Continuing the shoe search this week, today's post is all about black and taupe booties! Last August, I did a fun post on how to style booties. The only problem? I never did the proper research to find booties I could actually see myself wearing. I returned the pair I purchased last fall because I just didn't love them. My J.Crew Field Boots were an easy fix, but they were definitely not booties. Though I plan to pull out those boots in the coming weeks, I decided it was time to reinvestigate the bootie trend -- and see if there was a pair which really called my name. Since booties have proved their staying power, it is time to make a pair my own. 

I picked a few of my favorites in the round-up above--and included a few bonus pairs too! If money grew on trees, I would buy a pair of black and a pair of taupe booties. (Too bad money doesn't grow that way!) Are you embracing the bootie trend or are you slowly warming up to them like me? I'd love to hear your thoughts. xoxo {av}
