Style Diary: Rainy Day Outfit -summer

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?”

Style Diary: Navy outfit

What I Wore to Work

I’m constantly converting my day dresses into something more appropriate for work. And why not? I’m all about making my clothes work double-duty. In this case, all it takes is a blazer and making sure the skirt length is appropriate. Here, I’m wearing a Rebecca Taylor navy dress with pom pom trim. Here is a close-up of the dress’s skirt under the military, Forever 21 blazer.

The shoes are Christian Louboutin lucite stilettos with yellow bows down the middle that I found at a high-end consignment store. And the tote is Juicy Couture.

Here’s the back of the blazer – loving the feminine ruffles and how they offset the masculine military details. For more on my style and what I wear to work, click here.
