Living in New England there are items that we have to have in our closets just to survive the weather. We think of these as necessities and as a result probably don't think of them as some of the more fashionable items in our wardrobe. If I'm planning an outfit for an event, and I find out that it's going to rain, this will definitely put a damper on my plan. I'll think "the weather is getting in the way of my cute outfit."
But just because these items need to be functional does not mean that they can't also be fashionable. There are plenty of brands that are coming around to the idea of making the functional items that we need a bit more fashionable. Suddenly our necessary weather related items can be a bit more fun.
One great example of this is a pair of Sorel boots I recently purchased from J.Crew. I have a pair of tall Sorel boots that are great for winter snow storms but I was looking for something that I could wear when walking in the slush and the rain. When you don't need a full snow boot but you don't want to ruin your shoes with the wet outdoor conditions, you need a weather boot that will get you through. Well, these are the answer.
These adorable boots were so popular that they sold out very quickly. However, there is currently another similar pair available online at J.Crew and on sale!
For sizing recommendations: I found that they run slightly on the smaller side so order a half size larger than you regularly wear. These will not only keep your feet dry and comfortable, they will be a great fashionable addition to your wardrobe!
