WELLIES!

Wellies!

☁ 1 - Loeffler Randall - these are my favourite. I would totally wear them in Summer too.
☁ 2 - Modcloth
☁ 3 - Modcloth (sold out)
☁ 4 - Hunter
☁ 5 - Target
☁ 6 - Burberry

I am searching for a pair of cute wellies for Sydney's wet weather season. I love those Loeffler Randalls', but I feel like rain boots should be for getting muddy and scuffed and therefore should not cost $150 (don't even get me started on those Burberry boots). I like short boots because they are more versatile and won't make you look ridiculous if the forecast was wrong and it turns out to be a beautiful cloudless day, whereas long boots are more practical and protective against the elements. Wellies evoke scenes of idyllic English seaside towns, taking long walks through the countryside and Elizabeth Bennet-esque muddy skirt hems ("positively medieval"); all things that I feel a sense of nostalgia about but have no reason to because I've never actually experienced any of them. I will very likely end up buying a cheapie pair from Target. 


Obligatory adorable picture of a piglet in boots. Nawww.

  2. I love the Target ones, they remind me of rainboots from when I was a kid and would definitely brighten up a rainy day... I haven't actually owned a pair since I was little, actually!

  7. They're all so cute!! Haha I know what you mean, I was looking at all sorts of wellies forever till I ended up with a pair of leopard ones from the old ladies section for 20 bucks...

    Oh and yes, it is a phone box, but not a shoe rack. It's a little smaller, I think it's supposed to be a cd rack, but I use it for nailpolish and knick-knacks. :-)
