I am a historically casual person fashion wise. A loose fitted button up or t shirt on top of some straight leg jeans, and my shoes of choice are *usually* converse.
I’m getting married in June and my fiancee’s only request for our small, intimate wedding is for us to dress nice. Not to the nines or anything, but *nice*. All my converse are pretty worn in and def not wedding-worthy so I went shoe shopping. A coworker put me on to the idea of docs for my wedding and I was sold pretty immediately; I’ve always wanted docs but have been pretty intimidated by how notoriously difficult they are to break in.
This is my first time wearing these bad boys out and about and they feel SO GOOD! I’m not particularly dysphoric about my feet/shoe size or anything but I do think a good pair of shoes can make you feel more confident. The bulky silhouette is really nice too. They make me feel tall and strong.
Bonus; these Made in England Oxfords are the same shade of green as the shirt I’ll be getting married in! :)
