Oxford Flats: When in Recession, Go Back to School

In the contracting economy, people are rushing to go back to school. Those who aren't already preparing their applications or applying to programs are feeling nostalgia for the days when learning--not money--was the number one priority.

As a result, all things school will be in vogue. For the spring and into summer and fall of 2009, oxford flats are going to be all the rage. Be prepared to make your preppiest oxford flats your "it" item this year, pairing them with everything from rolled-up matchstick jeans to an above-the-knee, A-line skirt.
