rainy day shoe blues...


So, it is pouring outside. The cats are sleeping on & in my bed, and I think more coffee needs to be made. All this rain has made me long for a pair of "wellies". Since my last decade was spent in Phoenix most of my shoes are not rain worthy consisting of flip flops, sandals, heels, and sneakers. 
In fact here is me this morning in my most capable pair.
I love my Keens but, Northwest rain will penetrate these kicks in no time.


Since I am budgeting to get to shoe design school I had to breeze past the fabulous designer rain boots. Hello Hunter, Beautiful Burberry, and Chic Chanel.  My search went straight to Target.com for my puddle splashing footwear.  Here are my favorites:

Womens Hummingbird Rain Boots - Black/Grey
Option #1 Has a hummingbird which reminds me of my Grandma Frances.
Womens Retro Birdie Rain Boots - Gray
Option #2 Has a "put a bird on it" rock n roll vibe.


Women's Merona® Zena Rain Boot - Red Stripe
Option #3 Has a Paul Smith-esque stripe, I Love stripes.
The first two are probably my best bet since the grey tones will allow me to wear them with more versatility. Let me know what you think?!

In case you were interested, here is a link to wikipedia to learn about how wellies became apart of our modern wardrobes.
Thanks to the Duke of Wellington for keeping our feet fashionable and dry!
