Cute Rain boots in lieu of Plueys

I've been dreaming of Plueys Rain Boots since last year. And even though I believe in Law of Attraction, it's something that I did not really want to ask from the Universe. I just want the next best thing. 

I just think it's impractical for me to buy Plueys rain boots for 2 grand. It's nice to have really nice and sturdy rain boots but it's not like I need it for my lifestyle. Yes, it's cute to strut in these cute boots but again, UPLB weather is very unpredictable every day. Rubber sandals are a good way to go.

But, it doesn't mean that I am not in the look out for cute rain boots. I was hoping to get something that's inexpensive but just as cute. Then one weekend, my sister came home and got me these rain boots in lieu of Plueys:

Of course, my sister got her own boots too. In a classic Aprille Araguas Fashion, it is in hot pink:

I forgot how much the hot pink boots costs but she got my black polka dot rain boots for less than 300!
