Fear NO Puddle!!

So I bought a pair of yellow Hunter Short Wellies (pictured to the left) a while back.  I remember when I first laid eyes on them at Nordstroms...I was like "Paddington the Bear : I want these!!".  After weeks of contemplation, I finally caved and made the purchase, but I was thinking about returning them because I figured I'd never wear them. 

Well, I'm glad I didn't.  It's been raining here in LA almost non-stop since last night, so I decided this was a sign from Above to keep them and I gave them a whirl.  They.are.awesome!!

Earlier this week, when the first rains hit, I was ill prepared and ended up getting my shoes, socks, and jeans wet due to the falling raindrops, massive puddles, and raging sidewalk rivers.  I was so annoyed the rest of the day because everything from kneedown was damp.  As I hung my socks to dry, off a side drawer at work,  I vowed to be prepared to whip out the Wellies at the next sign of rain.

Low and behold, it has been raining here in LA, but this time I was prepared.  I confidently, albeit with a little child-like wonder, walked through swirling sidewalk rivers of rainwater and feared NO puddle as my jeans and spiffy argyle socks remained dry and protected.  T'was great  :)
