Dear Summer #2- Oxfords

Dear Summer is a series of fashion inspired posts. I am, by no stretch of the imagination, a fashionista. I do, however, have very distinct, and usually non-trendy taste.

Today I want to highlight the Oxford. Classic, yet sophisticated. Oxfords come in a variety of colors and patterns. There are heels and there are flats.

The Oxford is typically looked at as a winter or fall shoe. I wanted to highlight some inspiration for those of you who, like me, look for ways to wear all garments year round.

Oxfords can be dressy and they can be casual too.

Stuck trying to figure out how to wear Oxfords? Start with basic apparel. A simple white or graphic tee is a great start to any outfit.

Need a way to make it casual? Try pairing denim jeans, a denim skirt, overalls or shorts with your Oxfords.

Want to dress things up a bit? Experiment with patterns. Try wearing a patterned skirt or dress with a basic tee or tank. This will take a casual day fit to a fun eventful look.
