HOT PINK BOOTS ARE NOT FOR WORK

From The Right-Side...

Here I go, with more British and South Florida prattle.

But, when I spied a stylish lady rocking these hot pink work-type boots (the model is a sweet person, we will just refer to her as W), I immediately thought of the United Kingdom.
Taking the boots for a cocktail..

Why?

Well, Wellies, of course.

The UK has their way, and we in South Florida have our way. But, on either side of the pond, we know how to pull off wearing rubber boots.

Back in the day, the first Duke of Wellington wore this style and it became the rage for hunting (I do not approve), gardening and other outdoor what-have-you. Thus, the Wellington boot was born.
These Wellies are made for walking and hunting.


Wellies is only one nickname of many. But, my favorite is Topboots. It just sounds like some  farmer named Freddie Astaireington would tromp around or pirouette in the garden.

Most of the Wellies I have seen are in dark, earth tones. Guess they are easier to keep looking good, so that makes sense.
Work boots, So-Flo style.

But, if one wears hot pink boots of any sort, it should be for drinking gourmet coffee or exotic cocktails, not for hunting or any sort of work.

Actually, wearing hot pink work boots in the land of alligators and the flamingo means ditching them and heading your bare feet to one of the gorgeous Atlantic beaches.

Gotta dash...
