When It Rains On Your Parade

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."
Gilbert K. Chesterton

Summer brings afternoon thundershowers almost everyday, especially on the coast of Florida, and with the humid air, dressing for them can be a hard task. Whenever it's raining all I want to do is curl up on the couch, and watch a movie, but that's not usually possible with my busy schedule. I' ve decided to share my tips on dressing for a rainy day. It's not as hard as you might think.

1. Add color to your outfits! Rainy days can be depressing, and tiring. Add color to your outfit to make your day a little brighter, and more fun!!

2. Buy a fun umbrella! Kid umbrellas are cheap, fun, and perfect for one person. There are so many different options for umbrellas, so there is really no excuse for sticking to basic black. Buy a couple of colorful umbrellas, to add color to your look.

3.  A classic trench coat is always perfect for rainy weather. There aren’t many inexpensive and cute trenches in stores right now as it’s summer, so I didn’t include many in the outfits below. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love them! The trench coat is SUCH a classic & essential piece that’s perfect for all occasions and especially rainy days.

4. Be careful of the materials you wear in rain. I’m sure you probably know this already, but just in case… Suede is off-limits in rain because water usually ruins it, and leather that hasn’t been treated with a protectant can easily be damaged by water as well. Don’t risk ruining your clothes – go with rubber, pleather, or protectant-treated leather shoes in rain and leave your favorite suede handbag at home.

5. Go crazy when it comes to rain boots. There are so many cute rain boots out there today to fit any sense of style – they literally come in every color under the sun. Have fun and find a pair you love! Much like umbrellas, you can go completely nuts with your rain boots and no one will mind

I put together, and found a couple of perfect rainy day outfits, that are sure to brighten up anyone's boring, rainy day.....

Pairing simple colors like black, and white, with a bright color like pink, you are sure to not only brighten up your own rainy day, but others too!

This casual summer, rainy day outfit is perfect for when it's raining and super humid out!

This is a great outfit, for when it's raining and you have to be a little dressier! This fun dress and blazer combo it great if you have to do business, the black rain boots, are dressy, and mod enough to wear to work, and still give you a fun look. The cheetah print umbrella, adds some fun to a rainy day!


What's your go to rainy day outfit?


Until next time,
