When Tammy posted her Trending through the Decades subject, boots, I wasn't prepared. The last thing I want to wear now is boots. Here in New England, we wear boots (not the pretty, high heeled kind, no-- the ugly mucky muck kind) for what seems like 6 months. So, the thought of bringing out my boots before their time was ......revolting.
I remembered I have this OTHER type of boot--shootie--half shoe, half bootie. When I bought these on sale from Anthroplogie, it was an experiment. Was I going to be able to wear them?
As it has turned out, I wear these A LOT! They are so much more practical than I could ever have imagined--they are a great transitional boot. And not the mucky-muck type.
I ended up getting another pair of shooties in black! Anyone else out there a shootie lover?
Those shoes are really cute! I can see them as being kind of hard to find things to mix with them with but it looks like you're doing a great job!
ReplyDeletethose are adorable. I know what you mean about boots....mucky muck kind. I hope you have a nice fall and get to wear them for a long time!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in this outfit and that sweater looks so cozy!

Cute! I've never had a pair, but you make me want one!
ReplyDeletePaula - I have been lusting after these very shoes for months -- and they look AMAZING on you (with your cute fishnets too). Love, love this whole look, and your happy face : >
ReplyDeleteLove those! SO cute!! I'm finding that various ankle boots are my favorite go-to footwear in all but the warmest weather.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been a shootie lover, but I think I am now. Gorgeous photos of you!
ReplyDeleteI totally want a pair but haven't gotten them yet. The problem isn't me, it's Los Angeles. You see stores only sell 5" platforms here, so finding a cute 1" heel like yours is rather difficult. I'm jealous actually.
ReplyDeleteYour whole outfit is fab.
Kisses,
Heather

Never heard of them till you. Now I really, really want them! You look great!
ReplyDeletethe texture tights are great! And another pair of shooties!? Yay!
ReplyDeleteI'm still vaguely perplexed by shooties, but I don't know why! You would think I'd love them, since I love boots, and since dainty shoes just are NOT my thing. Those ones do look awfully cute on you! If I'd seen them on the shelves, though, I think I would have been scratching my head. Clearly, I need to start thinking outside the box here.
ReplyDeleteLove them and I too am a shortie lover!

a shootie! cute name for them. you wear them well!
ReplyDeleteIn the Midwest we have boots then we have boots. These cuties need to be worn in the fall or maybe if you're lucky on a clear winter day.
ReplyDeleteThey won't be worn when you are slopping through snow and sleet to get to work or to shovel the drive.
But they sure are cute,,,,,,,,,,,right?
I think I could be a shootie fan if I could find a pair I loved. You look especially gorgeous in that first photo with that lighting and that smile. Wow! XO, Jill
ReplyDeleteI love them! Ariane xxxxx
ReplyDeleteShooties! Love it, and I can see why you got a second pair- they rock!
ReplyDeleteVictoria~I thought so too when I first got them, but I find I wear them so much more than I thought! Stay-tuned...
ReplyDeleteLinda~I get soooo tired of them choking my feet...
Meagan~thanks, and I do love this collared shrug--great for fall.
Joy~they are comfortable AND versatile--trust me!
Patti~they would be great for you in FL! It would satisfy your boots fix and not be hot! (as in temperature!)
Deja pseu~ankle boots are my new current fave too--I'm only wearing high boots when the weather dictates...
Judith~They are a great spring/fall shoe when you arent ready for full on boots yet.
Heather~isnt it awful? Those 5"heels are too much! I admire Rachel Zoe wearing them thru herr pregnancy! They are tough to find here too--I have too really look..
Coastal~very practical and comfortable. I'll be wearing my black pair also soon..
Vanessa~the tights work this time of year--bare legs are cold and nylons? ugh.
Anne~of course they arent practical for winter--thing spring and fall. I know what you mean, I thought I would never wear them; I was wrong!
Reva~Glad to hear it GF!
Bug~thanks and thanks for dropping by!
Tammy~that's for sure! But I cant wear those high heeled things in the winter either.
Jill~I am a little washed out in the photo--I had my light meter set at cloudy and then the sun came out!
Ariane~I can see you in these..
Bella~and I should be posting them soon too~
Thanks for the comment and the honor of being grouped in the Joplin category!
ReplyDeleteLove YOU!!!!!!!!!

Those shoes are darling!
ReplyDeleteThose are the most beautiful shoes! Since I live in Fl. you can give them to me in the 6 months you are in your yucky boots...lol
ReplyDeleteHi Paula
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog; I love your style! I am north of Boston, too. I tried to find these shooties after seeing your pictures, but had no luck!
