Pretty sure anyone who knows me has noticed my love for shoes (or I should say more like an addiction). I always look forward to fall/winter because I get to wear boots. Talking about boots, I like ankle boots the most; and I believe every girl needs to have at least one pair in her closet because it is always in style. If it’s possible, I would wear ankle boots everyday because they are so chic and versatile. Compare with knee-high boots, ankle boots can be worn with almost everything and anything.

It is very fun to shop for ankle boots because there are so many choices. The first thing you should think of is the height: flat, wedge, or heel. Block heels are always nice because they are comfy and easy to dress up/down. The second thing you need to decide is the toe: round, almond, or pointy. Almond toe is a great choice because it has the fine balance of both round and pointy toes so it is not too dressy or casual. Third thing you need to know is you want taller or shorter ankle boots. Taller ones usually cover up the entire ankle; and I tend to find they are a bit harder to style with because they sit higher and tighter. Other things you might also want to decide are colour, texture, and other details such as lace, buckles, or studs.

When I said ankle boots can be very versatile, I mean they really are great for everything: from jeans to shorts, from skirts to maxi dresses, and with tights or without. My favourite is to roll my jeans up a little so I show a little of my ankle (Yes I do like some skin showing). Depends on your mood or plan, you can choose the appropriate booties to go with your outfit. Believe it or not, just one pair of ankle boots can give you many different looks as long as you don’t matter spending time mix and match.
