Victoria Oxfords from VIVAIA

It was time for back-to-school shopping and I was starting the second grade.  We'd come to the best part of the day, which was of course, getting new shoes.  I could have gone for sneakers like everyone else, but the minute I saw those black and white oxford loafers I knew that no other shoes would do.  

Of course, no one else had anything else like those oxfords and I turned quite a few heads, but even then, I knew I'd rather wear what I like and stand out for being a little fashion-forward than try to fit in.

I still love oxfords because they're the kind of shoe that basically goes with anything and adds a little panache to everything.  Oxfords work with dresses, skirts, and trousers; they even look great with jeans, so I was so excited to find these Victoria Round Toe Oxford Loafers from VIVAIA.

The Victoria comes in Gray or Black and like all of VIVAIA's shoes they're made from six plastic bottles worth of recycled plastic so they're eco-friendly and sustainable.  Plus, you can save an extra 20% off your purchase at VIVAIA with my promo code BLEU.

These shoes are comfortable, made of breathable knit and have anti-microbial insoles.  They also have anti-skid rubber soles, they're durable and machine washable.  

I particularly appreciate these shoes at this time of year when I still want to wear skirts and dresses and need to keep my feet warmer and dry but still look chic.  I can't wait to spend the winter trying these shoes with all different styles.
