I remember when I was growing up I dreaded rainy days because I knew my mother would bring out the wellies. I absolutely hated wearing them as they were so blah and boring and came in the most uninspiring green colour {remember the ones?}. Even as a kid I was fussy about what I wore and those bland green wellies just didn’t cut it. Fast forward to today and it’s a completely different story with my equally fussy daughter. She loves wellies and it’s not difficult to see why. The ones you get now are bright, colourful and stylish and are anything but boring. We’ve been looking to buy a pair and these boots by Joules caught my eye and my daughters. She loved the bright blue ones with the floral print and has told me she wants to wear them everyday, come rain or shine! My favourite was the polka dotted ones but I liked them all. They’re girly and fun without being cutesy and that always gets my vote. Apart from girls wellies, Joules also do some cool ones for boys like the stripey navy blue pair which I think would even work on a girl. But it’s the colourful ones that I fell for because they look great with muted Autumn colours and besides, who doesn’t need a bit of brightness on a rainy day.

Oh this is so true! Wellies were rubbish when we were little, I just threw my green ones I had as a teenager out because I got some lovely new colourful ones. These are gorgeous!

Thanks. Can’t believe you still had them after all these years!
