If you're getting them for warmth/snow, I'd say get the original ones. Yes, they're ugly, but when it's 19 degrees outside I don't care what's ugly because I'm bundled up anyway. I don't care if someone thinks I'm cute when I'm shoveling out my car, I care that I don't get frostbite.
If you're getting them just because you think they're cute, that's up to you. Try them on, I've found that's the only way I can tell if I like something or not is to see how it looks on me.
Anyways, call around different Nordstroms to see if anyone has the ones you're looking for, or you can probably order them off their website.
