Fall Trend You Think You Hate, But You Don't: Booties & Oxford Heels

I've been watching the new fall trends in the magazines and the shoeboot/bootie and oxford heel is a trend that definitely has me intrigued. I've always loved chunky, fun and eccentric shoes, so I know this is something I've gotta try.

Booties especially are such a dramatic look, I did some research online for how to be a funky fashionista in booties and here are some suggestions for how to successfully pull off this look:

- worn best with long tunic tops and skinny jeans and short dresses and tights
- also look great with the new menswear look popular this fall - tailor pants and vests
- if you have thick ankles or wide calves go for a style that is not too chunky or dainty
- don't hide them under long dresses or baggy pants - these shoes are to be noticed!

Here are a couple I think are fun enough to still feel fresh, but aren't too much for the office or date night/girl's night out.
