I also plan to wear them with my cream skinny jeans. &nbsp; I, too, am wanting to "light up"!&nbsp; It just feels more modern.&nbsp; I bought the Munro animal print bootie last year and really like it too.&nbsp; It is surprising how much it goes with.&nbsp; </p> <p>Regarding practicality . . . I was hoping to spray the cream Petties and wear them through the winter except in really slushy snow but I'm not sure how well that will work -- I guess I need to do some more research/thinking on how well they will hold up (I certainly don't want to ruin them right off the bat!). </p> <p>Oh, and I agree that the booties will go great with the color palette you list! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329840 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 12:13:37 +0000 viva 1329840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie. These are<b> so </b>different!! I do like them both, tho, and I cna see both fitting in well with your color palette. Can you get both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329835 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 12:02:46 +0000 Thistle 1329835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are beautiful, but they seem very different to me. As if you are choosing between two different wardrobe holes to fill, if you will.</p> <p>If your budget permits, both would work, and I don't think they would "get in each other's way". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329765 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 05:00:38 +0000 Alana in Canada 1329765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*whimper* so beautiful, so impractical.&nbsp;</p> <p>(For me.

I agree, last winter was just evil.</p> <p>My desire for shoes and enjoyment of them does not have a correct and proportional relationship to the time that they actually spend on my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329562 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 23:47:13 +0000 Suz 1329562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. Totally hear you on that!! And yes....la Canadienne is the way to go. Or similar.&nbsp;</p> <p>So do you wear footwear inside your house? I ask because with last year's winter, I found that all my gorgeous booties pretty much went unworn from mid-December until the end of April. It was heartbreaking. In previous years we'd had enough spells without snow that I could pull them out for a day or two....but last year, I was in slippers at home all the time. Occasionally I put the booties on in the house just because I wanted to wear them (and after all, the soles were not exactly dirty...).&nbsp;</p> <p>My big fun was talking WIW photos. I got to put my ostensible footwear on then.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329557 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 23:37:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1329557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My winter climate is pretty much the same as yours as far as I can see. I have a separate dog walk / exercise capsule for my extended outdoor time. It mostly involves La Canadienne and Patagonia. I don't think I can get light color into that unless it's those white moon boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329548 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 23:28:36 +0000 Suz 1329548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both options but see them as serving slightly different purposes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am always trying to "lighten up" in winter. It's tough in my climate.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the Chie booties are dressier and more feminine/ even bombshell&nbsp;and would work well with dresses and skirts as well as pants. They would blend easily with other prints, IMO. I have several pairs of animal print footwear (one leopard and one snakeskin) and I find they harmonize surprisingly well with almost everything. Maybe not plaid pants, but otherwise, it's pretty easy.&nbsp;</p> <p>The J. Crew ones are gorgeous, too. They seem more like a trouser boot to me although they might also work with skirts and dresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>With fair hair, I love having a lighter bootie option for winter. It's great for bookending with my hair and allowing me to wear lighter toppers/ jackets. But in my climate I still find it pretty tough to wear light footwear in true winter. Keep in mind that I am almost always walking, in a very slushy, snowy, grubby city with uneven sidewalks. From late December through to April, it's pretty much snow boots when I am outdoors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329525 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:57:05 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1329525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no problem with print anywhere as long as it doesn't look like a total mismatch with everything else. I thought maybe since the boots are dots rather than all out leopard markings, it might be easier to mix and maybe catch lighter color hair as opposed to dark boot picking up dark clothes colors. My typical (but not set in stone) fall look is something like blue / black jacket or cardigan, darkish print top, jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329520 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:49:12 +0000 Aida 1329520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The JCrew booties are gorgeous, certainly would work with all the colors you've listed. The Chie Mihara booties have some blue in them, so they should also work quite well with those colors (plus they have that strip of cognac which is fun). They're lovely! How do you feel about print on your feet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lighter-color-bootie-opinions#post-1329518 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 22:46:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1329518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking I would like to incorporate some lighter pieces into the fall / winter look this year, and in particular try some lighter color shoes.</p> <p>My existing overall color palette for the season tends to be blue, grey, black, purple/plum, some teal.</p> <p>I could see these J Crew cream booties fitting in easily. (Finds, below)</p> <p>But would these Chie Mihara or similarly light animal booties work, or be too jarring with the other colors? <a href="http://www.chiestore.com/mend_leo_1429.3php" rel="nofollow">http://www.chiestore.com/mend_leo_1429.3php</a> </p>
