I wear an ankle boot every day. Literally. That’s all I wear. To me, ankle boots are the closest thing to a slipper without looking like you’ve given up on life. They slip on and off easily, they’re not constricting, and they go with everything. And if, you’re sort of on the shorter side like I am, they still make you look long. I’m not sure what my move is gonna be when summer rolls around because my feet have not seen the light of day in months and months: My feet are the Howard Hughes of my body, sans the urine jars. (If you are unfamiliar with Hughes and urine jars, please Wikipedia it, as it’s a reference you should know.) Well, this got dark really fast. My point was supposed to be that you should get yourself some ankle boots. I tend to gravitate towards suede for some reason. Maybe it’s because it gives them that fuzzy look I like so much in slippers. And don’t worry, I leave the house often (albeit, hesitantly). Bonus: Ankle boots are pretty much on sale at this point in the season.
