Winter style: One boot, 5 looks

Splurge!

OK, we know: Priced at $1,095.00, these boots don't come cheap. But you have to consider how often you can wear them! Will you get a big bang for your buck?

The pitch

"First of all, it's great for winter," says Polnoroff about the Marilyn boot. "You'll be warm wearing these. It's not just a boot; it's like a leather jacket for your legs. And you don't need a lot of other pieces when you're wearing them. You just need these boots, a pair of jeans and a grandpa cardigan, and you're good to go. They're also amazing leather, and the heel is perfect. They're a great everyday boot. You can weare a statement accessory like this every day."

The versatility

To show how versatile these boots are, Loeffler Randall teamed up with stylist Vale Polnoroff and her roommate (and model) Pilar Garcia Solchaga. The Argentine duo created five completely different looks -- downtown rock 'n roll, uptown elegant, cold-weather cozy, head-to-toe glamour and office chic.
