Steve Madden Oxfords

Versatile shoes are a must, especially when you have a tight budget or don't want to overcrowd your world with hundreds of shoes. I recently purchased Steve Madden's Oxford Trousers and they have quickly become my most worn shoe.

 

These shoes are wonderful because they can take the place of flats, being simple and cute. There is elastic holding the tongue to the shoe so the laces are optional. 

If you are wanting to work the current menswear style but don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe, adding these tailored oxfords is easy alternative.

59 Days of Style Day 5: The Canadian Tuxedo

Canadian tuxedo? I think not! There is nothing wrong with wearing two denim items at once though I must admit this is my first time as an adult. I was a mix-matcher trend setting kid, so who knows about what I wore as a child. My Mom lovingly let me pick my own clothes while cringing at my "unique" taste. Alright, so the trick is pairing two different colors, styles, etc. If you do want to be the Denim Monster for Halloween, go ahead and dress head to toe in the same wash of denim. For a less scary look, confidently block off the two separate denim spaces, if you are as chicken about being a Denim Monster as I am. I chose a white long shirt. Don't have a classic white T? Just look in your favorite man's drawer like I did ;) Glam up this look with a pretty necklace and a casual over the shoulder bag for a good day-time look. This purple bag is my favorite. It is made by Lucky and is the softest leather ever.
