Then this morning, I saw Dana posted about a pair of oxfords on The Art of Accessories. She asked for input and I immediately weighed in. You see, I have been considering oxfords since January and recently I came across an affordable pair that tickle my fancy. The Steve Madden Tuxxedo style is my current object of affection and if I do take the plunge to buy a pair oxfords these will be the ones I go for.

After sharing my own thoughts on styling the shoe with Dana, I decided I needed a more visual grasp on what I would do- and thus, I introduce my Tuxxedo Lookbooks:
The pairing of a whimsical skirt with the straight laced (no pun intended) shoe is kindly transitioned with a current blazer. Spice tones are all the rage for this season and I think this bag adds a perfect punch of livelihood
This is a great weekend look, it's Gwen Stefani sporty chic- the perfect ponytail is a must
Romantic juxtaposition is my immediate inclination for styling the oxford shoe- I love the pinks and nudes in this outfit, go glam for hair and makeup or else you will tread into Granny zone
Preppy and oxford, as Dana pointed out in her post, go hand in hand. I love the burst of yellow on a canvas of classic shades
The look is very Camelot Kennedy- the jacket channels Jackie while the shoe is JFK.
As you can tell I tended to gravitate towards yellows to bring sunshine to such a serious show- as well as graphic shapes and classic pieces. Definitely throw in items for contrast but understand that a happy medium must be found. Trying to achieve what I had envisioned was a little challenging but in the end I think I am fully encouraged to go out and get the shoe.
How are you feeling about oxfords at this point in the game? I'd love your input before I fully commit...
