Hi Christa-

I was wondering if you had any general petite advice for winter boots and shoes. I'm going to Pittsburgh, PA for Christmas and stilettos and pumps don't do well in soft, muddy grass. Any ideas for more casual-looking boots with a thicker high heel, but don't look too chunky for someone 4'10"?

Thanks as usual for your great blog!

Hey D!

I know cold, snowy, slushy, winters being here in Toronto. No stilettos allowed, unless you bring a pair for your "indoor shoes" to parties. Which I have a habit of doing.

I just picked up these brown boots (above) from Payless. They're from the girls section, so they're extra warm, skid proof and they have arch support! They design the girls boots with better winter functionality and they're adorable. If they're too cutesy for you, they also have styles sans pom poms.

I also picked up the black booties for days when I don't want to wear tall boots. They're not as warm, but they're very chic and "aspen" looking. Perfect for boot cut and wide leg pants. They'd even be great with black opaque tights. These are from the women's section.

Both of these heels have narrower wedges, so they won't overwhelm your small frame, but you'll still get a few inches.

Note: A size 6.5 womens translates to a 4.5 girls.
