Embracing My Preppy Side: Bass Enfield Oxfords

While I basically left my preppy days behind when my days at Ralph Lauren ended (about three years ago!), once in awhile I just feel the need to go full-out prepster again. Such was the case yesterday when I pulled my Bass Enfield Oxfords in Grey/White out of my closet and paired them with cuffed jeans -- totally the Ralph Lauren look.

I love these oxfords because they're actually so versatile -- they look equally cool with a ruffled dress as they do with a polo shirt and jeans. (Or a neon-striped tee, as I paired them with yesterday.) I will say, though, that they're exceedingly tight across the vamp -- so wear them with caution!

The Bass Enfield Oxfords come in multiple colors and retail for $79 at bassshoes.com.
