When it comes to a seasonal shoe wardrobe that is functional and stylish, I like to make sure that each pair I own meets a mini check list, which possesses at least one of the following qualities: casual yet versatile, dressy or a no-brainer.

For me, a combat boot is a no-brainer. Whether you have on skinny jeans paired with a blouse or a jersey knit dress with a chunky sweater, you can throw these on to instantly add a casual, edgy vibe.

These glam booties are perfect for a dressed up night on the town or a holiday party. The pump adds a hint of femininity and the mesh adds a flirty element.

Over-the-knee boots are one of my favorites because they can easily be dressed up or down. Not only do I love pairing over-the-knee boots with dresses and skirts but also with a pair of skinnies or leggings. They're laid back yet still sophisticated and versatile.
