It’s raining today
After the beautiful weather I’ve got used to over the last few weeks it’s a bit of a shock to the system, though I do like the sound of the rain on my windows, it’s very calming, and for some reason rain on Sundays makes me think of being a kid. It must have rained a lot in the 80s….
I’m supposed to be going to a burlesque event in aid of a breast cancer charity this afternoon, and am likely to get quite soggy, so to cheer myself up I thought I’d look at some of the more stylish ways of keeping dry in the rain.
If your style is a little more funky and retro, then a classic vintage 80s zip front anorak might be more your style.
I am so sure I had one just like this!
A more elegant solution to staying dry is an umbrella. I adore umbrellas, I think they are beautiful, however I am also a terrible one for leaving them under chairs in pubs, so I never use anything too expensive or beautiful that I would be sad to lose.
If you are more organised than me then there are some beautiful vintage umbrellas on Ebay.
Of course, there is always the option of a vintage look umbrella without the possibility of discovering in the middle of a downpour that the preceding 50 years have rendered your beloved umbrella less than waterproof.
This modern reproduction is available from signature bella at $96 it’s certainly not cheap, but it is stunning!
So now I have some stylish ways to stay dry suddenly the rain doesn’t seen quite so gloomy…
