I'm still considering the taupe booties that were the #1 favorite in the bootie show down. However, after wearing the nude booties around the house the other night, I realized two things: 1. they were much more comfortable than I expected due to the built in platform, and 2. the leather was slouching just a wee bit and I wondered if Zappos would consider them "unworn" for the return. So I did what I really wanted to do, and I kept them.
Today's WIW and WID(idn't)W are both nude bootie outfits. I wore the first outfit to work today. I tried on the top at BR yesterday and with my 40% off coupon, it was $25, which seemed like a really good price. I tried this in this size and a smaller size and surprised myself because I liked the slouchier version better. Usually I go straight for fitted. However, I think the fact that the arms and bottom are fitted works well with this. For warmth, I also threw on a pashmina scarf in a slightly lighter color, which worked really well as tone on tone. I didn't get a picture, though.
WID(idn't)W is the second outfit. I initially tried on the booties with the skirt and thought that the white shirt would be a good way to create a very classic look with a bit of interest. I tired it on, untucked, and just didn't love it. It seemed dull. Then I tucked it and took a quick picture and moved on to the WIW outfit. When I looked at it again, though, I realized that tucking made a huge difference. Maybe because the high waist on the skirt then shines, making it a little bit more fashion forward? I'm wondering if I'm crazy or do you all agree?
