Booties vs. Boots

Happy monday friends, as we are now in the thick of winter, it is time to figure out your shoe weapon of choice! Are you a bootie girl or a boots girl? For some of us it's an easy choice, others do both, but for those undecided, I am here to help you. I am a boots girl to my heart! I love fall because I can rock my uniform of slouch boots, skinny jeans and a henley shirt, usually white or green....but that is neither here or there. I love the variety of styles they come in. Calf boot are becoming popular this season, however they can be a little weird to style because the fall between the ankle and the knee, they do look great with pencil skirts and leggings.

Knee boots are the most popular mainly because they look great on EVERYONE, the only issue is if you wear a patient leather pair with a heel higher than 3 inches it could look a little trashy, unless that's the look you are going for.....

Thigh boots, my personal favorite are still popular from last season, these are NOT for everyone, the taller you are the better, they make your longs go on for days, if you have bigger thighs, you could look like a stuffed sausage, they look the trendest with leggings and a blazer or sweater, something effortless.

You also have sub-styles like Uggs or sloughs those are always in season.

With booties, because there is less shoe the focus is on the heel or the little extras. Booties are great because they look great with everything but a couture gown. Wedge heel booties are a hot trend mainly color blocking. This looks great with a monochromatic outfit.

Studded booties are a great way to add some edge to any look.

Coloered booties give you a chance to play with color without going overboard.

Folded booties are a new trend, sometimes its a fold or more of a design, the key is the more detailed the shoe, the simplier your outfit.

Last but never least don't forget playing with textures....enough said!

I could go on and on but the best way to decide is what works for your lifestyle. Just invest in quailty piece, take a chance with something you wouldn't normally wear, wear your booties with thigh socks....well get what I'm saying. Have fun with this a always get your boots and or booties a size bigger for your socks! Love you, mean it Always your girl JeniqueK
