Now that autumn has officially settled in - after two (hot, hot, hot!) Indian summer weeks - it's time to prepare for the long, cold, wet winter months. And as I picture the rain in my head, I can't help but think of wellies. I've secretly been wanting a pair of Hunter boots for a while but as they are quite pricey, I've been holding off any kind of compulsive purchase. Only in a few weeks, I'll be saying 'adios' to my twenties and I'm thinking that these would be a nice birthday present 'from me to me' to mark the occasion. What do you think: are they worth the extra money? I love the fact that they are elegant and that I could wear them around Paris without feeling like a frumpy mummy.
ps: a fun wellies photo found via Pinterest :)

I vote yes! I think you'll really enjoy wearing them, versus a pair that would simply do the job. I have been wanting to get some for quite some time too, and this is a good reminder.
ReplyDeleteIrony at it's finest.. I turn 30 on Friday. I was thinking about buying myself a pair of green ones as a present.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love those boots! I've been wanting some for a while too. They would be the perfect birthday gift, hope you get them!
ReplyDeleteGosh Wellies are so awesome! I normally call them Wellingtons though! I am jealous that you may get them for your birthday! :)
ReplyDeletePS Happy Early Birthday!

love them, i say go for it!
ReplyDeletelove Hunters! do it!
ReplyDeleteTreat yourself lady, you totally deserve it. I'd LOVE a pair of Hunters, but Ben doesn't quite understand why they're so much better (and therefore expensive!) than an average wellie. But dude, check them out with those awesome floral socks! I need to show him that picture...
ReplyDeleteps. love "me to me" presents! xx
I have a pair of green Hunter boots and they are truly awesome..You should totally get them, darling. Kisses
ReplyDeleteOf course you should! Looking forward to seeing your bought pair :)
ReplyDeleteLove these wellies photos. I have a pair in pumpkin orange. I bought them 2 years ago and they still look and feel brand new. I would say they're worth it as they'll last you a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteDo it! They are great for snow and mud too and well worth the investment. After 5 harsh winters and rainy springs mine look the same as they did 5 years ago.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely. but I seriously vote for Le Chameau with the zip up....they're as good as winter boots and wellies too: http://www.bestboots.co.uk/chasseurnord-wellington-boots.htm. do it.
