Peep toed booties are a challenging item to wear in the spring 2008 fashion world. Now this is one trend that truly shocks trend newbies– as if ankle boots weren’t challenging enough, right? Don’t worry– we’ve concocted a few combinations that will get you headed on the right path to style stardom.

Start Simple

Find a skirt with a low-key shape like this plaid one here from Tibi. It’s prim and proper, and thus needs a little kick to launch it straight into the world of trendy. It’s totally doable, too, as these peep toe ankle booties are a soft dove gray that inconspicuously blend with your fun, light choice of garb. Consider slipping on a straw clutch to complete the look with some spring panache.

Tip: Softer colored peep-toes will help you ease into the trend– they don’t stand out as much.

Get Your Grease On

Yes, these are a radical departure from your soft little peep-toe boots, but there are some of us who crave maximum impact for their trends. These Heather Booties are more like sandals, which is great for tropical style and hot nights. If you want to tone the look down, find a prim belted tunic with some subtle accents to offset your rough and tumble styles.

Time to Compromise

Just can’t handle peep toed booties? Look for one that shows a bit of skin in another area– the side of your foot! It’s another kind of peep that keeps your toes covered. This could be ultra useful when you’re already nose-high in your ankle boots, and your wardrobe needs a new look.

    I still wouldn’t know how to pull this off! (Not ‘bold’ enough to do it)
