rain on my parade

one thing i learned from last year's wet, washed-out summer (it felt more like typhoon season at times) is that you shouldn't let the rain cramp your style.

one caveat: you have to spare your pretty footwear from dirty puddles.

i trust the weatherproofing of this jacket so much that i just toss my blackberry and iPod in its pockets and run out the door, umbrella be damned.

    I've loved that top since your stylediary days (I keep saying stuff like this - how creepy of me!). And you're right about last summer - it was insanity.

    I like the look very much! Specially the lace top!
    Hunters! Aaah! I have one and they are pink! everytime it rains I wear them! I should buy more colours i guess...

    very sweet look. this inspires me a bit - I have a wedding coming up mid-april that I need to dress for, it's a spring/garden/day (but in a good way) theme an I play a small part so I don't want to stick out as a downer in my usual all black. so here's a READER REQUEST for more inspiration :)

    Wow, that top looks very nice... ...although I don't remember it from the Style Diary days :-D

    It would probably very easy to DIY from some vintage crocheted lace... ...hmmm...
