Bootie Call

This retro trend kicked up its heels last fall only to come back for an encore again this autumn. While the bootie made its debut during the ’80s and resurrected itself with the plethora of New Wave fashions that walked the runway last year, this season they take on a more sophisticated look. Even though booties come in a variety of heel heights, go for a high version with a boot that hits right below the ankle. Pair your booties with a short skirt or dress as designers opted to do on the runways or let them stand out from your skinny jeans or narrow trousers. We offer three suggestions that are sure to fit somewhere in your pocketbook.
