The trick to remaining Fab throughout the seasons is to adjust. Take, for instance, these Yves Saint Laurent Patent Boots ($640). The slick patent finish and low heel make them a perfect candidate for the wet season. See? No need to sacrifice style for function! Alas, YSL comes at a heavy price tag . . .

These BCBG Max Azria Bless Flats ($325) are practically the spitting image of the aforementioned, and cost half the price. I like how the slight wooden wedge heel contrasts against the patent finish. Still not in your budget? Lucky for you, I found an even cheaper version.

The detailing on these Steve Madden Swoop Black Patent Boots ($150) is slightly different from the two above, but the price is budget-friendly. Note how the longer shaft length, 17.5 inches to be exact, can pass for the hot over-the-knee look.
