The other reason I had to escape my wide leg trouser considerations. They’re also frequently depicted with men’s style loafers. Which had me thinking I should actually buy men’s style loafers, and let me tell you, square, round or pointy toe, oxford or brogues, men’s style loafers made for women, or men’s style loafers straight from the guys side of the aisle, are not ‘me’. I’ve looked at a lot of fun designs and colours but the way they’re constructed...they always seem too stiff in fabrication and too artificial in their silhouette. I consider lace up ankle boots a more structured alternative to my more casual canvas shoes, without getting into men’s italian loafer territory. Which of course brings up the other reason I’m a no-loafer gal, way better chance you’ll run into animal skin in that foot fashion.

This girl could be rocking shiny synthetic or patent leather, but she’s making it work, in a more formal, urban way than I identify with, so again, not ‘me’.

Love the slight curve down in the waist of the wide leg trouser echoed in the slight curve up in the hem of the fuzzy crop top. Dealing in neutrals means she can wear two shades of white with the black and it’s not too much for the eye.
