'Fall'ing in love with Shooties
Fall means chilly weather, sweaters, fires, and just being warm and
cozy. But let's just be real here for a moment. This is Texas and those
kinds of days happen only a handful of times each year and it is
usually around Christmas. So the idea of wearing boots sometimes just
makes me hot. However I love fall and hate that I can't wear boots. The
somewhat recent introduction of the ankle boot has sort of helped with
that, but I can never seem to find ankle boots that I really adore.
Enter the shootie (or bootie...it's the same thing). Now this is a
versatile fall shoe that I can learn to love. What is a shootie you
might ask? It is a hybrid of a boot and a pump because it covers up most
of your foot and stops right below the ankle. Think of it as a sweater
for your feet. I really like these because they can be worn with anything
and
everything just like a boot, but still have the fierceness of a high
heel. Don't think that these only come in basic, boring colors. There are tons of colored, patterned, bedazzled and everything
else you can think of versions out there. I found this more neutral pair
at Target and liked that there was a little piazzaz to them, but mainly I
thought that I could wear them with a ton. You can throw them on with a
dress and tights or skinny jeans and a great coat. This shoe is
becoming a shoe staple for the fall, so no matter what you are looking
for, I know that there are a ton of options out there. DSW is teeming
with options right now (I am beyond tempted when I visit), so
make sure you grab yourself a pair before they are all gone. This is a
great transition shoe to wear in the fall before the cold of winter
comes. Knowing that I can at least enjoy some of the fall shoe fashions
more often with the shootie makes it a little
easier to handle the warmer weather.
