I absolutely love these booties that Thomas got me for my birthday. I wear them with everything- jeans, dresses, skirts…you name it! I have always been really hesitant about wearing flat booties because I thought they would cut off my legs and make me appear shorter than I already am (I’m 5’5”). I don’t know if it’s the color or the cut of the opening, but they are the first booties that actually elongate my legs. I paired them with this super comfortable Rory Beca dress and threw over my new parka for a dressed down casual look.

Those booties really are awesome, they have a smaller opening for your ankle than most I’ve seen. Lovin your cozy look and how you polished it off with a great lip color. Very sweet!

I love the winter-y jacket thrown over that pretty blue dress. And Thomas has good taste, the booties are chic and flattering. Though 5’5 is NOT short!

The plaid poker coat is versatile. It goes with dresses like the way you wore and also for all casual wears. It is a love.

I’m a couple inches shorter than you and I agree – it’s hard to do flat booties! I think the key is having a short enough skirt…you have to show enough leg to make them look longer, but without looking skanky, of course :)
