Oxford shoes are traditionally constructed of leather and were historically rather plain. Occasionally they are called as "Balmorals" (reminds me of like another term for Balmain) and is said to originally appeared in Scotland and Ireland. For the past years, the oxfords have come out in various designs such as cut-outs, peep-toe, and two-toned. They have also become a staple when it comes to menswear inspired clothing
Last night after our humiliating and depressing quest in lining up for tickets for Cinemalaya, me and Bunny decided to go to Rockwell to make up for it. While there we went to one of our favorite sections and I saw this pair of oxfords that were reasonably priced in one of the stalls. I've been looking for a pair of flat tan/camel colored oxfords for quite some time rather than the high-heeled ones so that I can wear them to school. However that stall we were in only carried it in silver, chrome, and berry pink. I decided to try the chrome ones and see how they look on me. I actually like how they looked on me even thought it wasn't the color that I was really looking for me. But once I started to walk on them, the material of the shoes were very stiff and the sides of my feet keep on bumping to them. Alas I decided not to buy it since it was not worth it to spend on nice-looking-but-uncomfortable pair of shoes. We left the mall empty handed since we were really broke to begin with due to the sale season (thanks to Topshop and Mango for eating up my wallet) flocking all over the malls. To cap of our disappointing night, we spontaneously decided to have some drinks and enjoyed the rest of the night to make up for it. Hopefully when I go to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks I will finally get to purchase those long awaited oxfords. Wish me luck.Images: Sartorialist, Le Fashion, style.com
