Crave & Save: Oxford Booties — The CheapChica's Guide to Style


Crave & Save: Oxford Booties

by Meghan on September 7, 2010

Just in time for the Fall, we’ve added another amazing contributor to the site…Meghan Kelleher!  She works at ELLE Magazine so it’s safe to say that this stylish young lady knows a thing or two about fashion.  Her weekly “Crave & Save” posts will feature all of the latest must-haves right out of the pages of those glossy monthlies…at a price point for everyone!

As the weather begins to cool down, I’ve noticed that you can’t walk by any storefront window without seeing the new chic, trend for the feet: the oxford shoe.

Due to the fact that I’m only 5’3”, I was so excited to see the new twist on last year’s oxford trend: the oxford bootie. What’s great about a lace-up bootie in the cooler months is that it’s functional.

When I shop, I like to look at pieces that are all over the spectrum- highs and lows.  For example, I love this Ralph Lauren Collection bootie, but it may make more sense for me to go with the J. Crew bootie, priced at $275–I know I’ll wear these shoes a lot, but definitely not $1,000 worth!

If you feel as though you aren’t ready to spend that kind of money on a trend, or if you think you’ll only wear them a few times, you can go with this peep-toe pair from Seychelles for $56 or a great pair from Nine West.  The possibilities are endless!

I really like that you added a shoe with a thicker heel, for people like me, with wobbly ankles!
Great job, lots of choices on the theme!

I love these. Ive been looking for a great pair for several years after I saw kiera knightly wear a black pair ( i think it was at a film fest for the edge of love). I just ordered the Sam Edelman “Sawyer” Cutout Oxfords. i just blogged about them.
Great post!! :)
