[Shopping] Booties, Booties, Booties, Booties, Rockin Everywhere!

Please tell me someone got the Bubba Sparxxx reference in the title. Please.

I have been seeing booties all over the place this fall/winter. All you lovely blogging ladies are looking adorable in your booties. I have never owned a pair of booties. I think it's a combination of me not knowing how to wear them and the fact that I have never tried on a pair and thought "these look great!".

Most of you ladies are wearing booties with a skirt. I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't tend to wear a lot of skirts. I wear mostly pants. And sometimes dresses, but much more in the summer than in the cooler months. So, what I need from you is the answer to this: Do I buy a pair of booties?

Here's the situation: I was shopping the other day, and tried on these cute little black booties. They're kind of like this:

But they're this faux suede type material. I think it's important to note the style of the cut at the ankle. I want to buy them but I'm having a hard time justifying.

Pro: I actually think they're cute.
Con: I hardly wear skirts and I don't know how else to wear them. Under jeans they may as well be boots I already own, and they just look goofy with skinnies.

Pro: They're cheap - $16.
Con: Cheap is not a reason to buy when I already have plenty of shoes in my closet.

As you can see....I'm conflicted. What would you do?
