Spring, as lovely as it is, is a tricky season to dress for - as witnessed by the many missteps in looks put together by professional stylists and as discussed in the pages of this young blog.
What makes it so tough?
The weather, for one. Its sheer unpredictability, the rapid change from sun to rain, from warm to cold, make it super rough on planning a good look - an outfit perfectly appropriate for dreary chill will not only feel but also look out of place if the weather turns.
The other problem is shoes. We are all sick by now of knee high boots, the staple of winter-time. What to wear then? The problem is especially acute if you're inclined to wearing skirts. Too cold for sandals it is too warm for knee-highs, and what is left in between?
There are, of course, pumps. And for those who work in an atmosphere where pumps do not appear overly dressy - you are in luck. The rest of us, however, need a substitution.
There are, of course, flats. But flats look good only on a bare foot. And sometimes you need a sock in this weather!
Solution 1: The Ankle Bootie.
Especially in a paler shade than black.
But not brown.
A more versatile tan or gray.
And not too-cowboy-like one.
A little rough, a little refined. Like so:
