I need help with footwear selection!

I have been building my footwear collection for fall and winter. In the pictures you can see what I have now:
- tan knee-high boots - old;
- grey slouchy boots - new;
- plum booties - new;
- turquoise flats - new;
- taupe casual flats - old;
- black pumps - old.
I also have black walking shoes and some shoes I can wear with bootcuts.
I can spend maybe another $200 on shoes now. Please help me to decide what else do I need. This is what my fall/winter wardrobe consists of:
- black and ink blue skinnies;
- black sheath;
- olive sheath;
- striped grey /black A-line dress;
- taupe A-line dress;
- charcoal grey shift dress;
- brown A-line skirt;
- black fit-and-flare skirt;
- medium grey pencil skirt.
So if I can add at the most 2 pairs of footwear what styles and colors you would choose in my place?
Thanks for your help!

What do you wear to work? I'm thinking maybe some low-heeled shoes that will go with those frocks....maybe red, metallic or animal print?

You need some Fidjis.

I LOVE those plum booties on you. I think a grey pair, similar to that, would be great with your fall/winter wardrobe. Actually, I think those plum booties would be fab with most of what you listed so maybe a grey pair would be redundant. I just read Joy's comment, I vote for some color or metallic.

How did I miss your plum booties before? They fit you so beautifully (as people have discussed gapping)! What brand are they?

I have to think that you won't wear your turquoise flats much in the heart of winter, so maybe something to fill the gap they leave. . .

I love my metallics - the dark silvery ones - sort of platinum. They function as grey but are more interesting (to me). So I vote something in a not too bright grey metallic.

I also have fallen for the leopard flat trend. If you feel comfortable in leopard print feet, they could be very cute. (I do wonder if next fall/winter when I pull them out of summer hiding, if I'll they look a bit dated already, but I am willing to take my chances

Oooooo those plum booties and the turquoise flats are gorgeous!! x

A very nice collection, Sveta! Small but deliberate and meaningful. No nonsense! Like that.

I vote for a pair of long black boots and black booties.

There you go, Sveta! I know on another thread you mentioned that you had some reluctance about black boots (too stark of a contrast, or something along those lines?), but I think, with the clothes you have mentioned having, black boots/booties would be so versatile for you. And, there is soooo much to choose from right now!

Here are 440 pairs, all boots and booties in black/size 12, for you to check out :)!

Joy / Kelly, I would really like to get pewter, red and animal shoes - flats or low heeled pumps. But here I go again - color vs. neutral..That's why I need this sanity check.
Marianna, I have already though about Fidji - just need to get used to that price for a pair of shoes
Sara, these are Clarks Sweet Cone booties from YLF store. I have not really worn them yet as they are too warm but it is coming...
Angie, actually I was thinking dark brown or cognac tall boots and black booties...maybe I should reconsider to both black?:-)
Jonesy, thanks, I will check it out!

Another vote for either booties or tall boots (or one of both). Perfect for wintery weather. Black booties could go with everything in your F/W wardrobe. Black boots would also go with everything, but dark brown or cognac would bookend nicely with your hair and still work with many outfits.

If you are on the fence with black, what about a pair of tall black boots and a pair of dark brown booties. This way you can see which you wear more of and always uupgrade/replace next season or during end of season sales.

Scarlet

Personally, black heeled oxfords or booties from Clarks are a fall/winter staple for me--something that looks fashionable but classic and is good for lots of walking.

I'm new so just learning people's styles. I just posted in another thread about the purple oxfords I just got. I see you have some great purple booties already, so what about a pair of heeled olive oxfords, like these?

Hopefully the link works, if not it's the Miz Mooz Isabelle Oxford...

Hi, Alaska, and welcome to the forum. Thanks for the suggestion, I will look for oxfords if i can find them with heels 2" and under (this is my limit :-()
