rain, rain go away

I think we can all agree it’s time for these spring showers to end and for all of the flowers to come out! As ready as I am for blue skies and puddle free streets, there are two good things about rainy days (1) hanging out in bed watching movies all day (when they happen to fall on the weekend) and (2) wearing cute rain gear! I must confess, I have been biased to my Marc by Andrew Marc (old) rain jacket for the past five years, but have been slowly branching out into some new rain gear. What better way to brighten up an otherwise gloomy day than a cute pair of squeaky clean rain boots and a trendy knee length trench (and knowing that you’ve got that slightly washed out, but incredibly comfortable black dress underneath!)? Below are some items I’ve come across on my online shopping that I think fit my “work chic” criteria. We all know throwing a bright yellow poncho over a pencil skirt just doesn’t work… See my top picks below and let me know your favorites! Click for details & links (lots on sale!)
