I was complaining at some point about the lack of flat oxford choices for women like me who don’t want to be bothered with high heels. Pickings are slim, but this Vince Camuto “Alba” flat ($110 at Piperlime) comes as close as can be for the time being to what I’m looking for.  There is a black version, but it’s definitely blah; this one is a vivacious red with a subtle gold stripe at the heel and generous cutouts. I’d say…this is about 80% there. Almost handsome but not quite pretty, bur definitely interesting and going in the right direction.
