I have a love/hate relationship with booties.

No seriously – being somewhat “petite” (5 4″ to be exact), I have somewhat of a love-hate relationship with booties. Without those incredibly long legs you see all over Instagram, in real life – booties can definitely cut your leg/ankle off and make your legs look shorter. Hey, it happens – that’s real life.

But I found these kicks: slip-on booties and the love affair is back. Slip-ons seem to be the big trend for fall right now – plus they give your ankle plenty of room to breathe and they don’t cut off your leg in awkward places. I found these Vince Camuto kicks at Nordstrom, and love the versatile color that pairs nicely with all things fall. I also love the idea of booties that don’t cover your ankle — especially because they are more realistic for fall in Texas temperatures. This dress – is a no-brainer when it comes to layering and transitioning into darker and warmer colors and cooler temps. This Free People cardigan is a total staple and it’s actually on sale at Nordstrom right now. These sunglasses are also a must. I’m really loving this outfit for transitions and I hope you love it too. You can find it all at Nordy’s, the rest of Vince Camuto’s shoe selection here, or mouse on down below. XOXO
