First, I just want to say thank you so much for all the entries into the scarf giveaway and the plethora of comments I’ve been receiving lately! I appreciate each and every one! Every time I see that there’s a new comment on a post, it makes my day. So thank you to my wonderful readers, old and new! Your comments are so awesome, I’m afraid you’re going to give me a big ego.
Now to the outfit. Way back in April, I posted about how I was itching to get a pair of wellies. Soon after that post, I found out about Plueys, an online purveyor of some awesomely stylish rainboots, and entered a contest they were hosting on Facebook. A few weeks later, I found out that I had won a pair of rainboots, and it began raining like crazy. But then when I got the package in the mail, we suddenly hit a dry spell, with only occasional showers, not enough to warrant wearing a pair of wellingtons. Recently, it’s finally started raining again, and yesterday it poured on and off most of the day. So, say hello to my beautiful argyle Plueys!
I felt so awesome wearing these today. Everyone else I saw today had sandals and wet feet, while I stayed stylish and dry. You might notice that these pictures are a bit hazy. That’s from the insane humidity. I tried to wipe off the camera lens to keep it from fogging, but there’s only so much you can do.
Kim’s new July inspiration calendar called for a little black dress and fun shoes, so I figured this would fit the bill perfectly. Nothing is more fun than jumping in rain puddles while wearing magenta leggings and argyle wellies!
I carried a separate pair of shoes to put on when I got indoors. I’m guessing that this is wellie etiquette, but I have a question for other wellie wearers out there: where do you put your rainboots when you get indoors? When I’m at home, I keep them by the front door. At work, I kept them at my desk. But when I went to the grocery store, I thought it would be odd to carry them around, so I just left them on. What do you do?

Those are super cute! Congrats on winning them – that’s always fun!
Those are so, so cute! I have a pair of wellies from Target that I love, but unfortunately do not love me back– within a few wearings the rubber had cracked, and the insoles had torn
Those have such a great pattern and look SO great esp. with those tights! I’m pretty shameless with my rain boots and will wear them pretty much anywhere. It doesn’t really make sense for me to bring an extra pair of shoes with me to class and such, but if I’m going to be somewhere for a long time (and sitting for a long time) then I usually will bring a change of shoes. I’d say rock ‘em at the grocery store, girl!
Love the wellies! I’m dying to have a pair too, if it will ever rain again in NC!
Such fun! Patterned wellies almost make the rain bearable, don’t they?
Love those argyle wellies!

I love those! And they look spot-on with the magenta leggings!! As for my “wellie etiquette”, I tend to just leave them at the front door, unless I’m somewhere like a grocery store where it would be ridiculous to take them off.
Love your wellies! And the pattern you picked is so fun!
Cute boots! Isn’t it just awesome how wearing them is seemingly practical, but so fashionably fun at the same time! Gotta love it!
