Gainesvillista: Booties, booties everywhere

Ok girls, I’m just going to give you a huge fashion tip: UGGs are not flattering. 

There are so many great alternatives for rocking stylish footwear this season. My current favorite? Booties! They’re not only chic, but also functional and versatile. Plus, they come in so many different styles. Throw out those UGGs, or make them into a fancy throw blanket with all that fur, and pay attention.

Although riding boots are cute, they’ve been around for a while now. Booties can be lace-up, buckled, heeled, flat, suede or leather. The list goes on and on. My favorite part of the trend is pairing lacy or patterned socks that peek out from the tops of them, especially when I pair them with tights and a cute dress. I love the layered look on your feet because it's different and unexpected.

Nordstrom has great options for long-lasting booties. DSW has great options, too, that are a little more affordable. My favorite booties are Zigi Soho, which have similar versions in stock by Steve Madden. I also have suede booties by Dirty Laundry that are perfect for a cold winter day.

Throw out those UGGs, and invest in a pair of booties. They will instantly jazz up any outfit you wear this season.
