Do you have any Galoshes? If not, what do you think of them?

I got some awesome ones at Target:

They are love.

There was also David-Jones-pattern-like ones and blue ones. There might be some more there, I'm not sure

cute, but i wouldn't wear them

I saw some heaps cute gumboots in the winter General Pants Co. magazine. I want to get a cheap pair. I used to wear them all the time when I was younger.

 

[bubz :D]

i got a pair of beige coloured boots in HK back in 2000 for around AUD$30, everyone said they looked liek gumboots haven't worn them in ages!

i saw a pair of blue skipping girl gumboots with clouds all over them, they were sooo cute but i'd never have worn them

 

[spin spin sugar]

you all need to get some balls!!!

i just got the most GORGEOUS gum boots from ebay.co.uk, but theyre just slightly too big... theyre like the target ones only black and white polka dots, with a blue trim + blue buckle. i'm going to have to re-sell them i guess, which sucks, theyre so so so gorgeous.

i love your target ones, did they have plain colours too? a girl at uni wears yellow ones from milan, they look unreal on her, yellow is such a versatile colour though people think it isnt.

they're awesome, but what do you wear them with?

 

[spin spin sugar]

anything, ive seen them worn over skinny jeans, with girly skirts, even over checked kinda trousers and theyve looked awesome, its just something different

silly! tshose r only 4 wens it wet!

 

[katietheskatie]

yeah, i think they'd look good with pants. not necessarily jeans, but like slightly offbeat old man pants, hahah. don't think i could pull off wearing them with a skirt though.

sigh. i need to get over wearing thongs every day.

yeah, the girl with the yellow ones from milan wears them with kinda man pants. looks funky. i think they would look cutest with skirts though, like a floaty skirt and tights and gumboots. way cute.
