Style Diary – Rainy Day Outfits

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 Star – Olivia Palermo

You’ve seen my photo with Olivia at New York’s Fashion Week.   Now see her daily outfits this month at Vogue’s UK site!

I’ve always admired Olivia Palermo’s fashion sense and personal style as I think she dresses in a classy, fashionable manner – kind of sophisticated for her age too.  So it was interesting and refreshing to see how she mixes the high and low on a daily basis (something I try to do daily).  It seems she has a penchant for designer purses i.e. Hermes, and Chloe, and effortlessly mixes in vintage finds with Ann Taylor and Zara!  Here are a couple of my other favorite looks from Olivia.

Thanks to the fashion spot, we’ve got a couple examples on how anyone can copy her look for less.

And if you’d like more inspiration from Olivia Palermo’s wardrobe, you can actually search her name in Polyvore.com and find sets inspired by her outfits then learn where to buy each piece!

She has since moved out of her Tribeca 1bedroom but this is the only available picture of Olivia Palermo’s closet which was 63 sq. ft and made with Elfa shelves.  You know how I love the sneak peek into celebrity closets!  Here are two other recent entries about celebrity closets if you want to see more. 1. 2.
