Rain Gear

With the ever looming onset of fall, the future months promise to bring lots of rain and other sorts of precipitation. Since I rarely see snow, just lots of rain, in the winter it is time to focus on rain wear that will keep me dry and warm while protecting my clothes, but still look just as fashionable as what is underneath. The 3 essentials are:

• rain coat
• umbrella
• rain boots aka wellies

All 3 aformentioned items should coordinate in some way, although you don't want them all identical in print and/or color unles you like resembling a walking blob.

Here are my favorite picks to add a bit of cheerfulness to an otherwise dreary day.

Rain Coat

• Pink AND affordable
• always the very chic Burberry
• a sporty number by Lacoste

Umbrellas

• Lulu G.-looove the strawberries and polka dots
• Large and in charge!
• from Cynthia Rowley's affordable Swell like, this is sure to make you smile

Rain Boots/Wellies

• Colorful Stripes
• I just love polka dots!
• Black with red hearts

Well girlie girls, I hope you find something that works for you. Any of these options will make you happy to venture out in a downpour. I myself will be stocking up on LG's strawberries and polka dots umbrella, the multi-color polka dotted boots, and the Gallery hooded snap front coat in lilac. Looks like the forecast calls for cute!
