wellies? in winter? not so much. wait for spring!

Back in September, I fell in love with a pair of rubber boots. It may sound silly, but it is true. It was raining, which usually leaves me feeling depressed when I have to be outside (the fear of getting splashed but passing cars a la Bridget Jones scares me), alas, this one time I actually was left feeling happy, and excited after I can back indoors. A girl, who shall remain nameless (partly because I never met her), wore fushia wellies (who would have thought?) and skinny jeans. Partly, I was amazed because I have never had the guts to wear rubber boots. These boots however were wellies. Instantly I promised myself to buy a pair, although in a more practical colour.

Yes, I am aware that it is November tomorrow, and yes, sooner or later snow will stay on the ground (until March's spring melts it all away). However, wouldn't allow myself to save this post for March, or even April for that matter. Remember Kate Moss circa 2005 at the Glastonbury festival? No? Well, I shall revive your memory:

Although the dress may be short, and the hip-slung belt a tad over played, does she nbelt reads "Got just ooze cool? Granted, just about everything Kate Moss does is cool (minus the loser ex, who I refuse to mention), wellies, with a dress? Kate Moss, once again I salute you.

The same week in 2005, she wore the next outfit:

Note, the belt reads "GLASTONBURY", which, another note, if you have no idea what the Glastonbury festival is, search for it on wikipedia. Jean shorts? With a vest and wellies? Would you ever think of such a thing? Of course not.

Although you are probably done with the Kate Moss at Glastonbury photos! Alas, you have one more to scroll through, this one from the 2004 edition of Glastonbury. This photo demonstrates how amazing wellies look with skinny jeans. Imagine them with pink wellies? That was the inspiration for this post.

Although I have not found a decent site selling wellies, expect to pay nor more than $70 for a good pair. As a last thought, go with solid colours. As much as you might like the striped wellies today, tomorrow when it rains and all you have left of your clean clothes is your Rebecca Taylor Cardigan (puffed sleeves!), $300 and your Sass & Bide Misfit skinny jeans, $195

you won't....on second thought, I like the idea of the cardigan and bright pink and blue polka dotted wellies. Apparently, my thoughts about printed wellies are seriously wrong. However, don't wear them if you're over the age of 25. It's just not cute anymore. Stripes and polka dots? Cute. Rubber duckies and weird prints? Not cute.
