According to the receipt these bad boys cost $26.78. And they were worth every penny.
The weather in the city has been less than ideal with what I know to be, traditional Ontario Winter conditions. The thermometer must be confused as hell. One second it's a snowy blizzard and in the next moment it's a Spring day, raining like it's April.
I walked up to the bank over the weekend, which is about a 6 block walk. By the time I had arrived I was kicking myself for not bringing along an extra pair of socks. My poor, sad excuse for canvas Winter boots were soaked from the slush.
I hurried home before I became too chilled. I then quickly rerouted my day, heading over to the closest Winners to pick up some good ol' gum boots or wellies if you like.
Haven't been able to peel them off since that moment of purchase. They may not be the most fashionable statement as I believe that fad has faded, but I just don't care.
They're comfortable, they keep my feet dry and you have to admit stomping through slushy puddles like a 5-year-old is rather invigorating.
Most of all these new friends are reliable through very unreliable weather conditions.
*Another mini blizzard is on it's way for the GTA tonight.

Hi Robyn!
I don't have your cell # on me and my journalistic skills failed me in finding an email for you, but I recalled you saying you kept a blog.
So I officially stalked you. Flattered? ;)
You're going to laugh, but I'm wondering if you are free to babysit tomorrow night at Keele and Parkside, I think that's your neighbourhood right? It's for those people from England I mentioned to you, they have a 1-yr-old and a 3-yr-old ... I'm sitting Saturday but they were wondering if I knew anyone who could sit Friday night because I can't.
Let me know!
Thanks darling.
Michelle Collins :)
