Well, Virginia, the worst is over. Hurricane Irene has passed, and it's time to clean up. And although my home state is still experiencing a record-breaking drought, some places do actually get lots of rain - and I go to school in one of them. My college, as beautiful as it is, is built on a swamp, and huge puddles accumulate all over campus when it rains. An alumna warned me about this before my freshman year, and told me to get rain boots. I ignored her, but guess what was on my Christmas list a few months later? Knee-high Hunter rain boots.
As wonderful as my Hunter boots are, sometimes you just don't feel like wearing stiff, knee-high, rubber boots all day, especially if you're going to be sitting in class for hours. And after three years in an extremely wet climate, I've found some fabulous alternatives to full-sized rain boots! Some are stylish, some are practical, and all are 100% waterproof.
