It’s currently raining and 45° in my little corner of the world. Which made the promotional email from JCrew sitting in my inbox this morning that much more entertaining. Because really, who doesn’t need these:
JCrew Crackle Jane ballet flats in metallic aqua
I know, I know, for those of you in warmer parts of the world, these would be considered practical. As for me? If I can’t have the webbed paws of my chocolate lab, then I really should be looking at something more along the lines of these:
Chooka Tattoo City rain boots
Which, while no where near as stylish as the flats, still add a little oomph to any outfit. Rain, rain, don’t go away, in a pair of these boots I want to go out and play! I’ll file the flats in the “sunny vacation” section of my brain and stick with the boots for the fall. And winter. And spring. And, oh let’s be honest, probably part of the summer as well, since the Northwest is notoriously shy when it comes to the sun.
How about you? Any accessory that will be occupying your dreams to get you through the doldrums of the colder months?
Where did this rain come from! I’m in a new pair of wool clogs, and although warm, VERY, VERY wet socks and toes.. urgh! If I wasn’t stuck working on the computer all day, I’d be shopping… have you come across a WARM pair of waterproof gloves, not too thick?
Love the boots! Hmmmm, I think I need a pair of the boots – and a pair of the cute little JCrew flats, too. The boots can keep me dry from October through… well, next October. And the ballet flats can sit on the shelf by my computer and remind me that sunshine will arrive one day.
