Toast to Tuesday: Show This Rainy Season Who’s Boss!
By Jacqueline Rezak
We have officially entered the spring season. You know what that means, time to break out those rain boots and umbrellas. To some, rain makes them think of sitting in bed and watching movies; but to others like myself, it makes me think of all of the accessories I get to dig out of the closet.
My favorite pre or post-work rain gear involves a cotton dress with leggings or a work blouse tucked into skinny jeans (I change into slacks or hose when I get to work) to avoid getting chilled by the damp rainy air. Then I don a trench, rain boots and a fabulous umbrella. I also make sure one or more of those rainy day accessories offers color and pattern to combat the gray backdrop. You take a work dress code and make it your fashionable own don’t you? Why not do the same with your outerwear?
In conclusion, during this seasonal shift I advise you to embrace the rain rather then let it get you down – even if it means going out to purchase a new umbrella, raincoat, rain boots or even all three!
