Here in the grand and wonderful Pacific Northwest, we have rain. Heaps of rain. Gobs of rain. Gargantuan amounts of rain. Sometimes it's called liquid sunshine...yet it bears no warmth in its "rays" so I say nix to that analogy.

I remember at college in Iowa when a few random drops would come out of the sky and umbrellas popped up EVERYWHERE! I even had one offered to me and not being quite as gracious as I should have been asked in confusion "Why?". But in my PNW brain...unless it's running off your nose, down your neck, and sopping into your jeans then it's not raining. Simply a mist or light sprinkle.

These fabulous boots are XTRA TUFF brand that I picked up when I spent a summer in Southeast Alaska. They saved me. These guys have soft walls that roll down when you want to {I wear them with shorts on warmer days} and the seal nicely around pants when the cuffs are tucked down inside. I know they aren't the chic Hunter boots that are all over Pinterest {follow me there too} But these are the real deal for real people who live in real rainy conditions and need something that lasts. Plus they are American Made. 'Merica!

So there's my not so fashion-y tip for you this thunderously deluging Saturday! Stay dry folks and don't forget to follow my blog!
