The other Sofia Flats from Fossil are in easy-to-forget plain colors, but these ones in a floral print and a giraffe-like orange pattern are too cute to ignore:

Don’t they remind you of lazy Sunday afternoons? Wear a colorful shift dress, hold an ice-cold drink in your hand, slip these Fossil flats on your feet and you’d fit right in in this summer scene:

The Fossil Sofia Flats pictured above obviously get their vintage vibe from the 60s-inspired prints printed on them, but don’t overlook the braided jute trim running along the soles of the shoes. That seemingly small detail is what tones down the hippie, flower-child effect of the print and instead makes these flats simple, casual, and cool.

In retrospect, I guess all colors of these Fossil flats do have the vintage vibe going on. Especially if you view them all together, placed side by side:

Viewed this way, even the metallic gold version could pass for a vintage flat, couldn’t it?

At $68.00 a pop, it’s tempting to get every color of these Fossil Sofia Flats. They’re available at Zappos.com.
