proper attire

Living in NYC, whether I like it or not, I am forced to deal with the elements.  I must say, I've adapted well, i.e., managed to acquire tons of gear over the past 7 years.  One of my new additions this year were these VERY practical 5 inch platform "snow" boots.  They are not comfortable, they are not warm, but they look kind of badass.  No pain, no gain ;)
