I Fell in the Snow, So.... New Boots

Source: Marc Fisher

It was a particularly hellish spring day here in NYC last week. Meaning, it was snowing like mad. The kind of slushy garbage that reminds you that you can’t get away with anything other than an agressive, flat boot if you need to commute more than 5 minutes. In the slightest of wedges, I strolled into the office, catching a pile of said snow and taking a solid tumble at the entrance of a large Manhattan office building, the likes of which romcom writers would use to paint the picture of a girl starting a very. rough. morning.

So new boots it is. My flat knee highs are somewhat impractical because they don’t go with every office outfit, all day. I need something I can just quickly kick off and slip into a heel for a little more office appropriateness. Enter these Marc Fishers. I keep going back to them as the epitome of a slick flat Chelsea boot, but to date, have been hard-pressed to spend the circa $180. Slightly cheaper at $155, these flat black ankle boots from Other Stories also look promising. However, it being near the end of the season and all, I may just grab these under $50 version from Asos to tide me over until next fall.
