oxfords: they'll sweep you off your feet

A week into September in Iowa means that 50 degree weather is upon us at any moment. While it makes me sad to say goodbye to toasty warm weather, I do look forward in saying hello to fall fashion and trends. Cool and crispy weather makes for the perfect opportunity to class up any outfit by wearing a pair of oxfords! They are perfect when it is too chilly for sandals but it is not quite time to pull out your boots (although how soon is too soon for boots, really).

These aren't just your every day lace up shoes - spice your outfit up by wearing a pair with a splash of color, sparkle, heel, or a classic bow. You can't go wrong when pairing these classics with skinnys or tights, a cozy sweater and a scarf. Hello fall :]

Check out some of my favorites (and afordable) below:

Stay Splendid :]
