Wingtipper

Guys, I realize that I am unforgivably late on the whole jeggings trend (and I'm not even sure if people still actually wear jeggings, or call them "jeggings") but last week I found a pair for $5 at a random Family Dollar in south Florida and figured what the hell, I'll get them. $5 well spent, my friends.

One rule for jeggings-- always make sure the top you're wearing covers your butt. Nobody wants to see that seam.

Also new in this outfit: a pair of wingtips from DSW! My shoe collection is pretty conservative. Not in number because god knows I have an Imelda Marcos (or rather an Em-melda Marcos HAH!) sized collection, but in style. I stick to flat sandals or heels in the spring and summer, flat boots in the fall and winter. I rarely deviate from this formula... until now.

My mom is convinced they're men's shoes. When I showed them to her last night she actually yelled "those are mens wingtips!" Seriously, mom. They are women's wingtips. But because of that I can't stop calling them my Man Shoes now. Next time I plan on feminizing them up a little more with a dress and some tights. I have many ideas for these so expect to see them again soon!

Those shoes are cute. Do they have a bit of a heel? I like how the brown jacket matches the shoes. I like to get trends, like jeggings, when they aren't trends. If that makes any sense.

I have found that it's a lot easier to have a separate blog just for reaching my weight loss goal :)

Hey Emily,
I found your blog through a comment in a post: http://www.bu.edu/today/node/11851.
I love you shoes and figure you might like the tights I sell in my website: http://www.RaneeC.com (It is going through some changes currently, but more product and a new website will be up soon!

I really like your shoes by the way, but I'm one of those people who just don't like jeggings. Your outfit is very well put though!

Keep up the good work! I'll be following your blog! :)

Have a great semester and year ahead!

I have worn oxfords/loafers literally every day since June. They are my life. You will discover man shoes and never look back (unless we're talking about that pair of Miu Miu suede booties I posted in my Christmas list because I mean...DUH).

Hey Emily! Thanks so much for commenting on my blog :) The layout I'm using is one of the default ones but I've tweaked it here and there to allow for more space in the body of the posts. It's a bit messy trying to explain it here but you pretty much need to adjust some numbers through html before you can start posting larger sized photos (I use the most recent version of blogger and upload on picasa) I just googled and found this site which you may find helpful for tweaking html http://www.blogdoctor.me/2006/10/how-to-change-width-of-blog.html

i rarely wear flats, but these and oxford type shoes are growing on me. i think it's ok to wear menswear as long as there's something feminine about the outfit.

I STILL do not own jeggings. Shame.

I love that you paired yours with oxfords!

Jan said...

Okay, you are seriously reading my mind. My next post (live in a couple of hours) is on just this topic (ie. women wearing mens' clothes)!!!

Tell your mum your blog followers confirmed that those are totally women's brogues (or oxfords, or wingtips, or whatever you like to call them). And yes, people still wear jeggings - my only complaint is that since there are no belt loops, mine always appear to fall down my bottom - not a great look for me :) Invent a set of jettings I can wear a flat belt with and I'd be a happy woman!
