Wednesday (Make that Friday) Q&A: Peeping in from Oxford



Sorry, it was an incredibly busy week, so it's time for a little catch-up..
Q from Denise: What do you think about those lace up high heels? I am not sure if I can get my head around those.

A From Joyce: Ah, the high heeled Oxford. I think they're fun, but are definitely a trend item.

The rule with being a stylish mom, as you know, is that you don't have to follow every trend (and who has time?), but you do need to pay attention to find those that fit your style (lest you find that it's been four years since you picked up a copy of Vogue--or a new pair of shoes bought solely for their comfort).

So back to the topic at hand: if this trend works for you (and I do think it's a fun way to spruce up a winter suit or pencil skirt), I suggest you don't make them an investment piece. The bootie found its way onto every runway last year, so they will not be a hot item for too much longer.

Try these on for size:
The Naso by Nine West ($109)
The Maran peep toe oxford by Vince Camuto.
