Oh dear. The Matisse booties come in dalmation print.

Yes, I did it. I bought them. $100 after a coupon from Endless. I'm not usually attracted to animal print, but I think they'd look so cute with my white skinnies, and the pattern kinda looks like paint spatters in this colourway... I'm a shopping monster right now!

Rationale is that they simultaneously check off from my list:
- light colored boots for work
- homework from Angie to aquire booties (!)

Gah. Hubs is going to think I've gone insane.

You MUST get booties! Thanks for taking your homework seriously

Yes. I tried the Dalmatian Matisse booties first because they were cream (you know how I love white and cream). I did not like them on my feet at all. They looked too clown-like on bare legs - which is how I wanted to wear the booties. But it sounds like you want to wear them with white skinnies and that will work better I think.

The Matisse booties in the other animal print (the ones that I kept) looked so much better on my bare legs! I just don't know why that is. Those are 10 hour walking shoes. I walked 100 blocks at a fast pace in those booties in NYC - in 83 degrees!

I am curious to see how they work for you, Rae. Of course, I hope that they work out!

I did hesistate and think about the cheetah color for bare legs, too, Angie! But I can't get over my aversion to cat-spots on clothes. Maybe I will get lucky and get a pair with enough black that they won't be too high contrast on my legs? That would be a bonus, but if they can go with work pants, I'll be happy.

Your aversion to cat spots on clothes is hilarious. We all have our quirks that make us who we are

Keep us posted!

You will LOVE your Matisse booties. I LOVE mine and am so glad I do my Angie homework, too, Rae!!! They are stylish, comfortable and I get compliments whenever I wear them. I feel so good in them and you will, too.

So, you've gone to the dogs, have you? Dalmatians, that is? I thought you were a CAT WOMAN, Rae!!!! Glad we're Matisse bootie twins.

Hee. Vicki, maybe my inner cat lady thinks these will be a warning to the neighborhood dogs? o_0 Lol, I don't fully understand my issues with cat-prints, either.

I must thank you and Aida for sporting these booties at the meetup this summer. Seeing them in person really made a difference!

Oh Rae, you're killing me here. I love the dalmation print! I own these booties in the leopard and quite like them, but really wish I had opted for the black and white print when I had the chance.

Well, too late now--my size is no longer available, so at least my budget is safe.

You'll look fab in them; you must post a pic when you get them.

I wouldn't be feeling so hardly done by if I weren't going to have to return the Aldo dalmation print loafers I just received. They are so adorable, DRAT! I ordered my usual size 10, but they are (weirdly) way too small.
