Q. I’m looking to add a splash of animal print to my winter wardrobe with calf-hair Steve Madden flats (Bunni). Can you wear open-toe wedge flats during the winter? Should you wear hose with them? I fell in love with the flats, but I don’t know how long I can wear them.
-Open-toe or no go
A. The best way to wear open toe shoes in the colder months is to wear them with hosiery - opaque hose or ribbed and textured tights. This look usually works best with peep toe styles like your Steve Maddens. Try alexblake.com for a great variety of tights.

A. Yikes! Go with glam and choose a strappy metallic gold or champagne color. You’ve already got on yellow, so definitely skip considering red shoes, it will only distract from your fab dress. Stick with a glamorous head to toe look.
