Fashion confession: I have thick legs. So thick that I often cannot fit in all those trendy, hot knee high boots. This has made me sad for a very long time. Sure, we don’t have a whole lot of “sweater weather” down here in Miami, but when we do, my footsies ache to wear a beautiful pair of boots. I guess you can blame it on the you always want what you can’t have theory. This is where booties come in to save the day – now these I can wear without a problem and they still have the look and feel of a good fall boot! Plus, they are more than appropriate for our tropical weather as they aren’t as intense as their taller counterparts. Here are some of my favorites that I have stumbled on the web:

I have the same problem with a lot of knee-high boots! My calves are kind of ridiculously muscular and that doesn’t always work. Fun fact: if they’re real leather & anywhere close, they can be stretched though. 🙂 I bought a pair at Aldo last year & they stretch them for you for free!
As for booties, I feel like a lot of them are super-cute, but it’s hard for me to know how to style them!
