I have tracked down budget-friendly options of each must-have style. Are you ready, boots? Start walking!

4. Patent

The patent boot screams for a mod nod. There is no better pairing for this boot than a belted mini skirt. Keep it classic with a solid sweater and trench, or go bold with stripes and fur.

5. Glitter
