When It Rains

Pinstripe Rainboots

Remember when you were a kid and getting caught in the rain was actually fun?

No worries about your newly straightened hair, your swank leather coat, or your just applied mascara. All that mattered was who could make the biggest splash in her rain boots.

Well those days are back, albeit in a slightly grown-up form. We’re talking wellies so cute they’ve got us praying for rain. A far cry from utilitarian galoshes, they’re ticker striped! Yes, the pattern that style bunnies just can’t seem to get enough of has made its way to the rain boot. A step up from the plastic-baggies-over-the-loafers look, these kicks provide an instant silver lining for any cloud.

Go ahead. Jump in that puddle.

Or don’t. Either way you’ll be making a splash.
