Yay or Nay Wednesday

Yayornay_14The Tamara Henriques wellingtons we featured last week received quite a warm reception, particularly given how wet the weather has been lately; but what of this colourful, pirate-inspired offering?

Reminiscent of the arms of a swashbuckling seaman, do they deserve to dally with danger on the high seas or walk the plank? 

It's up to you.  Yay or Nay?

Maybe for little girls up to the age of six. But seriously? For adults? nay

Nay. No matter how much you try to disguise them, they are still wellies i.e. ugly. My mother made me wear wellies to school whenever it rained, and to this day I remain devastated at the memory.

Laughed out loud at the image before I even read the accompanying text. YAY! These would entertain me every time I had to slog through five blocks of unshoveled sidewalks to the subway at 5:30AM this winter.

I don't know, I think they are kind of cute in a playful way. Probably best not to wear these into the Office mind you..

YAY.

In SoCal rain is a novelty... I think the novelty of these would go well with it. They would be a hit at my office I'm sure.

oh yay! For accessories like this (and umbrellas, and so on) I think playful is good. Just don't wear them to a job interview.

Yay. Love them. Love the color, love teh pattern.

Yay. I live in a place where it rains all winter. These would be fun to slosh around in.

Yay!

They're really nice and they are perfect with the rock look that is so hot this season.

Posted by: Catherine | November 23, 2006 2:35 AM

Yay!

These are cute, cute, cute!!! Not everyone should wear them, granted...but they're CUTE!

Posted by: jodie | November 23, 2006 7:30 AM

Yay - the would be cute for gardening.

Posted by: Camilla | November 23, 2006 9:33 AM

Yey! i love them, ya know for actually walking around a field in. Not for walking down the highstreet in though.

Posted by: A | November 23, 2006 10:39 AM

YAY, they'd look great with baggy jeans tucked in and a jacket with poet sleeves... since they are so mishmash, the look would be mish mash too... Great colours and a lot of fun in the grey, dismal rain...

Posted by: Peri | November 23, 2006 11:00 AM

Yay! Cute, funny, lovely colours. Love them!

Posted by: arelya | November 23, 2006 2:25 PM

Yay from me... I actually have a pair of multicolored wellies, and as Camilla says, they're great for gardening in. Not sure I'd wear them anywhere else, mind you :)

Posted by: Amber | November 23, 2006 2:29 PM

yay~ im all for cute colours- not 'emo' and strictly blk/red/wht combo which would quite uninspiring.

send us aussies down under some rain!! drought, fires and water restrictions cripple us!

~rain, rain, we need you,~
~to feed our trees and animals too..~

Hi!

I saw this webpage in a shoe document that they showed here in Finnish TV. Wellingtons have come back to fashion in here also. You can see these pages:

Nay, definetly nay. I know it's a trends with all the rain, but really, should anyone who has gone through puberty be wearing rain boots? I don't think so.

Posted by: jane | November 24, 2006 4:58 AM

NAY!!!! If I were 7 years old I'd think they were really cool.

Posted by: cherry | November 24, 2006 4:49 PM

I HAVE to say YAY as i've had these boots for a month now! I adore them (mainly because i have very similar tattoos). They keep dreary days bright- and yes wellies are ugly as sin- but they work great...So there!
