My New Oxford Lover

I've been searching for the perfect Oxford shoes since like months ago. But all those shoe shops that I often visit (sometimes too often that I can tell their whole collection, and where to find them) ended up disappoint me. They either have high-heeled oxford, or patent oxford. None of them are my dream ones. What I want is a simple flat "leather" lace-up pointy oxford, with wing tip accent. Well, it doesn't sound simple anymore, but among thousands shoe shops in Singapore, can't I just find one pair? I don't even mind about the colour. Let it be brown, black, pink, blue, or green, I will take it. Okay maybe not green.

Anyways, I got so frustrated (Yeah, I got frustrated over shoes, that's how I love shoes) after a few month of searching with no result. I did found a few pairs I'm quite interested about, but it's from online shops. And I prefer trying up and feeling my shoes before buying them. So, I skipped online shops.

And last week, me and Han went to Dhoby Gaut. We stopped by at Plasa Singapura to have our lunch at Carl's Junior. I had Cheese Chilli Fries, Cheese Curry Chicken Cubes (this one bought from small snack stall next to it), and Guacamole Bacon burger. When Han almost puked of being too full, I was still enjoying my food happily. Yes, we ate the same portion.

Anyways, after lunch, we went around the mall, and I suddenly found this shoe shop. Automatically, I went into it. I walked around and out of sudden I halted. I saw these pair of Brown Oxford standing gloriously on the rack. They were pointy, leathery, flat, lace-up, and wing tip-y, exactly how I wanted them to be. I almost jumped onto them, really. I asked the shop assistant to get my size, tried them on (perfect!), and bought them. And now their mine!! Hahahaha! Hah!

Here they are:




Love the wing tip!

Btw, that's Anpan-man. A famous character from Japan. Han bought it for me when he was in Japan for business trip. He said it looks like him (the head part).

First time wearing it. I wore them with my cuffed jeans, and loose button-up shirt.

I love them!!

Btw, can you believe it's Thursday again?? Time really goes fast..
