Suz, i have 3 pairs of black booties and 5 pairs of long black boots...all different

For me they are a staple. I also added this year a pair of light colored long boots and booties so I feel I have that covered. With YLF and Angie's help I think I am learning how best to wear my black footwear. I don't wear all black as often as I used to and I am more thoughtful re my hose choices too.

One of my recent observations is that as a blond if I don't think it through I can create what looks like on outfit on the bottom and another on my top half so I have to sure when I do black footwear that it "flows" with the whole outfit (not sure if that makes sense.

Suz, I like the navy boots a d could see those working for you, and I love the idea of grey...but I am not opposed to the black either:)

Well Suz I think the DVs are an excellent choice for you in black or blue - I like the taupe also but would ask myself when would you choose them rather than the Reports. But I have dark hair so the number of black booties I can appreciate is pretty limitless.

I'm coming late to this game, but I want to put my vote in for a pair of grey booties instead of another black pair. I bought a pair of medium grey booties last fall and they quickly became my favorite pair. Like Sveta said, they seemed to go with everything. And this is from a "do boots actually come in another color than black?" diehard.
