Snow is paralysing the whole of Britain, no cars, trains, buses or planes. Yesterday being the worse day: most people couldn't get to work. Most shops were closed but people were having walks in the snow with their children. British people hadn't seen so much snow in 18 years and were happy having snowball fights and building snowmen. And what is the essential accessory in order to play in the snow? In order not to have water dripping in your shoes, making your feet wet and making you crave one thing: a hot shower... Well, the one accessory is Wellington boots. But not just any Wellington, not the Green and plain Hunter boot.
Monday 2nd April could have been renamed National Stylish Wellington Boot Day as going out meant getting your best Wellingtons on. Flowers, dots, animal print, shiny rainbow colours, everything and anything could be seen on the streets. Women, really who made such an effort, or were naturally stylish in "stand out of the croud boots". Outfits consisted essentially i
n plain ski outfits but the Wellingtons were enough to make the whole look seem original.

Hey, this is a good idea. Who else do you think should create Wellingtons? Are they in fashion or fashionable or just plain useful?

This is a great idea Leah and very topical. What about Moonboots? Surely with an '80s revival rearing it's head Moonboots are a valid option too?
