a few rainy day essentials in this outfit: black skinny pants for tucking into wellies (these particular ones have "equestrian" style patches on the inner leg, but i have tons of black skinnies in all different forms and materials), a scarf to protect my hair when the rain falls too lightly for an umbrella, and my patent leather bowler bag which has a slick surface so the rain rolls right off. there's a closeup of the bag here.
oversized shirt by "SHIRT" (from Intermix); Tt equestrian style pants (from Tokio7 consignment store); Balenciaga blazer (from eBay); street vendor sparkly scarf; Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather bowler bag (old, from Barneys Co-op); Elizabeth & James knuckle ring (from Intermix)
a knee-length sweater is great for the rain in case you want to wear a cute dress. this length sweater will guard against those stains that you get when you kick up water and splash yourself as you walk.
DSquared trench dress (from Century21); D&G lace leggings (from Century21); Vince hooded sweater; Marc Bernstein triple wrap bracelet (from Young Designers Market on Mulberry St.)
boyfriend blazers and wellies make a great combination and a baseball cap is great for shielding your face (and mascara!) from light rain.
Calvin Klein Collection blazer (from Housing Works Thrift Shop, the Columbus Ave. location); YSL tee (from YSL boutique on 57th St.); AG boyfriend shorts (from shopbop or revolve i think? i forgot); Ralph Lauren belt from TJMaxx
love all these outfits especially the top one!
ReplyDeleteI love that second outfit! The trench coat is a typical rain outfit, but the trench in dress form and a sweater over it, along with lace leggings, really makes it a unique look. Very cool.
ReplyDeletethank you so so much! all of the outfits look fantastic, i especially love the last one! thank you very much for responding to my request :)
ReplyDeletehmmm... do you guys think i should hem the dress a little? i didn't notice it when i wore it, but now after looking at the picture i'm thinking i should hem it about an inch, an inch and a half?
ReplyDeleteI think the current length looks great with the boots, but if it is something you want to wear with sandals in the summer, a shorter length would probably work better. Maybe pin it up and take a look?
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you; London seems to be having some brief respite from the rain but I doubt it'll last long.
ReplyDeleteI love the trench dress but I agree it would look even better, and show off your lace leggings better, an inch shorter.
PS don't you always think that 2 volume editions of books like War & Piece would be great for increased transportability?
this is kinda how I look these days...rainboots after rainboots. I like the hunter green, classic!
ReplyDeleteyeah I don't like the seating out there at all! Doesn't really scream performing arts to me...
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the apartment prices are like down there too... generally everything has gone down so much this past year with the recession and everything but, who knows? A lot of the restaurants in the meatpacking seem to be closing their doors too. sigh. rough times!
Love the last outfit - shorts and gumboots - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove all the outfits you paired with your boots!
ReplyDeleteHanh,
love the first outfit! the scarf is too cute!
ReplyDeletea seattle-ite here .. i chuckled a bit a the bus driver's statement. i hope everything is ok now weather-wise. we're having some pretty good sunshine on the west coast.
ReplyDeleteI’ve read some good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you put to create such a great informative website.
