What I Wore: Wubba Boots

When it started to rain the other day, I mostly just beat my head against my desk. I'm performing in a show which is held in a tent, our changing area would turn into a swamp, we would be stuck in the tiny backstage area for hours, it would be muggy, you get my point.  By this point my head was starting to hurt, so I lifted it off the desk, and what did I see? My RUBBER BOOTS. This obviously made everything much, much better.

Dress, ???, shortened by me; shirt, vintage fabric, gift from friend; belt, Cake; boots, ???

How could I be unhappy while wearing bright yellow rubber boots with black accents, courtesy of a spray paint accident? A friend* and I had to take photos, because the only thing awesomer than wearing rubber boots with mini dresses is taking photos while wearing rubber boots with mini dresses. This worked out pretty well for me, since it meant that I had outfit photos, and I usually can't take outfit photos in the rain because my main tripod**/location is in the middle of the yard so my camera would get wet.

What do you think about wearing rubber boots as parts of everyday outfits?

Love,
Rosie

* Their are two reasons I'm not sharing the photos of her- 1. She doesn't want me too and 2. If I did you would all fall in love with how awesome she is and not want to see pictures of me/read what I write anymore.

** I don't have an actual tripod yet, so I use a wood pile.

  3. These rubber boots, or wellies as they say in England, are so cute and totally remind me of the yellow rain coats we wore as children. They actually complement the outfit perfectly! xo

  7. Lol! Love your "tripod" idea! I don't own one either, but I guess I should add one to my wishlist. As far as rubber boots, ask me this questions again when it's not like a 100 degrees outside and humid :o/

  9. I like your short skirt and rubber boots for rainy summer days. Might be too cold in fall though. Very cute. I'm so glad they made you happy. Anything to remind us that it isn't all that bad!
