My ankles felt naked so I decided to nix the five inch wedges. Plus, I was going to be walking around all day. No twisted ankles, please.

ACCESSORIES

Betsey Johnson, $65 (from the BF for Valentine's Day)

Forever 21, $5

WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA

In retrospect, shoes without ankle straps would've been a better choice. In the first outfit, I look like I have legs for dayyyyyysss (not really), but in the second picture, I look stumpy because of the straps. Below are some shoes I wish I had in my arsenal to, as my boyfriend would say, "get fitted up."

Senso Diffusion, $235 (Modcloth)

I used to hate ankle boots, especially booties! But, I think they would really work for this outfit! I know. Too Christmas-y. But, I  like the color combo anyway. And, it would really brighten up the outfit.

 Seychelles, $170 (Modcloth.com))

Booties are really starting to grow on me. These are actually ideal because the shaft is cut lower and it looks like they conform to your ankle, which gives you a better looking fit. I hate when there's a gap around the ankle area. I'd just do these in a brighter color. If only they'd have 'em in red or gold!

I couldn't help it. I LOVE THESE! I know they clash, but maybe I change my socks to a solid red or black? I can even go bare?

Qupid Pulse, $32 (Lulus.com)

Another awesome color! I'd just hide the ankle straps. They look like they remove easily. Price doesn't hurt either. Sadly, they're not as cute as the other $100-200 priced shoes.
