If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that when it comes to shoes, i mostly tend to gravitate towards the "borrowed from the boys" styles. Loafers, Brogues, Oxfords.... I love em!

Practical, unpredictable, trendy and majorly stylish; they are an amazing departure from the usual shoes people tend to sport. They instantly elevate your outfit to several notches. This trend is way more versatile than it seems. Pair it with jeans, skirts, dresses, maxis, shorts and pretty much everything. Just don't overdo it. These shoes are a statement in their own right.
