FASHIONABLE "WELLIE BOBS"

This is a perfect day to post this, as it's pouring down in Durbs!

For those that don't know "Wellie Bobs" is another name for Gum boots,Wellington boots, rain boots or just plain wellies and guess what..living in Durban I don't own or really 

ever need to wear a pair.....

The conventional industrial green or black rubber footwear has taken on a new lease of life in recent years and the good old Wellington boot has become somewhat of a fashion accessory. 

This now jazzy, multi-coloured boot is now worn by celebs and fashionistas around the world, as well as the likes of you and me...well perhaps not me! 

Any item of clothing can be worn today with a pair of wellies as there is no fashion limit to its pairings.

Probably the most well know name around the world is the "Hunter" boot which hails from Scotland and they are available at selected outlets around South Africa, at a price.

Below is a selection of designs just showing how far the humble "wellie bob" has come.
You can also find cheaper, pretty and funky wellies from the major high street retailers.
  I am actually feeling quite deprived now, that I have no use for a pair, as I want!
Maybe I could wear a pair, when watering the garden or cleaning the pool,
 but they would have to be pink..of course!

Hunter and Tom Jones

Even designers like Marc Jacobs,Gucci
and Burberry are in on the scene
