Stay away from old school "nylons" or full on socks with peep toes though. If wearing trousers, I don't think you should wear the peep toe shoes during the colder months if you can't handle being uncomfortable or cold =] RE: Peep toes during the winter

You could wear the skimpy summer dress with knee boots and a short sleeve cardigan in the late spring or a cloudy day (especially in the Northwest) where it can get pretty cold when the sun fails to show!

I don't understand. But I probably shouldn't talk, because my favourite clothing season is fall, aka, "jeans with sandals" or "skirts with boots" season. It's all about balancing the temperatures. :) Oh dude, you see the Uggs + summer dress combo here in the spring and summer all the time! I don’t understand.

Where I live, it can be 61 one day and 01 the next. I'm not kidding. The people who on the 01 day wear what might have worked the day before, we call them Yesterdressers. Agree with Angie on both.

I am all for fashion but my tootsies will be kept snug and warm in my biker boots well into spring. Frost bitten feet are just so last year!

I'm still (been in this country 7 years!!!) trying to get used to the having to carry a sweater around in summer because movie theaters/restaurants are so cold. In winter I almost always wear sandals/flip flops with my coat and jeans because once I'm indoors the heat is so high that I'm uncomfortably warm if I wear closed toe shoes. And no, we don't get much snow in winter where I'm at, but when we do I'm generally still in sandals...which are easier to clean/dry off than full shoes. Guess I'm just hot footed and lazy :).

I'm also not a fan of garments that try to merge seasons. I know they work for some people, but it doesn't work at all in my climate. If it's too hot for long sleeves, it's definitely too hot for a sweater. So why, then. would I want to buy a sleeveless sweater? Likewise if it's too cold for short sleeves, it's too cold for a short sleeved sweater dress. There were entirely too many of those this season. I guess they're fine in a warmer climate, but the northeast has very extreme temperatures where such things just don't make sense. I was waiting for this post!

I personally am not a fan of either look, but they're pretty common here since the weather is consistently mild enough for something like that to "work," temperature-wise. I see this sort of mix all year round. Or maybe some people aren't as sensitive in their feet? I'm not sure... :/ In California, the ensembles make a little more sense, I think.
