I love this thread! It is so helpful and inspirational to me. YLF has helped me reunite with dresses and skirts, and now that I own a few booties I'm gonna have fun letting them all play together! It's a look I never would have tried before, too scary, but now I am just plain excited!!! Thanks, Sarah!

Everyone looks so great! I am going bootie hunting tomorrow. I have some higher ones, but I am after a daintier pair for more styling options.

Slightly off topic, but Alaska girl, what is the dress you are wearing in your first photo? It looks like some others were wearing either the same dress, or a similar one. I really like the layered wraps!

Signing on from China to thank you for this thread, Sarah! I have trouble opening pictures here but I'm going to do my best to send and then will come back later to check out everybody's fab looks!

As you know, I was slow and hesitant to adopt this look (5'4" and muscular calves plus shortish legs.) But I'm loving it now!

I have 4 pair of booties and hope to buy more. Like Chouette, I'd really get a lot of wear from a blue pair, but they aren't easy to find.

Right now I have black lowish heeled ones; I prefer these with black tights but here they are with coloured tights (pic 4). Seeing them here is instructive; with the coloured tights they are leg-shortening, I think, but I wear them anyway.

I have a light brown (smog) bootie - shown here with tights and with bare legs. (pics 2/3)

And my Report Marks which is a near-nude. The Reports are loose on the ankle; the others are snug. I like them both ways! But the Reports are more difficult to wear with trousers unless they are cropped or rolled or bootcut. (pic 1)

I don't have a pic with my Doc Marcies and a dress right now.

What a fun thread! I wear my booties with bare legs quite a lot, especially in summer (though less than what I was thinking after looking through all my photos). I check in at 5'3". Here are a few of mine, some with tights and some without: (oldest at the start)

Such incredible petite bootie and visible legs inspiration from all.

*WOW*

Thank you for this thread! Such a great bunch of inspirational ideas for my short legged 5'4" self.
