I like the idea of menswear. I really do. Annie Hall is alright by me. But — trousers and boyfriend jeans don't work with my short legs. And, I really don't see how suspenders and fedoras fit into my workday wardrobe.

I'll stick to subtle touches for now: a chunky watch, maybe a necktie. And these fab new Joan & David "Zena" Oxfords:

They come in black and black and white patent leather, but this neutral tone truly goes with everything: leggings, skinny jeans, dresses, skirts. I feel like I might break into a jazzy two-step whenever I wear them. Watch out.
