Old Navy Faux-leather Cross-strap Wedges - $29.50
OR
Steve Madden Tuxxedo Oxfords - $69.95
There are several conflicting things I'm trying to take into consideration. First, which would I wear more? I already have wedges, and own nothing like the oxfords, but I can think of more places I would wear the wedges. Second, price. The wedges are less expensive, decidedly so, but I can get free shipping for the oxfords and, as already stated, I already own wedges. Third, I would like to try out a look outside my style comfort zone, and I am loving menswear-inspired clothing for women lately. I have also tried my darndest to find cheaper brown, detailed, lace-up oxfords but to no avail. Target has some awesome black ones that are currently out of stock online because they are THE least expensives ones I could find (or anyone could find, it appears). The problem is, I don't want black, I want brown. Here are the outfit inspirations for the shoe choices:

For any of you who are wondering, I'm buying that necklace with or without the wedges. It's just too awesome. I will also be styling the oxfords minus the fedora and the oversize glasses; those stray just a bit too far outside by style comfort zone.
So...which pair do I get? Which pair would you get? Why?
you have to go with the wedges. The bold oxford fashion choice is admirable but here's the thing- it's almost summer (or it is summer if you live in AZ) so you need the wedges. If it was October I'd say get the oxfords, but April- go for those darling turquoise wedges girl! Just my opinion :)
ReplyDeleteI'm too practical to buy shoes exactly like what I already own, so I would go with the oxfords. I mean, regardless of price, do you really need a duplicate of something you already have?
ReplyDeleteI also think that the oxfords will be a good investment -- classic style, neutral color, all that jazz.
But I'm also biased because I do not wear heels. At all.
