Kick Off Your Sunday Shoes

The boyish silhouette that was ALL THE RAGE for women in the 1920s is showing up more than ever for 2011!

Not only are blazers, trousers, and turban style headbands very IN right now, but mens footwear is stepping into the SPOTLIGHT! Mens inspired shoes stomped across runways upon the feet of many men, and the OPPOSITE sex. Designers such as Urban Outfitters, Christian Louboutin, Steve Madden and many more, showed androgynous shoes playing a major role in their Spring lines.
Whitney Port, Rihanna, Sienna Miller and WAY more celebrities have been constantly spotted wearing oxfords. This HOT trend is becoming more and more popular everyday...

You can pair these trendy shoes with almost ANYTHING. Couple them with a feminine skirt for a flirty more girly look, rock them with some boyish trousers for chic style, or go for a casual ensemble by wearing them along side some rolled up jeans! Here are some ECU Pirates wearing their own versions of this fashionable footwear fad for Spring 2011...

This chic student was rockin' the blazer trend along with the some oxford inspired sneakers. Not only did he look casual, but he looked professional too!
This adorable pirate was as styling as anyone with her unbearably cute oxfords, boyish 1920s inspired haircut, and extremely popular Ray-ban style sunglasses.
Another fashionable pirate paired the casual oxford style tennis shoes with a teal-blue colored sweater which is the perfect color for the transition from Winter to Spring weather.

So next time you hit the mall, ladies and gents, take your time to look for some "menswear" inspired shoes!  Not only will you look cute, but you'll be comfortable too! Thats all for today...

keep on keepin' on fashionistas
