While the sun seems to be out and shining for good now,
given Sunday’s deluge and the unpredictability of Texas weather, it seems to be
a pretty good idea to have a variety of options available for what to wear.
Everybody loves a good spring cleaning, but it can be quite an unpleasant
surprise when the day after taking one’s winter wardrobe into storage, the
weather decides to make one last encore performance of Disney’s
Frozen.
Don’t be caught off guard! Here are some fun ideas for rainy
day fashion (:
-Invest in some rubber rain boots. I have a rainbow polka
dotted pair that I bought for $20 from Wal-Mart. Is it raining? I wear them. Is
it snowing? I wear them. I will definitely be wearing them for the
eruption of Yosemite’s super volcano. Rubber rain boots are the Nokia cell phones of the
footwear world. They protect your feet from mud, keep your feet warm, and
prevent against getting the bottom of your jean’s wet.
-That being said, dark wash skinny
jeans are amazing. They
disguise rain spots and in case you slip and fall in any mud puddles. Skinny
jeans tuck neatly into rubber rain boots and stay dry, therefore keeping you
warm. Gross, wet, clammy feet are a thing of the past!
-Buy in a cute, but inexpensive umbrella. Accessories are
usually fairly inexpensive ways to quickly update and change a look. Also, if
it is a print you like, it will help cheer you up on a dreary, grey, rainy day!
-Trench coats=fierceness! They capture the allure and
mystery of film noir glamour. That and they can add some drama to an otherwise
very simple outfit! Is it laundry day and all that is left is that one embarrassing
jumper your great aunt gave you and a pair of jeans? Put your trench coat on
and never fear. The world won’t see your jumper.
-Layers are your friend whenever the weather is wet and cold.
Make like Shrek and realize that the best things in life have layers: cake,
lasagna, cute haircuts, the list goes on and on! The key is in picking the proper fabrics. Wear your favorite over sized sweater over a tank top and a skirt or shorts, even. To balance out the top, wear your favorite clunky
heels to keep your feet out of water. Or see Tip 1 and wear rain boots. It is amazing how versatile and easy it is to dress up rain boots.
Next time someone knocks on your door and asks you if you want to build a snowman, go ahead and say "YES!" because you will have awesome inclement weather style tips under your belt.
