Style Diary – Rainy Day Outfits

What I Wore to Work

Rain rain go away. How to look cute anyway?

In my last post, I did a round-up of the most fashionable wellies on the market. To further help combat your what-to-wear-on-a-rainy-day issues, I’ve collected some images of rainy day outfits to help inspire you. (It’s supposed to rain again Monday.) The first two outfits are from my closet and the rest are from around the world – including hypothetical outfits found online through Polyvore. Let me know what you think!

Celine boots (which I had sprayed so they were waterproof) $0 as they were gifted to me by my stylist friend
brown distressed leather motorcycle jacket bought on discount at Daffy’s for about $39
tight black pants that I bought from Big Drop in NYC for around $100 (a splurge but worth it given I’ve worn them for the past 10 years)
Chanel-inspired blouse from some Korean boutique – and brooch which didn’t come with the blouse but I tacked on last minute
Fendi tote
H&M leopard umbrella $9.99 -H&M has super cute umbrellas but I warn you, they’re not sturdy enough to withstand high winds

blazer -Alice & Olivia (bought at TJMaxx for $39.99 and I added the embroidered patch).
dress with ruffle bottom – Monteau bought at Strawberry’s for about $25
insulated wellies -Kamik
Chanel purse – gift
chain necklace – from Jasmine boutique in Boston, bangles – Claire’s boutique ehem, YES I said Claire’s

Below is a Polyvore set featuring the Chanel wellies I spoke about in my last entry.

Style Diary: Rainy Day Outfit -summer

August 22, 2011
What I Wore to Work

I was surprised to see that “rainy day outfits” was one of my blog’s most frequent google search terms. First on the ranking was even more startling…”andrej pejic” the male model that I wrote about once – yea just once. When people search his name apparently they come across my blog for the first time. His name is my blog’s most frequent search term with Olivia Palermo and rainy day outfits a close second and third.

It got me thinking that I need to write more about these 3 hot topics. So here I am posting my summer rainy day outfit, sort of as a continuation of my earlier post.

This outfit is a TJMaxx find, sorta a onesie for adults lol. It’s by Nanette Lepore. I’ve paired it with my favorite insulated wellies by Kamik, a studded belt and a necklace from a Korean boutique in NJ that I frequent.

Speaking of wellies, I just ran into the cutest pair from Kate Spade. The Randi style runs about $107 and comes in a few colors. My favorites are the fushia and the cream. Don’t you love the bow detail?

LOVE!

Ok and now onto the umbrella – did you notice how uniquely clear it was? These types of umbrellas were all the rage in Japan and ever since my trip there, I just had to get one. If you need a new umbrella, you might want to check out umbrellas.net

One of my favorites is this beautiful fushia vintage one for $129.

And I thought this white ruffly one was perfect for a wedding or a little girl.

Their umbrella selection is so cute that you’ll actually find yourself looking forward to rain. Another of my favorite umbrella finds is this comical black umbrella. What looks like your average and basic black umbrella is really a ray of sunshine from underneath. Can you say, “rain rain go away?”
