This year I discovered one of my biggest obsessions: rain boots. I’m 110% sure I wore wellies this past winter more than I wore my leather riding boots. In fact, I’m not sure why I even bothered searching for the perfect pair of riding boots this year. Majority of my days were spent walking through unplowed parking lots and sidewalks and these babies were a lifesaver. Last year as a newbie New Englander I purchased a pair of winter snow boots. They were ugly and I never wore them. So instead, I ruined all of my good shoes with salt and snow stains. This time around, the magic shoe fairy whispered a hint in my ear and told me to get with it. I listened and I’ve been thankful ever since.
Since spring is finally kind of here, I know the last thing you want to be reminded of is snow, so I apologize in advance. But for real, they work. And they apparently work for all seasons!
As usual, I’m late to the game with most things and rain boot wellies for me were no different. But I’ve officially joined the club!
This morning I had the pleasure of getting owned by the rain while walking into work. It was one of those rainstorms that seem to drizzle the entire time except the time you actually have to get out of the car, and then boom (cue the time to get soaked downpour). Just perrrrfect. My clothes may have been soaked, but my feet were dry!
And just like that, spring teased us with is presence and now the gloomy skies and wind are back. One thing is for sure though; there’s nothing a cute, hot pink pair of Joules wellies can’t fix. Get you some!
How do you like to wear your rain boots? Do you wear wellies in the snow?

I too love a good pair of rain boots. They are functional and fashionable and the designs are so cute!
Kiki says
Those boots are adorable. I did the same thing this winter, not wear winter boots and instead ruined my good shoes. Live and learn I guess!

Every time I see someone wearing cute rain boots, I get jealous. I want .. no I NEED some! (Okay. Not really need, but Houston does get rain sometimes!). I just don't know how to wear them!

I get really excited when it rains, so I can wear my green Hunter rain boots. The ones you posted are too cute!

These are really cute Dara, I live in a very warm climate in Queensland, Australia and so don't have a need for these awesome boots, wish I could rock them! I hardly ever need to wear socks! Hate me much? Emily – visiting as part of #teamIBOT

I could have totally used a pair of those bad boys today when it was monsooning out 😛
These April showers better bring some amazing May flowers!

Adorable, I love the hot pink. I am so torn on getting a pair, I'm not sure how often I will actually wear them.
If we had snow here it might be an easier decision.
Stopping by from the tea party. 🙂

Were your toes ok and not freezing with rain boots in the snow?
Dara @ The Southern Thing says
I wore thick fleece rainboot liners, which kept my feet warm in the snow.
