OOTD- Man, I Feel Like a Woman

I'll admit when the whole oxford shoe trend blew up, I was a bit hesitant to get on board. Sure, I would gladly wear a flat any day, but manly looking shoes can definitely be a bit tricky to pull off. My one pair of oxfords have served me pretty well and I think the big key is to add a good dose of femininity to the outfit. Loose hair, a fun bracelet and a tie-neck top were my elements for this outfit. I figured it was a good step until I develop that effortless styling like Alexa Chung. Now, she knows how to rock an oxford:

Outfit of the Day-Walk Like a Man

Happy Friday everyone!!! It is time for some rest and relaxation, a little sunshine, and some food right off the grill. I live for a long weekend.

Today's outfit was centered around a pair of new shoes. I'm usually one for classic pieces, but every now and then I'll try out a trend. However, if Forever 21 is trying to bring back overalls, I am not biting. I remember my very colorful ones in elementary school that I coordinated with my purple and pink hi-top Reeboks and I cringe at those old pictures. These oxfords kept my feet feeling comfy all day and I tried to add some femininity with a blouse. I still need to play around with outfits to figure out how to temper the masculine vibe of the shoes. Perhaps a dress, a skirt and casual top, feminine tops with a pair of pants? It's time to play dress up.

Are there any trends you've been hesitant to try?
