pants are always the perfect length on me.
My sister has quite different proportions than me and things don't fit her as well.
― Homosexual II, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
I've only had one thing not fit in the like fifty things I've ordered
― Homosexual II, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
I like that they tell you what size the model is wearing - that gives some idea, often.I've ordered quite a lot from there and the only things that didn't fit were just weird fits anyway (like a really rigid 'shell' top).
― kinder, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
i have those frye oxfords and they are great! i got them from urban outfitters when they were having a 50% coupon thing and so they were more reasonable.
― bene_gesserit, Tuesday, 13 December 2011 22:06 (twelve years ago) link
I forgot about this, but sometime ilxor Lauren has the high-heeled saddle shoes ("HHSS") and says they're turrible hard to match to wear b/c the high contrast of the white makes them look funny with a lot of pants.

more for spring/summer tho. for right now i just need another pair of skinny jeans - uniqlo changed something in their design and now they fit oddly on me! all their pants do! even the jeggings! blargh. oh well, it just means i actually have to go shopping properly.
