Blue Suede Booties

Have you ever looked at an item of clothing or a pair of shoes on someone else - and loved it... but then every time you try them on you think "Oh man! I look like a dork!" ?

Well, that's been me with open toed booties. I see them on other people, other bloggers and I think - Ooooo, I love those! But then every time I try a pair on.... nope.

So, I found these blue suede open toed booties at one of my local thrift stores and I thought, I'm just gonna go for it. I like that the heel is also open (that looks less to me like cutting open the toes was a mistake, lol) and I love the chunky block heel. Plus, who doesn't want to own blue suede shoes... uh, I mean, boots!

I still wasn't sure how to style them, but thankfully, Laura from I Do DeClaire came out with this post just in time: Peep Toe Booties for Fall

As you can see in Laura's post - these booties are waaaay more versatile than I had originally given them credit for! I opted to just go with a mostly monochrome blue outfit, with my fave sweetheart black tee under a navy blazer, my light wash jeans, and a long necklace.

This outfit was super comfortable and easy to wear. I'm thinking I'll pair these booties with more of a jegging next time to have my jeans a little closer to the leg - but, hey, you live, you learn!

What do you think of open toed booties/shoeties? Do you think I'll be able to wear them with tights over the winter? Let me know in the comments!
