Stepping Out

Oxfords are a great addition to your weekend wardrobe.  Oxford shoes have been on trend for women for several seasons now, and it looks like they are here to stay for spring.  These laced-up lovies have been on my mind for a while, but I suddenly feel like I cannot live without a pair.  I am particularly excited about a shiny, silver pair for spring (hello, Loeffler Randall).  Oxfords are inherently casual, but can be dressed up or down to fit your weekend look.  What do they go with?  Literally everything.  As seen here, they look great with flared skirts, boyfriend jeans, skinnies, or printed pants.  I am loving all the options.  Borrowed from the boys, I think they look pretty fabulous on us girls.

Thank goodness it is Friday! Looking forward to a wonderful weekend with gorgeous weather here in Texas!

This is probably one of my favorite Professionista On A Budget features.   With so many great pieces on sale, and so many new arrivals for spring, there are great budget-friendly picks to choose from.  I am a winter baby, but I cannot help looking forward to spring fashion full of fresh florals and bright colors.  I love each of these pieces – they all have a little flair for the office.

It’s back to work for a full week.  Hope you have a great week getting back into the swing of things!
