A challege that comes along every winter is maintaining the chic while braving the elements.  When the snow is coming down heavy, you have to give in and wear something functional, however thanks to the fashion Gods winter boots can be pragmatic and still on trend.

I like  a variety of winter boots, some prefer a more au currant look, and others opt for the classics, the kind that make you think 1970s "Dazed and Confused" senior girls. Regardless of what kind of winter weather statement you want to make, I have an option for you!

Wear any of the below options with tights and skirts/dresses or skinny jeans, and of course a fabulous and unique winter coat--another unique and individualistic statement piece every fashionista must have when the flurries start to fall.
