These boots are made for walking - in style!

I've quickly learned that NYC Winter style is all about the boots! Style aside, there is a safety element involved as well, as I learned after taking a bruising sidewalk dive in my 4 inch stiletto'd Escada's after the recent blizzard. (Ouch!) The search for the perfect boot is not an easy one as there are so many looks, and many are limiting when it comes to style versatility. As a budget style seeker, I found the perfect solution with my Calvin Klein Mayson boots:

They're made of a soft napa leather and are really two boots in one! (Which is great for my budget and my closet - both small!!) You can wear them over-the-knee or fold the top half down for a more traditional everyday boot. I happen to love them over-the-knee with black skinny jeans and my vintage fox fur coat, finished with a matte red lip and simple black knitted hat. They can look Ralph Lauren cool with my indian poncho and black leggings or with black tights and a silky mini dress for going out. Did I mention they have a rubber sole and are uber-comfortable? This NY newbie will not be sidewalk diving anymore!
