which shoe style do you prefer with a dress?

As winter approaches, wearing fashionable dresses with appropriate shoes becomes more of a task for me. In the summer time, you can just wear a simple sundress with flip flops or you can wear a nice cocktail dress with stilettos and be comfortable. In the winter I always find it difficult to find shoes that accentuate a nice dress while keeping me warm. Which shoes do you prefer to wear with a casual dress during the daytime? What about a fancier, night time dress?
