Oxford pumps

[yadra]

there is something about them that simply fascinates me. basically its a masculine design with a feminine twist, and they can be really sexy. a very underrated and underappreciated style, at least today.

myself, i have about 7-8 pairs (haven't taken the time to personally count). i have a couple pairs left over from hs, but they aren't really anything special (chunky heeled, plain or mocassin toed, not very expensive) but i started really digging them a few months after i started college. i bought a few pairs of stilettos over the past several months, although i don't wear any of them all that often. i wear my chunky oxfords a couple of times a week in the fall and winter, though.

any other girls here that like them, or at least own/have owned them?

I have a pair of spectator slingbacks. Not sure if that falls under the same category exactly, but I love them

i dont have a webcam yet (working on that) so i searched for pics on the web.

i still own all them except for the bottom ones, haven't worn them since the end of jr high

well yeah, thanks to my internship that pays both tuition and the bills with plenty left to spare i tend to go crazy sprucing up the old wardrobe lol

I love the top 2 pairs and the plum chanel ones I can imagine them looking great with a pair of long office shorts and black tights. If I could afford them thats the type of shoe I'd love to wear. The more I look at them the more I love them. A great masculine edge to them.

Yes, I have a pair of black suede with black satin laces that I intend to pull out for fall. They have a little stacked heel. I had a pair of brown ones (tobacco) in college that had a bit of wing-tip trim ... I loved them so much I wrote a paper about them for my Description and Narration class I also had a flat black and white pair that looked like 30s women's golf shoes or something.

It's a great style that we really don't see enough of. One nice thing about it ... I absolutely hate both on my feet and others to see toes hanging out of shoes. With an oxford style that can't possibly happen.

those i got on ebay about 2 1/2 months ago for about $300... i've been waiting forever to find those in my size, most of them are too small, lol

as for the burgundy ones i have no idea, i got those as a gift well over a year ago

I notice there's a whole bunch of oxfords on style.com (including some that look a bit fetishy) under Governess trend. I liked these from Peter Som:

is the black and white new or old collection? they are beautiful...

 

[yadra]

fashionista-ta: those are lovely!

dulcisima: i believe the design has been around since the early 90s... not completely sure, though. they're not that hard to find on ebay, it just takes some patience as not all of them are new and most of them are for small feet (us size 7.5 and under). i wear size 9, and i lucked out lol

i could go for these too:

I love oxford and spectator pumps so much. I have a pair of Dior D'tricks, which are my fave spectators ever and my fave shoes...heres a pic...

I also adore these Ysl spectators which i think are from the same season as the D'tricks (ss04)

those are adorable, ms. diorella
