Can someone point out to me how I can wear (higher) heeled booties with short or long skirts?

I see tons of stuff styled that way online with models for retailers, but I'd like to see some real life pics as well.

I wear them with shorter skirts (knee high or shorter) but not with midi skirts.
I wear black ones with black opaques, and I wear camel/nude ones with bare legs. I don't do the nude ones all that much with a skirt because most of my winter/autumn skirts or dresses suit black better and I need the warmth.

With my legs keeping the contrast low between leg and boot helps, as does a shorter skirt. Other people can rock different looks though.

I don't have any pics sorry!

Hope someone has some photos and answers here too. I was going to ask about footwear in the cooler months with maxi's as in summer I wore flat sandals. Have a nice black maxi that I would wear if I found something footwear wise to wear with it.

What style of boots are we talking about? And do you mean maxi skirts?

I'm with kiwigal in that I don't wear booties with midi skirts. It's just too stumpifying. I tend to wear heeled booties with skirts that end around the knee. When I wear a miniskirt, I have to be careful with heeled booties, because they can make the outfit veer too "sexy," but in a bad way (read: trashy). However, I have found that if I wear my black booties with black opaque tights along with said miniskirt, that really helps mitigate the "trashy" factor.

Shannon wears skirts with booties a lot. You could look up some of her WIWs.

I know I feel more comfortable pairing booties and skirts when the bootie is lower in the shaft, at least in front. I also tend to pair mine with tonal hosiery, though I *might* branch out beyond that this year. We'll see.
Have you seen Angie's blog post on the subject? If not I'll dig up a link.
