booties

I must confess that I am not so partial to closed-toe shoes. I am simply happier in flip flops. But, that preference poses problems as the seasons change and the temperature drops.

So, I find it rather surprising, given the aforementioned aversion to proper shoes, that I find myself recently obsessed with booties.


booties.


even the word itself is offputting.

but, nonetheless, here I sit, longing for a pair.

actually two. (at times, I can be very greedy)

This persistent new preoccupation took hold shortly after I spied this cover on one of my favorite blogs:

so good.



I sourced this version and think it would do just fine. Kind of like an outdoor slipper. Which really is a near-cousin to the flip flop:




And then, for the occasions when I'm feeling more fancy, because I am experimenting with being more fancy, this pair is speaking to me:
I know. I know. I need to save my money now that I am acting as my own infertility insurer. But, for some reason, I just can't shake the want.


Though, maybe, if the unthinkable does occur, I can commission another one of my favorite bloggers to knit a pair of these:

Because maybe booties are just for babies after all.

  1. I love those JCrew moccasins - so perfect for Fall. I can just imagine walking through the falling leaves with those shoes and a warm fleece. Makes me almost want Fall to arrive!
