Sam Edelman bootie in white or taupe?

I bought the taupe suede because the white leather fringe ones remind me of the 80s or 90s white western fringe boots in a way that is tacky to me. I liked googled pics of people wearing the taupe. I already have taupe suede booties & black booties, including Minnetonka fringe ones & knee high Minnetonka tobacco or whiskey or cognac colored ones. I figured 2 pairs of taupe suede booties a waste & I do want white booties. Sometimes though a style looks good in one colour or material but not another right? Should I just keep the taupe & look for something else in white like a pointy toe or open toe cage kinda bootie or something more modern, less western? I will end up with 2 taupe booties but I like this bootie in this colour. I could return them & use the money for the white bootie when I find it, which would be the smart thing to do given my budget & space & boot/bootie collection. Is this style on the way out anyway?

As per Angie's blog on priorities I don't need white booties. I have white converse chucks, 2 pairs of white platforms that i need to post on here for opinions on dated or not, snakeskin heeled sandals & snakeskin cowboy boots that are black on top but white python on bottom, white jack rogers.

I don't have the wardrobe for it so much right now but I've always wanted white patent mod 60s booties. It's hard for me to wear patent & I've never found the booties.

Hmmm, this is tough. What were you planning to wear with the white booties?

The taupe are a no-brainer, easy to wear. The Louie is a best-seller and has come out in many colors so I don't think the style is going anywhere quick. I like the Boho Western vibe that the fringe adds.

I'm not sure exactly Denise but I was thinking white jeans. I suppose anything I would wear the taupe with so dresses, jeans, shorts. I think you're right about the taupe. I was just wondering if I needed 2 taupe booties. The others I have are these http://www.google.com/search?q.....U2zCjiM%3A

Also I think the taupe will look good with white bu they are dark taupe so it won't be a white on white look but that's ok. I don't have to do that. I guess I don't "need" white booties. Do I need these as well as the Marant ones though? I think they give a different look.

The last pair are quite grunge and the fringe pairs are much more elegant. I have lots of doubles like that, a black pair of moto booties and a sleek pair. same for tan booties, and boots. I say you can have both. But right now the white footwear is really trending so I would suggest you go for the white, they are super fun with the fringe and bookend with white or off white tops or scarves if you are a brunette. These are the first white booties I have been tempted by, shame on you

I'm going to see if I can try the white ones on in person somewhere.
