Rainy Day Uniform
a lot of people find it odd that i prefer to wear dresses on rainy days instead of jeans and other types of trousers. i say to them, well, why not? it’s actually easier! i commute everywhere and with dresses i don’t have to worry about my hem dipping into yucky puddles or dragging my feet because the bottom of my jeans are completely soaked in water. right? RIGHT? who’s with me on this? (:
anyway, here is my typical rainy day uniform: a dress + tights, a coat of some sort, and a “waterproof” bag and shoes. and an umbrella too, of course! the one pictured here is the cutest one i own. my mom bought it in japan (or was it korea, hmm) and it has ruffles all around it. sucks that i couldn’t capture the print; it’s a bunch of cats with their own little umbrellas! so adorbs.

I totally agree on wearing dresses over jeans on rainy days, i also commute and really find it a lot easier to move with a dress or shorts 😉 *high five*

i'm totally with you on the dresses thing. so much easier in the rain! and i usually end up wearing heeled boots – keeps me out of the puddles!
very cute umbrella! you're adorable!

Haha I agree with you about wearing dresses in the rain, with tights and boots. Jeans and rain simply don't mix! Loving the peter pan collar again and your dress!

O M G that peter pan collar is delightful! I can already tell you're gonna be using it a lot to spice up practically everything! I need to get me one of those asap! I agree with you–dresses are better on rainy days. I hate the feeling of wet jeans!

I'm 100% with you on dressing up for the rain. I used to wear jeans a lot and when they got soaked, they felt really heavy and just so annoying to wear. Tights and skirt are now my staples for rainy day outfits 😉
LOVE THE COAT and you tinkerbell bun 😀
