Guys! Happy #FASHIONWEDNESDAY! It has been nonstop rain and drizzling the past few days, so I thought I would show you my favorite rainy day outfit! I really don’t like the rain, but if it is going to be raining, you might as well look as cute as possible, amiright? On the day Michelle and I took these pictures, it definitely wasn’t raining (camera + rain = bad), so just pretend that there are puddles around me. 😉 Let’s just jump into this.
How To Dress Adorably In The Rain (or the pretend rain)
STEP ONE: Grab your favorite rain boots.
Obviously, if it is raining, one must wear their favorite rain boots. I love rain boots. A couple christmas’s ago, I was gifted these GOREGOUS red Hunter boots and I haven’t looked back since. In fact, after I got these as a gift, I immediately turned around and bought myself a second pair of black ones! And, I will probably get another pair pretty soon (there are some olive green ones that are calling my name). They work perfect for the rain (as they are solid rubber), but I also like to wear them during the snow. They hold in warmth incredibly well and in the 4+ years I’ve had them, they barely look worn. Life’s too short not to buy the cute rain boots.
STEP TWO: Wear a bold lip.
I have said it before. You know the drill. This will always be included in my How-To for any style. You don’t have to be wearing a stitch of makeup on any other part of your face, but throwing on a bright red (or pink…or plum) lip will ALWAYS pull your look together. When it is grey and colorless outside, I find that adding a bright lip often helps me to perk up just a little bit. You look better, you feel better, and you bring a little color in an otherwise blah day.
STEP THREE: Bubble umbrellas are the BOMB.
Ahhh. The bubble umbrella. I first sighted these amazing contraptions on Gossip Girl thanks to Serena and Blair (my fashion idols now and forever)….and from that day on I knew I had to have my own. So last summer, when Target came out with these for only $20 (linked at the bottom of the post), I jumped on them immediately. Not only do they keep you like 30% more dry — real scientific facts, I swear — they also make you look awesome. And to be honest, anything that makes me look more like I belong in Gossip Girl is okay by me.
STEP FOUR: Pick a statement top.
I don’t wear this shirt as much as I should but I love it because it goes perfectly with my rain boots and a red accent pieces. I have been getting into patterns more because I want to get out of my comfort zone. If you look in my closet, you will see dozens of monochrome cream, nude, black and maroon. I really wanted to break away from that a little bit so when I saw this at Express a few seasons ago, I jumped on it. This light weight button up isn’t “loud” but it does have just a hint of sass.
There you have it, ladies! My favorite way to dress for those rainy, fall days! It is getting a bit cooler and the rain is inevitable with the changing seasons. So, go grab your favorite Starbucks drink, and pick up a pair of Hunters to get you through the winter.
What is your favorite way to dress for the rainy, fall season?! I want to know!

Awesome look! I love my Hunter rain boots but they turn white after a while and lose their shine. Do you have any tips for that?
What color were they originally?

Love this whole outfit and look! I’ve always wanted hunter rain boots but I’m the type who is like well it only rains once in a while and I rarely go out in it – but of course once school starts I have to go out in rain, so these are a must on my list!

It totally is 🙂
I love your necklace and your lip color! I LOVE Hunter boots! I have a pink pair! I want to buy a red pair too!
These are so cute! I always struggle with learning how to pair rain boots with an outfit. I love the color of these boots as well.

Omg love the look!!! I have these boots and in black as well!!! Must haves for fall
My stepdaughters all have birthdays around Christmas…one of them really wanted these for Christmas, but we acted like we forgot and then surprised her with them for her birthday. She was so happy.
