Anyone that knows me knows my strong dislike for rain. Don't get me wrong; I'm a California-raised child
of drought. I remember Ricky the Raindrop awareness presentations at school and I wholeheartedly support the well-being of our nation's farmers. It's just that...well, rain is so wet. It's cold, wet, and I really don't like when my pants have soggy hems.
I've seen a lot of women wearing bright, rubber wellies. They come in prints like cupcakes, tiny whales or apples- patterns usually reserved for kids. I'm one of those people that sees kids clothes and usually wishes they came in my size, so of course I'm completely behind this trend! One of my favorites has images of classic tattoos (ok, so maybe that one isn't exactly childhood-inspired).
While you can get wellies from several Ebates merchants including Nordstrom, I recommend Target. They have a huge selection of wellies for $19.99. And really, if we're talking rubber rain boots, why pay anything more?

So my issue here is I wear my jeans long, so I can wear heels. Really what we women need is wellies with a bit of heel.
You actually can get some rain boots with a heel. They have these ankle boots at Neiman Marcus:

They also have some really cute heeled Pucci rain boots!

Or, if you go for the flat ones, you could wear them with skinny pants and tuck them in.
I received the cutest pair of wellies from Banana Republic as a Christmas gift. And now I actually look forward to rainy days as my excuse to wear them!
