Straight Laced

No these aren't your grandfather's long lost church shoes, they're one of the latest fashion trends-the oxford. Hey, the weather is cooling off (well it will eventually), and soon you may want to wave goodbye to your fluorescent pink pedicure and possibly give your feet a rest from all the stilettos (your calves and future bunions will thank you). The oxford is the perfect partner to Fall's menswear trend. Sport a casual look with a relaxed button down and straight leg trousers, skinny jeans and a t-shirt or super preppy with a pencil skirt and tights. As long as you add some type of feminine accent (i.e. "hi, I'm really a girl" red lipstick), very cute! Yet another item I have to restrain myself from buying (operation "Genise buys absolutely no clothing for the entire month of September" going 18 days strong). Enjoy your weekend!

DKNYC "Hera" Oxford $149. These actually aren't flat but still a oxford none the less. I love the color combination of these shoes and would pair them with black patterned legwear and a skirt.
