I remember last summer, during the rainy season, you saw a lot of women walking around in these rubber boots, which we used to call "billy boots". An odd look but whatever. So was the cowboy boots + mini skirt look. Anyway, I noticed this look has caught on in Canada now, a year later.

(I would hazard a guess this look originated in Japan.)

I've been seeing them in St. John's, which is a fashion backwater, for the past couple of years now.

I don't remember seeing anyone wearing these rain boots in Seoul last year. Mostly kids wear rain boots, and everyone else goes around getting their feet and/or shoes wet in heels, flip-flops, or sneakers. As far as shorts and heels, they've been doing that forever here.

I used to see it more in Hong Kong. Not so much in the past year or so. So I guess it would make sense that it's now becoming popular in places like Korea and Canada.

I still where boots (not cowboy) with short dresses. I like the look.

Cowoy boots and hats were really like 4-5 years ago. The rain boots have been around for a while ,too. But if you like it, you should sport it!!

I still like them, too. Where what you like b/c then you feel more confident!! my 2 cents
