Open-toe booties: Are they the schizo shoe?

I love an open-toe bootie, but a good friend of mine, who doesn't really care for them, calls them the schizophrenic shoe because they have one foot in the summer (open toe) and one in the fall/winter (bootie).

But that's what I love about the open-toe bootie - that you can wear them year 'round. A great summer nighttime look is a flirty summer dress and an open-toe bootie. Just as great is a wool shift dress, printed tights and a fun pair of open-toe booties.

My favorite look, however, is a pair of skinny jeans tucked into a pair of tall open-toe booties.

Here are some of my favorite schizo booties:

This open-toe boot is both cute and affordable. At $49.99, you can fit the Ardiente Secret Short Lee Peep Toe into any budget.

You can have both your toes and heel out in this Michael Kors Naples Open Toe Bootie, but it will cost you. Buy these on sale for $206.

You toes may be chilly in this Maxstudio Zimbabive bootie, but your legs will be warm in the taller version of an open-toe bootie. This sells for $139.

I saved the best for last. I ordered these Corso Como Christian Peep Toe Bootie over the weekend from Haute Look. They're sold out on the private sale website, but ladies you may be able to find them somewhere else.
