Have fun styling both these and the black ones!!!! &nbsp;I have ones in both shades myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1367724 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 17:39:35 +0000 shedev 1367724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 4'11 and I wear booties all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1367656 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:59:40 +0000 crutcher 1367656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shame on you...I wasn't supposed to be pushing the magic button but these babes are just way cute...Definitely wear booties...these would be perfect...I havn't met a boot I didn't like on some level and these just tweak my fancy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1367226 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:39:29 +0000 Becca 1367226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love booties. I'm in the architecture field and booties are perfect for wearing when touring construction job sites but still feeling like I'm dressed stylishly. I've always worn them under boot-cut pants in the past.... I'm now trying to push myself and show them off with ankle skinny pants and skirts.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365848 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 01:21:56 +0000 mirrorlight 1365848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Marie and Julie! Hearing from others helps me shed some of those reservations. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to muster up the courage to try out skinny jeans... It takes me a bit to get out of my comfort zones sometimes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365803 Tue, 30 Sep 2014 00:45:52 +0000 JulieJohn 1365803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? I've never felt that booties were off limits for any height. I'm 5'0" and have been enjoying booties very much the last few years. </p> <p>Dang, those are so cute! I'm a sucker for fringe. Your look is excellent in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365715 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 23:29:03 +0000 N-Marie 1365715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those look really cute!</p> <p>I completely understand your reservations- I'm even shorter than you (5'1) and it took me quite awhile to warm up to the idea of booties. But in the right combination, I think they look great, even on us shorties.I now have 4 or 5 pairs!&nbsp;I do wear all of mine with heels, to steal a bit of height, &nbsp;and I roll up the pant leg&nbsp;so that some skin is showing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365714 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 23:25:30 +0000 mirrorlight 1365714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I can't wait for the black boots to arrive!

You have a pair of booties. :)</p> <p>I am 5'2" also, and I wear booties. But all of mine have heels (high heels)&nbsp;on them. I think that maybe subconsciously I have always felt that flat booties would read too heavy on my small frame. Is that what you have felt?</p> <p>I think the jeans rolls look great. Some forum members like there to be just a sliver of skin between the roll and the bootie, so you could experiment with that too.</p> <p>They look comfy. I hope the black works out as well as the brown! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365052 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 02:04:19 +0000 mirrorlight 1365052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aubergine, thanks! I am really glad I decided to try them on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365050 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 02:02:53 +0000 mirrorlight 1365050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missey, I laughed at the first part of your reply As soon as I tried them on and realized they were probably going to work, I wondered out loud if they had them in black, then I checked online when I was home and lo and behold they did. Instantly ordered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365038 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 01:42:18 +0000 Anonymous 1365038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look perfect to me!</p> <p>FWIW, I'm even shorter and wear booties all the time when it's cool out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1365029 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 01:25:07 +0000 Missey 1365029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a super cute bootie!&nbsp; I'll have to look there because I...WAIT, no, I won't, beacuse I said I wasn't buying anything else this year!&nbsp; But you, you should definitely get those in black, they look great on you...I love the boho vibe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1364961 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 23:28:58 +0000 mirrorlight 1364961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hahah, thanks alaska! I think I avoided them in part because I can't really do heels anymore for that long, even some short ones. I hadn't found any other flat ones I liked until now too. But these seem really versatile, functional, and comfy, and the fringe is up my alley style-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1364958 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 23:23:17 +0000 catgirl 1364958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why would you avoid booties as a short person?&nbsp; Flat booties may be harder to style, but my heeled booties have added height and versatility to my closet.&nbsp;&nbsp;And with&nbsp;pants at regular length they can look like shoes - unless you avoid high vamps.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think these are really cute!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-12#post-1364956 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 23:18:11 +0000 mirrorlight 1364956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a short person (5'2") I'd been avoiding booties the last few years. This weekend I saw some in Target and tried them on – the <a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-mossimo-supply-co-ruthie-fringe-bootie/-/A-15427565#prodSlot=medium_1_1&amp;term=ruthie+bootie" rel="nofollow">Ruthie</a> bootie – and didn't immediately hate them. I left the tag on for a bit at home while I tried them on with several different pairs of jeans and dresses/skirts (that's why it's still on in the pic), but eventually took it off – and ordered another pair of these in black from the website, even! </p> <p>However, I'm hoping I'm not completely deluding myself into thinking these work... I think I would need to roll jeans up a bit more than this when wearing them (and actually mentioned that in another person's post). I think they would also work well with transitioning some of my maxi skirts/dresses into fall outfits. </p>
