"We here at Slaves to Fashion love a good quirky clothing nickname. (Three cheers for flatforms!) That&amp;#39;s why, even at the risk of adding another confusing term to the growing list of befuddling fashion phrases, it&amp;#39;s hard not to refer to this new spring 2012 footwear trend as &amp;quot;shooties.&amp;quot;\nBehold, the sheer bootie. First spotted in New York, peeping out of some Oscar de la Renta gowns, these embellished, mesh-sided heels have turned up at Paris fashion week, at the Vionnet and Sonia Rykiel shows among others.\nPinterestFacebookA model on the runway at Oscar de la Renta&amp;#39;s spring 2012 runway show.\nPHOTO: Oscar de la RentaOscar de la Renta, spring 2012\nPinterestFacebookVionnet backstage at Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2012 collections\nPHOTO: Copyright Mark LeibowitzVionnet, spring 2012\nPinterestFacebookVionnet backstage at Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2012 collections\nPHOTO: Copyright Mark LeibowitzVionnet, spring 2012.

Best part is, you can score a similar pair now. Just do some sleuthing on shopping.glamour.com for either &amp;quot;sheer booties&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;mesh booties.&amp;quot;\nOn a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being &amp;quot;blech&amp;quot; and 10 being &amp;quot;howdoigetmyhandsonthosenow!&amp;quot;), how much are you loving this new And if you&amp;#39;re not down with the &amp;quot;shooties&amp;quot; term, you&amp;#39;ve got to admit that it&amp;#39;s better than &amp;quot;covandals&amp;quot; (covered sandals), right?\nToo much spring, not enough fall?
