Smittie, I agree -- even with my grey hair, I like these booties best with a white item elsewhere in the outfit to bookend. In spring that is easy for me because I wear a lot of white .
Elizabeth, laughing so hard! We are virtual twins, down to the grey hair!
Lisa, those white boots look right up Angie's alley! Great find. And I hear you on the shearling boots. Enough already!!
Angie, I really like the Logans, also, but already had bought these ones when the Logans came out. And I figured if I wasn't wearing one white bootie, I would hardly wear two. (Actually -- I have a lower heeled white bootie from Israel already, my Imeldas, which have only had a few wears!!) The truth is, when I move to a more temperate climate, I'll be wearing white and light grey/ silver booties/ shoes/ sandals for a good portion of the year. I have learned so much from watching your bookending tricks and it is such a great way to bring cohesion to an outfit. My hair is not truly bookended by white -- but white flatters me much more than it did when my hair was dark blonde (esp. with darker elements for contrast) which means I am wearing more white solids and more patterns that incorporate white; in fact, I'd go so far as to say that if a pattern does not include white or grey, it's almost not worth looking at any more. This means I have a lot of scope to add white footwear for balancing. Yay!! I love the freshness it brings.
For me, the 2 inch height is perfect -- that is part of what makes the CKs super good for me. I also sized up a half size (to a 7 vs. 6.5) because that way I can wear them with a thicker sock or insole if I want. At 7, they are on the loose and slightly long side. It's always a trade off for me. 6.5 North American is just barely on the edge of too small whereas 37 is perfect.
