Last fall, I scoffed at the bootie trend. I gave excuses for why I couldn’t rock booties myself. Cue the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale–during which I finally came over to the bootie side. I think it took a year of seeing booties on other fabulous ladies before I got comfortable with trying them myself. I picked out these Tory Burch beauties to test the bootie waters and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The pretty outfits above are definitely inspiring my future bootie ensembles.

After prancing around my apartment in my own booties, I think I learned the key to wearing them: confidence. Being unafraid to try them when you’d normally where pumps is essential. I’m already envisioning them with some cute skinny jeans or great leggings. Booties are a step out of my comfort zone, but I know they’ll be one step I won’t regret. Thankfully, these ladies will make it easier for me to add booties into my late summer + early fall rotation. Do you own booties? If so, what’s your favorite way to wear them? 

P.S. If you haven’t taken the bootie plunge, here are a few ideas for you!
