{Rain, Rain, Go Away!}

Okay, so it's not really raining here. It kinda rain/sleeted yesterday, but we're really dealing with snow this time of year. The reason I bring it up is that I want some rain boots! With all the slushy, soggy, messy weather I have to look forward to, I believe this is a wise investment.

Plus they are all currently very on sale...
The problem is...which pair?
My initial choice was the obvious - Hunter's.
They are the epitome of a classic rain boot.

But then I found these red Kate Spade boots.
Fantastic as well!
I like that the sole is a different color...

Finally there are these Marc Jacob's boots.
My sister and I saw a girl at Urban Outfitters a few weeks ago wearing them.
They looked so great in person. The color is also super versatile.

Alright girls {& boys!}...which pair do you think would be best?

I have yellow wellies and they are so much fun to wear so I know you will love yours too!

I like the Kate Spade ones. They are bright and you need to be bright in gloomy weather right? I can't wait to see which ones you pick!

I was about to buy a pair of hunters at the store yesterday and the cashier told me not to buy them! WHAT?! She said alot of people complained that your feet were always freezing in them. She actually talked me out of buying them also. My personal fave are the kate spades.

Hmmmm....I really like the first pair, but they're all really great. Are you leaning towards the Marc Jacobs pair?

Oh and I want to see your mom's chair!!!! Thanks for the compliment on my photo, I appreciate your thoughtfulness! :)

The Hunters (but get a pair of sock inserts). Where are they on sale?

Piper Jacquelyn said...

Thanks for the input!

Belle - I saw these like, fleecy inserts for the Hunters & now that you say they are cold to wear, they make more sense!

I'm kinda leaning towards the Kate Spades....oh, and the Hunter's weren't on sale, sorry! They are pretty much priced the same as the others which ARE on sale though, so I count it the same!

The Kate Spades are lots of fun perfect for a gloomy day! :) If you want something more versatile then I would go with the Marc Jacobs...

Kate said...

It's funny you made this post today because my red Hunter wellies just arrived at my door! I tried them on and they feel pretty comfy. I'm now ready for a rainy day so I can see how they are in action! The Kate Spades are cute too...either way you can't really go wrong with red.

I love them all. But the Marc Jacobs? I mean, come on, they are Marc Jacobs! And you are right, very versatile!

I would say NO to the Marc J's. Tacky. Because your sister will be wearing them next to you.

i've been coveting a pair of hunters for years. i finally tried them on and realized that my "bird legs" looked t-totally redonkulous in the traditional ones. I tried on their new "Lady N" version and fell in love. Be sure to buy the Hunter wellie socks...they are fleece and VERY WARM! (they also fit perfectly into the boot!

I love the red Hunter pair on the top. Have you looked at the rainboots from Target? They're a little shorter, but they're sooo cheap! http://aisforandrea.blogspot.com/2008/12/5-things-i-want-right-now.html (here's a link to a red pair)
