Winter shoe quandary

We've hit autumn here, and we've hit it hard! Suddenly all I've got on my brain are winter shoes. I'm covered when it comes to comfy, run-around, grocery shoes, I've got my blue tigers to wear with jeans.

It's when I want to wear a dress or skirt with tights, then I'm stuck! My old stand-bys are getting too old, and let the puddles in! I need some help!!

Looking around blog-land I'm seeing heaps of oxfords & brogues:

What do you think of them? They look super cool & comfy, do you think the average person (me!) can get away with them?

Am I better off with a more standard ballet flat:

Witchery












Opinions please!?!
