It's a Women's World in Mannish Shoes


I picked up these vintage shoes several weeks ago at Little Edie's Five and Dime. They look amazingly flirty with mini skirts and cropped trousers. For a lady who spends the majority of the day on her feet these pseudo oxfords offer a lovely compromise between the heel and the flat. The 1.5" heel keeps your feet out of the puddles without straining your calves or lower back.

Here I was, thinking to be in the forefront of a footwear fad. My latest issue of Vogue proved otherwise. In an article written by Sarah Mower, titled Going Steady, she discusses the latest look of the short skirt paired with a "mannish" shoe. The couture houses are drafting masculine loafers for ladies. It is a manner in mixing the masculine in with the feminine. Luckily for yours truly these beauties cost about a Jackson as opposed to the versions on the runway which will run you about a half dozen Benjamins.
