Last winter, I decided to purchase a pair of oxfords so I would have a fully enclosed shoe that was flat. I opted for a pair that was simple and stylish and bought the Crown Vintage Elim slip-on oxford. Luckily for me, the oxfords were on sale in the color I wanted, a distressed grey that was actually described as brown on the box.
Since buying the oxfords, I haven’t worn them much. Underutilizing these shoes doesn’t even make sense because when I think about these oxfords, I always connect them with several other items already in my wardrobe.
“Fashion Thesaurus” is one of my new series that will showcase items that I always connect with each other. This fashion thesaurus has helped me decide what to edit from my wardrobe and also what to add.
So, to ensure that I put these fabulous oxfords to use, I decided to open my fashion thesaurus today and share some of the items that I always associate with these oxfords.

I always associate my oxfords with leggings and any other pair of pants that reveals my ankles. Top-Nally & Millie, Leggings-Target, Bag-Missoni for Target |

These oxfords always go well with skirts–short skirts, full skirts, long skirts… Cami-ON, Jacket-Loft, Skirt-Dolce & Gabbana (swapped), Bag-MICHAEL Michael Kors via ebay |

I always envision my oxfords paired with my casual dresses like this chambray shirt dress. Dress-Gap, Belt-Banana Republic Factory Store |

In my mind, a pair of jeans is always a good match for oxfords. The jeans work well when cuffed too. Tee-Gap, Jeans-Gap Outlet, Belt-Hobo International via Marshalls |
Now that I’ve consulted my fashion thesaurus, I think these oxfords will get worn more.
Very cute, love the oxfords! Now that I see them with a few outfits I would not pass them up.. for the right price of course π
It's funny that you wrote about Oxfords. I am going to wear mine for the next two days for a business trip. I am pairing it with an ankle length full skirt on day one and with a pair of wide leg trousers on day two. I love the looks you showcased. They really can go with anything! I'm tempted to get a pair in a different colour!
Great shoes!!!! I've been meaning to get a pair for awhile but still haven't found the right ones…
Following you now π
Cheers,

They look great on all outfits! Love your style! π
They look great with every outfit you posted. I have two pairs that I wear somewhat frequently and usually with boyish outfits. I like your skirt with them, though.
Love them! Great outfits!
