Stuff I Wore: Rain Rain Go Away (OOTD 1.12.12)

I was forced to wear my leaky rain boots to work two weeks ago. As long as I don't step in puddles that are too deep, they still keep my feet dry. But, guess what? Yep, I stepped in a nice deep puddle. I've since thrown the leaky shoes out and found a new pink pair, which will be featured soon!

I swapped out the flowered wellies for some brown boots when I got to work. Squishy flowered wellies are not exactly workplace attire. Although I guess walking around barefoot for an hour while my socks dried out on the heater wasn't all that professional. I bring the class to the office.

Inspired by Pinterest: Pink Wellies Look

I just started using Pinterest a few weeks ago and I AM ADDICTED! There are so many great style ideas on there, which inspired me to start this new post.

I saw this picture of a lovely lady in pink wellies and instantly swooned. I usually don't like extremely preppy looks, but something about this look called out to me. I think it might be the feminine details of the pearls and lace top mixed with teh practicality of the wellies and cardigan. It could also be the next few days of impending rain or the recent Hunter boot sale on Hautelook that I opted not to jump on.

I've also been thinking that I need an A-line khaki skirt, so this post is also helping me make a long overdue purchase.

I leave you with the Polyvore break down. I'm experimenting with some snazzier Polyvore lay outs. What do you think?
