To wellie or not to wellie? That is the question. The answer to that question for us, we have Janalynn. Since the fall and into winter I have been seeing more and more wellingtons afoot. I really dig when someone can make the rubber monsters work by contrasting them with other interesting pieces. I think Janalynn pulls that off wonderfully here. The classic cut of the coat and floofy skirt kind of contradict the down-home nature of the boots and hand knit hat and scarf set, but it works.
Wellingtons, also known as rubber-boots, wellies, topboots, gumboots, barnboots, muckboots or rainboots, can be a polarizing topic. A friend of mine loves them, but her partner absolutely hates when she wears them. I mean, yeah, there’s definately a time and place for the wellington, but how can such a simple piece of footwear divide so much?
What do you think about the rubber boot? I’m interested to know.
