Marilyn Monroe once said, “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world”. With these fall 2012 boot trends, all under $200, you can do just that! Start saving up for your favorite pair or include them on your holiday wish list, with boots these cute the trends will likely continue into the winter.
1. Updated Uggs
Guys love to hate them, girls love to wear them. Whether you think they are cute or not, no other boot can compare to the warmth and comfort of the classic Ugg Australia boots. This year, switch it up with a new stylish pair of Uggs with sparkles, glitter, buttons, bows, and a multitude of colors. Or, keep it old school with the tall and short classics. While Uggs cost $155 and up, they really do last forever. I have had a pair of classic sand Uggs for 5 years.

2: Cute Rainboots
We really are our mothers’ daughters: wellies are back in style!!
Debatably the new Uggs, Hunter boots are both functional and sleek. They offer the best of both worlds: waterproof for rainy days and walking through sleet to class, and stylish. You can really show off your personality by purchasing socks in a variety of patterns, materials, and colors. Socks definitely make wellies warmer and more comfortable. Hunter Boots cost $125 and up, plus socks. However, there are plenty of cheaper versions on the market.
