I posted an outfit lab earlier this week.

Since then, there have been a few posts about cropped pants with booties (Viva and Unfrumped). Unfrumped rolled hers and wore the higher than ankle boots and I think that might work with the pants I bought. Since I want to wear them in fall and possibly into winter, would it be better to go with black boots to pick up on the black lines in the plaid or a lighter pair in a taupe neutral to lower the contrast?

I remembered an award I received at work a few months ago that came with a $150 gift card and thought I might go looking at boots on the weekend.
