I’m going to tell you RIGHT NOW ( I had this conversation with a friend about this VERY SUBJECT last week) that a bootie that dips down in the front is ALWAYS going to look better on the leg. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it AGAIN. Remember my September post, “Skinny Legs for Days“?
For the last few seasons, jeans and pants all seem to be straighter and shorter. Even with SKINNY jeans, which I still wear, booties can be hard to wear. They don’t hit the pant length at the right spot on your leg or they don’t fit UNDER the pant leg, or OVER the pant leg. It can be a challenge! You’d need ten pairs of booties to accommodate every pair of pants you have in your closet!
Let’s get off the idea that booties look great with a dress. Generally speaking, THEY DON’T. Booties cut off your leg and make you look like you have tree trunks for legs. I’m trying to ELONGATE my legs at all times, not chop them off. BUUUUUUT, if you have a bootie with the “DIP”, you have a different story. The “DIP” actually makes your leg look LONGER with a dress.
TRUST THE MOTHER (as I tell my children)!
Here are a few I found. I bought the Dark Green Vince Camuto AND the Snakeskin-ish Pair (because they’ll go for all seasons). They look SO much nicer than the price tag shows. When I first saw the black pair in person, I couldn’t believe they weren’t a CHOO or a MANOLO. I’m wearing mine with a cropped black pants and cropped jeans, skinny black pants and skinny jeans OR a cute DRESS in black that I’ve had my eye on….but that’s for a different post ;0
Run kids, RUN!!!!!!!!!!

PS – YES, I know…..lots of choices here. BUT, I have NO IDEA what’s already in your closet! Only you know what you need….unless of course you’d like me to get in that closet of yours ;0
