I’m going to be honest and say I’ve never owned rain boots before, but that’s because I never really needed them. However, I’m leaving for college soon and my mom suggested that I should get a pair of rain boots in case it ever rains (which it does, a lot, in Ohio) and I have to make the trek across campus sloshing in puddles.

I came across this pair from Nine West that caught my eye. They are currently on sale, which makes me want to buy it even more. It’s sold in two colors, and although I like it more in black, they don’t have the black ones in my size anymore. I’m a size six and luckily, they do have the army print ones in my size!

So do you guys think I should get these Nine West rain boots in army print? (Brunelda, $27.60 from Nine West). Is it too boy-ish for a girl? Or does it look chic? I’m really tempted to buy them, because I know Nine West is a good brand and buying $70 boots for only $27 is a great deal. Thanks for any and all advice.
