Going Green in Fashion

Gas prices are just getting too ridiculous. Both of our cars take premium gas which hurts even more when we fill up at the pumps. I personally don't mind the gas price increase because I think it will naturally drive us to innovate and create better mass transit and more fuel efficient cars. However, I decided that I didn't want to contribute to the problem so I'm going to start taking the bus to work 2-3 times a week. I took the bus all through college and I hated it during the rainy season, which is about 9 months out of the year here in the Pacific Northwest. Now just because I want to go green doesn't mean I can't do it in fashion. So I figured I could use the money I save on gas to shop for accessories for my commute. The first item on the wish list is rain boots.

Chooka Signature Printed Rain Boot - $59.95. These are adorable with the cute little whale prints. And affordable too.


Juicy Couture 'Sammy' Rain Boots - $107.95. I probably wouldn't get these in pink but they're just so darn cute in that colour. These come in black as well which would be more versatile.


Burberry Rain Boot - $195. These would be my first choice but I would have to take the bus for 2 months to save up enough gas money to buy these. But a girl can dream... These boots will go with any outfit.

Have you seen these:

They are umbrellas for your shoes and they way the wrap around makes them look chic. I just wonder how well they would really work with stilettos which could hurt the rubber.
