Cold Weather Fix

Bonnie Brown

So long Uggs...Hello wedge.
“Oh the weather outside is frightful" and the winter boots this season are oh so delightful! That’s right, it’s the time of year to finally put away those cute little pumps and platforms of yours and slide your feet into something with a little more warmth. But just because your winter boots need to perform a function (i.e. keeping your tootsies toasty) doesn’t mean you have to forego fashion; in fact just the opposite is true. Now that skinny jeans are the “in thing" this fall and winter your boots are going to be the main attraction. While there are many styles to choose from, those made of luxurious suede and a wedge heel seem to be the hottest of them all; and if they come with fur trim and strap details you couldn’t ask for anything more.
