Yesterday I planned a night out in the neighborhood with a few girlfriends, and a discussion came up on what the perfect going-out shoe is when it's snowing. Should we go with the stiletto approach, using our sharp heels as a form of pickaxe for our feet? Or just resign to wearing a pair of combat boots and/ or wellies and playing it safe?

I myself am still in search of the perfect, dressed-up shoe for the snow, but I'm open to experimenting 'til I finally find it! The shoes I'm wearing above, however, did not make the cut. I probably slipped five times on my way to work, and finally just started walking in the middle of the street to avoid icy patches. Ah, the perils of winter in the city. How do you cope?
