All IN THE DETAILS: Welly Why Don’t Ya?

From colossal snowstorms to the treasured months of summer, Michigan is a state that is far too familiar with everything Mother Nature has in store. Walking to class in the fall meant shoving a pair of skinny jeans into my favorite pair of Wellies and trudging my way to class. Comfortable, and not to mention adorable, these fall weather staples don’t have to be secluded in your wardrobe until school starts back up. Dig through the crevices of your closet and find your pair of rain boots, they could use a little sunshine.

This Fashionista paired summer essentials with a pair of blush pink rain boots. The pale color of the boots coordinates with her light bag and distressed shorts, helping the eye travel from one element of the look to the other. Darker pieces create balance. Her black tank top and camouflage anorak saturate the color palette of the look and helps make the lighter portions of the look stand out. The combination creates a chic contrast that works in all the right ways.

With a little more thought, rain boots can work for other occasions besides running errands around town. Let’s say you have a lunch date with your girlfriends or your boyfriend. It’s a more elevated scene so shorts and a shirt probably aren’t going to cut it. Opt for a feminine shirt, think silk or pastels, with a skirt. A sundress would also be a perfect solution.

How To: Take advantage of those unbearably humid, rainy days to try this trend out. With your favorite pair of shorts, slip on your Wellies and a simple T-shirt. You’ll be sure to brighten the day right up.
