Splurge/Steal: Metallic Silver Oxfords

I confess: I am a shoe fanatic.  I love heels, ballet flats, flip flops, running shoes and pretty much every other style of shoe ever created.  This winter (when there hasn’t been tons of snow on the ground) I’ve relied heavily on my J. Crew loafers which I’ve worn to and from work nearly every day.  They are comfortable enough for commuting by metro, yet also stylish and go well with jeans and dresses.  The only oxfords I’ve had up until now have been the black ones I wear with my dress Army uniform (and they are not all that stylish, as I’m sure you can imagine…).  This past weekend I made a trip to Target, a rare occurrence because I get in my car about twice a month, and found some darling silver oxfords.  Do you all remember these shoes that came out this past fall from J. Crew?

These snazzy shoes cost $258 and were just too flashy and trendy for me to even consider spending that kind of money.  Target, on the other hand, is selling these silver metallic oxfords for a fraction of the price…just $29.99!  Plus they have cute cutouts which will be great for spring! 

These oxfords are made by Sam & Libby and I can’t wait to wear them with some skinny jeans and dresses once it’s a little warmer.  I wore Sam & Libby ballet flats when I was in elementary school…crazy how things come back around because I almost bought a pair of the black ones at Target, but settled on the oxfords instead.  They also have these oxfords in black and tan, so if you aren’t quite ready to commit to something a little wild like metallic silver, they still have a shoe for you 🙂
