After debating the merits of white versus black cowboy boots for fall for a solid ten minutes, one of my most fashionable friends dropped a bomb in the group chat: booties are back. Naturally I immediately spiraled and fell down a very blue-suede-inspired rabbit hole and ended up with a wish list the size of Texas.
While I’m willing to admit that the bootie never really went away, I do firmly believe it’s been overshadowed by over-the-knee numbers for far too long. Personally, I can’t wait to debut every single snakeskin, buckle-clad, and point toe pair this season.
