If your weather has been anything like in Alabama lately, then you're probably sick of rain. Nothing ruins an outfit like a rainy day. If you wear your best outfit despite the bad weather, you risk ruining it, yet the alternative of rain boots and a water resistant jacket don't exactly seem appealing either (especially if the rain persists for days). So what's a girl to do? All the rain lately got me thinking (which in turn got me shopping), and I discovered the cure to bad weather outfit of pauxs. You can put the rain galoshes down!
If you've taken the time to wake up and style your hair, chances are the last thing you want to do is throw a hood over your head. Reach, instead, for your umbrella. And since we're talking about rainy day "chic," why not make it a fabulous Kate Spade umbrella? I love this Japanese Floral print umbrella. The pop of coral is sure to brighten up your walk through the dreary rain and keep your hair perfectly styled.
Rain jackets can clash with an outfit, often looking a little more casual than is appropriate for work or a date. This is where trench coats save the day. Functional both as a light weight jacket on cool days or a rain jacket on those stormy days, trench coats are so very chic and functional, making them worth the money. This Marc by Marc Jacobs jacket is perfect for spring/summer with the pop of neon, making it a little more fun than a plain khaki coat.
Just because the weather is bad doesn't mean time stands still. You've got places to be and things to do, all on a tight schedule. Don't ruin your leather band watch, try this beautiful rubber watch by Anthropologie. Colorful, water resistant, and not to mention classically chic, you won't mind switching things up when you've go this gorgeous timepiece.
If there's one thing a girl needs every time she steps out of the house, it's her purse. We do tend to carry our whole lives in there practically! The nemesis to your beautiful leather bag, however, is rain. I've been guilty of creating rain jackets for my leather bags out of plastic grocery bags. Thanks to the brilliant minds at Kate Spade, now you can avoid all the hassle of protecting your purse. The 'Island Flora Melinda' satchel is beautiful and conveniently made of vinyl to repel water. Who knew your rainy day bag could possibly be your new favorite?
Wellies are fun on occasion, but when it looks like the rain is here to stay, those big rubber boots just won't suffice for everyday wear. So what's the alternative? Jellies! We all remember wearing rubber sandals in the springtime of our youth, and as a product of the 90s I still smile when I see cute shoes made of rubber. Luckily I found an updated and matured version of the 90s fad, with this Gucci rubber wedge (also available in black). Stay cute and don't ruin another pair of shoes in the rain!
