Transitional Style: White Booties Styled Four Ways

I am sure that most of you have heard or read about the devastating wildfires on the west coast, and if you do not think that climate change is real I strongly encourage you to reconsider. Each year gets worse, and over this last week Seattle's air quality index has been ranked as one of the world's worst cities with hazardous levels of air pollution driven primarily by wildfire smoke. Since I could not go outside to take outfit photos this week, I decided to go back in my archives to share four ways to style one of my favorite transitional pieces in my closet: white booties. I just noticed that I have not yet styled these booties this year here on the blog, so it is perfect timing to bring them back to top of mind. These looks were originally posted between fall 2017 and spring 2019, and I personally think all four of these looks are wearable today--but I would love to hear what you think. Please scroll through for more photos and details on all four ways to style white booties for the summer to fall transition.

This first outfit idea is a layered look that is a perfect desk-to-dinner option, when we all go back to our respective offices and normal lives! I styled a shift dress over a white button up shirt, then added white booties and a red bag for a pop of color. A little bit 1960's Twiggy mod, a little bit Wednesday Adams, and this outfit is still one of my favorites that I have ever posted. I absolutely love the combo of black and white with a pop of red! This outfit was originally posted way back in November 2017, and you can view that post here.

This second outfit idea styles a pair of white booties with a bold striped sweater and distressed jeans for a casual weekend look. While I know that a sweater, jeans, and booties is hardly a new idea, white booties are a bold statement piece to take this outfit combo to the next level. They also help to emphasize the white stripes in this sweater, don't you think? I originally styled and posted this look in September 2018, for a gorgeous fall day, and you can read that post here.

I picked this third outfit idea because it contains a key piece that has maintained relevancy over the last couple of years and is on trend this fall: a colorblocked cardigan! Pairing a colorblocked cardigan with white booties is yet another way to take the sweater/jeans/booties outfit combo to the next level and make it work-appropriate when we all get back to our offices and normal lives. This cardigan is so cozy, and although I only posted it once on my blog, it has been a go-to layer for chilly days and it is about time to bring it out again with these booties for the fall season. I originally posted this outfit in October 2018, and you can read that post here.

This fourth and final outfit idea is another casual look to style on a crisp fall day, while temperatures are still warm enough for bare legs but chilly enough to merit throwing on a sweater. While I could have styled this cropped sweater and denim skirt with a tan or brown bootie/belt combo, I chose white booties and a white belt for this late summer to early fall transitional look for a brighter, more noticeable statement. I originally posted this outfit in April 2019, and you can read that post here.
