Bootie, Bootie, Bootie Walking Everywhere!

I’ve touched on this in a previous posts but, now I will delve in deeper into my new found love of booties. When the bootie look first burst on the scene a year or so ago I thought every fashionista and celeb rocking the trend was truly disturbed but now I want to take back this notion. I am officially into the bootie but only with certain outfits, to me a bootie is not the new ballet flat or heel. I love booties with skinnies or hidden under a flare leg pant. Sometimes booties can be rocked with a skirt or dress but I think you’re walking a dangerously thin line there because you run the risk of making your leg look shorter by cutting yourself off at the ankle. So when in doubt with skirts and dresses I would opt out! Here are some of the best booties in my option!

These first bootie are a dressier style at Lulus by Luichiny.  I love the tan color, the studs on the back and the heel and the larger zipper. All these elements are on trend right now but are classic enough to go beyond a year lifespan! Another great thing about booties is you can rock some higher heels easily because a bootie almost a boot! Seriously cute and at 77 bucks a pop they are a sound investment!

A similar bootie but with a more causal feel (like everyday wear) is the Dixie bootie from nastygal.com. With a stacked heel and lace up details on the back of the shoe this bootie is fabulous. Also, these boots are vegan leather which maybe a pro or a con in your book, but for me personally it’s a thumbs up.  In addition these booties already have a little weathering, so if they get a little scuffed or worn that’s okay because let’s be honest none of us are perfect! 

Finally, I think we all worship at the alter of Tory Burch, but these booties are seriously perfection. I love the Tory Burch logo of course, black leather makes these shoes very versatile and a hefty wedge for all of you clumsy girls who can't rock a real heel! Also, in all black like this these booties have a little bad ass edge to them! These shoes would go great with skinnies, black pants, black tights and a hot dress! At $395 each these are at the top of the budget for most people but if you can afford em, get em!
