Dear Fabulous File...

I just scored some adorable black booties with bow details on the side.

It was love at first sight, but now I'm stumped with how to dress around them. Can you help me out?

Dear Annie,
Way to fearlessly take on one of fall's hottest footwear trends!
Because an ankle bootie can visually shorten legs--cutting you off right at the ankle--it's important to make every effort to elongate the leg when rockin this style.

With that said, I'd snag a pair of opaque black tights, a cute fall shirt dress that falls above the knee and layer it with a body-skimming vest or cropped jacket to play with proportion in an interesting yet flattering way. Add a hip handbag and go-with-everything bangles, and you're good to go!
