One trend that I'm all for though is booties! Although, I just realized booties might be more of a staple than a trend at this point; I just saw this post reviewing 3 years of booties and it was posted in 2012! Anyway, I just started wearing booties last year so they are new to me! Recently I've figured out how to wear booties with skirts too.
It took me a while to get the combination right. The first few times I tried booties with a skirt my legs looked short and stumpy. If you have average calves (14" around) it seems effortless! Erin from Living in Yellow recently posted about booties in every combination and she looks great! If you have bigger calves like me (16 inches) it takes a little more effort, but I have found two combinations that work.You can either (1) wear any style booties with matching opaque tights, or (2) you can pair bare legs with a skirt that hits the top of your knee (or shorter) with booties that have a deep "V" in the front to help elongate your leg as seen here.

What about you? Do you like off the shoulder or cold shoulder tops? What about distressed denim: yay or nay? Have you tried your booties with skirts?
