Wedge Boots & Booties

A comfortable shoe is a must when you walk to most of your destinations. But, I’m not about to wear my running shoes with anything but workout clothes.

Apepazza Amsterdam, $166.99 from 6pm

As you know, shoes with platforms are much easier to walk in since the heel doesn’t feel as high to you. The wedge is the ultimate platform, which means easier to walk in, comfortable and luckily, on trend.

Pour la Victoire Chaney, $177.99 from Endless

Wear wedge boots and booties as you would other boots and booties. Since the wedge is on trend right now, you will instantly update any look. In the spring, wedge booties will work with shorts and rompers.

I’m currently waiting for Pour la Victoire’s Gwenda wedge boot from ideeli to arrive. I hope the UPS man pays a visit tomorrow!

Bootie, Bootie, Bootie Rockin’ Everywhere!

Not the song- the shoe! Booties are mini-boots that are versatile, easy to wear and fun. Wear your booties with trousers, skinny jeans or pants, cropped jeans or pants, dresses, skirts, leggings, jeggings, tights…anything! The great thing about booties, versus boots, is that you can wear them in the fall, winter and spring. Booties are a must for people that live in a climate with mild winters.

You definitely need a pair of brown and black booties. Ankle booties are pairs that are a bit higher are both great choices; go with the one you like the most. Once you get the basics covered, start looking for colored booties, like purple, blue, gray and more.

Simple booties are extremely versatile, but there are pairs available with embellishments and details that will take you to the next level.
