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?
