Giving In To... Oxfords

10/21/11

Has there ever been a trend party that you've been super late to?  My most notable one thus far has been leggings.  I remember them being kind of big while I was growing up in the 80's, but it took me until just this year to finally snag a pair.  And now I'm finally embracing oxfords.  Rad has had a pretty sweet pair for a while now (so great, she even wore them to her wedding reception), but they never felt like my style.  I even remember girls at my high school wearing heeled oxfords with their uniforms and again, I liked them, but didn't think they were for me.  I've been seeing them all over the blogosphere this fall, and what finally did me in was Kristen of Low Fat Dressing's post devoted to her 3 awesome pairs of Franco Sarto oxford booties.  I had to have a pair of oxfords, and I finally decided to treat myself.  So after 15 years of admiring the style, I'm finally on board with a pair of my own.  What trend have you spent half a lifetime warming up to?
