Hong Kong Work Boots



I have become a bit obsessed with Hong Kong workers (factory, restaurant) whom wear white wellies/work boots.  It's fashionable without trying and makes for amazing uniforms.  You often see men wearing them on the streets, the boots serve a function, yet look so sexy. It has given me inspiration.  Finding such "working class" wellies is not an easy task, as they are all too girlie with flower or plaid designs and generally trying to hard to make a statement.  Over the holiday, I found the perfect pair.  Awaiting a rainy day to wear them and fortunately, today is their debut.  Oh yes, and bright yellow.
