Along with the delicious pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween costumes and gorgeous changing autumn leaves comes the inevitable and dreaded cold, wet and rainy fall days. Yeah, those days look great from behind the window in your warm apartment with a steaming cup of tea in hand, but once you have to face the elements on your walk to class, some trusty accessories come into play. Don’t get caught out on these miserable days without some key components of this Fashionista’s look: umbrella, trench coat and smile!
Not only is this Fashionista ready to brave the elements, she’s dressed to impress. Who said all rainy-weather gear has to be angular and slippery? If you can handle a little breeze on your legs, follow this Fashionista’s lead and wear a comfortable and cute dress and cover it all up with a chic trench a la Kate Moss. This trench coat is versatile and simple–key components of any outer gear you’ll be donning for most of the season. I love how this Fashionista’s version has a little twist of plaid lining the cuff you can choose to show off or not. If you’re headed to a classy event, throw on some black heels with a chic twist and most importantly, aren’t too high that’ll you be tumbling off the sidewalk all night. Plan according to how far you’ll be walking, but there’s no need to sacrifice all your hard-earned sophistication because of some ill-timed weather!
My favorite detail in this look is the clear bubble umbrella. Maybe not everyone stresses over matching their umbrella to their look like I do, but with this Fashionista’s version, worry no more! Not only does it look great with any outfit, but it also takes care of the peripheral-blindness that comes with huddling under an umbrella. Pick one of these versatile pieces up and stand out from the crowd while staying dry!
How To: Pick out your favorite casual dress then class it up with some heels (weather permitting) or rain boots to add a whimsical twist. Don’t forget the two most important details: a classic trench coat and a bubble umbrella.
