A Classic British Winter With Rockfish Wellies

A Very Wet British Winter In Wellies

Where would we be if it wasn’t raining? It’s been constant lately with the storms and the wind, but surprisingly fairly warm for mid December. We shot these photos last weekend and luckily enough, as I wanted to wear my new Rockfish Wellies in Navy Gloss, it was raining, which made it the perfect outfit! I wore my wellies with my PAIGE Margot Skinny Jeans and a JOULES Eastleigh Gilet in Navy, to keep with the blue theme, but I wanted a pop of colour so wore my JOULES Burgundy Jumper too, which complemented my Lulu Guinness Umbrella!

As you know, I am a huge fan of Rockfish and I’ve been wearing their wellies for years (see here, here and here for some examples) and I own 3 pairs now! I actually prefer the brand to Hunter, despite me having more pairs of those, purely because of the comfort level. I always find Rockfish like walking on sponges as they’re so easy to wear, and the Navy Gloss shade is stunning! Which is why I have teamed up with Rockfish to bring you a new giveaway below! They might be my favourite pair that I own for classics! In the meantime, let me know what you think of this outfit in the comments below and tell me how you’re braving the rain! Lorna xx.

    Oh sounds like Seattle! This was what Seattle was like when I lived there. It has been rather rainy in NY lately which I don’t like. I prefer colder drier weather. But yes wellies are the best solution for the rain and this company sounds great. I bought a cheap pair and they fell apart.

      Oh yeah cheap ones are no use! They aren’t comfy either too if they’re too cheap. But yep, England is very much like Seattle, constant rain!

    Hi Lorna

    Rhat outfit looks fabulous on you. The shiny boots are great, but it’s the way you team your clothes and how you wear them to show of your body without trying too hard. It’s a gift you have.

    They are lovely rainboots and you wear them well! I smiled because for once we have the same weather! It’s wet and rainy here. Hot and humid and stormy too though so the temperatures are still different, haha!

    Good luck to everyone who can enter the giveaway!

    Hope that you are having a nice start to your week and are looking forward to Christmas 🙂

      Oh that’s crazy you have the same rain! I would like ours to be a bit more warm though, it’s like ice hitting you, ha ha 🙂

    Wellies are a must for the British weather, I own a couple of pairs of Hunters. Rockfish look really comfortable and those pair are a lovely colour x

    Not England, I guess. 🙂

    As always, you look lovely.

    Oh, these photos are so completely British. 🙂 The rain can be such an inconvenience yet also very pretty too. It certainly gives a gorgeous shine to the paving on that street. 🙂

    The wellies are great. That’s such a deep and rich blue and works really nicely with the jeans. 🙂

    I can certainly agree that comfort is essential in wellies if they are to be worn for any extended period. My new job requires me to wear wellies for 8 hours each day and I have to say that they are not the most comfortable ones ever. LOL

      Yeah, I liked the shine off the pavement too from the rain, and how it reflects the orange glow from the street lamps, it is pretty! Glad you like the wellies too 🙂

Thanks for your comments =) I read & reply every one =)
