Because it decided to rain today,
I have decided to share this picture of the perfect footwear for such weather. Over the years Kate Moss has been held responsible for starting many a trend, and sure enough, her sanction of the humble Wellington boot (
gumboot to us Kiwis), elevated it to the status of "fashion item with lightning speed! Recently the 'Hunter' brand became available in Australia, and have now begun to appear on the streets of (appropriately) Wellington. Until now, you had to have been lucky enough to have travelled to the Northern Hemisphere to sport these beauties!
Anyway, thanks to Kate, Wellington/gumboots are a viable daytime footwear option, and are are being embraced in all the colours of the rainbow.
