As January starts to show signs of snow, I’m sure you’re all wondering just what to wear when the icy walkways are slippery and wearing Ugg boots are no longer an option for your date-night out.
Well, that’s not at all what I’m going to tell you. Fashion never promises to be practical, and in fact, I’ve suffered many times from Mother Nature because I refused to confine to what the weather outside was doing. While it may seem silly, the hottest trend for this winter season are wedge ankle boots which do not offer much protection from the snow.
But as impractical as these shoes are, they do have some benefits that might have you forgiving their less-than-ideal appeal as winter wear.
