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) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-ladies---post-your-booties-with-bare-legs-outfits-here/page/2#post-755081 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:29:57 +0000 Suz 755081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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!</p> <p>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! </p> <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>I have a light brown (smog) bootie - shown here with tights and with bare legs. (pics 2/3)</p> <p>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)</p> <p>I don't have a pic with my Doc Marcies and a dress right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-ladies---post-your-booties-with-bare-legs-outfits-here/page/2#post-755049 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 06:12:00 +0000 PinkLemonade 755049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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. </p> <p>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! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-ladies---post-your-booties-with-bare-legs-outfits-here/page/2#post-755035 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 04:48:46 +0000 JulieJohn 755035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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!!!

I am 5'1" and have muscular calves as well. The bare-legged (nude hosiery) doesn't work to my eye (I just don't feel comfortable but love the look on others) and I won't be wearing that. However, I have bought a pair of dark blue booties that I adore and since I wear a lot of blue, I have been wearing them with dark-blue opaque tights with skirts and dresses to create a column of blue. I love the look! I also have black booties and I'll be doing the same with black tights. My light brown booties will be worn only with pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-ladies---post-your-booties-with-bare-legs-outfits-here#post-754639 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:10:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 754639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to chime in &amp; say I've never seen so many gorgeous bootie wearers in one place before....you all look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-ladies---post-your-booties-with-bare-legs-outfits-here#post-754638 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:10:06 +0000 sarah 754638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I do have some examples, as well, so here are mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-ladies---post-your-booties-with-bare-legs-outfits-here#post-754635 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:07:49 +0000 sarah 754635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I've LOVING this.

I liked these booties because they fit tightly against my ankle, and aren't too high. I tried on tons and tons of booties, and lots of them hit me at a spot that would rub annoyingly against my ankle-- clearly they were designed for someone with longer legs. You'd think they'd be smart enough to scale the height based on shoe size - I wear a 6! -- but it seems that the same boot in size 6 has a shaft height identical to the size 10? What's up with that? Also, to my eye, having a more pointed toe has a bit of an elongating effect. I do not mind these with midi lengths (see the sheath dress). </p> <p>Then I found the booties in the last link: they are everything you'd think you would NOT want, if you were petite. Round toe, black, scrunchy, wedge, AND they come up much higher on the ankle (yet still fit quite snug). And somehow, they still work. It might just be that my eye became accustomed to the look. </p>
