The Steele Maiden: From Where I Stand(Original Artwork by Jessica Steele)
In case you missed it, last week I introduced a new weekly series called ‘From Where I Stand’ – a portrait of a pair of shoes and where I wore them.  So today I’m back with the second edition…

02 / Philadelphia wearing two tone oxfords

For those that don’t know I attended college in the city of Brotherly Love and although I’d like to blame it on the collegiate environment, I think it was actually my love of the character Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl that informed most of my style decisions in those days.  So I took to wearing a whole lot of knee socks and finding old oxfords (along with university sweaters, and fur trimmed coats) at thrift stores.  The whole look probably ended up being more Margot Tenenbaum than Queen B, but either way, I’ll still always have a soft spot for knee socks.
