professor?

I have been obsessed with oxfords lately, and it was my intention to show you oxfords from different designers. However, I never made it past Anthropology. How very typical.

These are almost nautical to me. I want to wear them with a blue and white striped t-shirt dress and go on a boat.

Ahhh, floral oxfords. They're like a breath of fresh air in this nasty, nasty winter. I find the leather piping on them marvelous, as it makes it just makes them that much more scholarly. I think that I may have to go babysitting a bit more and then buy these. Or should I exert a bit of self restraint and actually save my money? Nah.

LACE. I die. Like Rachel Zoe. The lace makes them so much more girly and lady-like, but the way that there is leather around the toe, heel, and laces edges them out a bit, too.

Love these because they are just so classic, like I could see a college professor wearing them in the 50's. They aren't modified so they would be more trendy. I feel like they are honest, in a way. Yes, silly, of course shoes can be honest.
