What:
Trench Coat: Jones New York
Umbrella: Street Vendor
Jeans: Forever 21
Rain Boots: JCrew, Gift

Where:
Work

Why:

The forecast is rain; all day. So I thought, why not do an outerwear post today?In New York, especially in the winter, your jacket or coat is just as important as your outfit. Many more people see you in your coat, and they see that coat every day all season long.

I grabbed this metallic navy trench at the beginning of spring. I liked the color and the classic cut, as well as the hem line. Most of my trench-coats are longer and past the knee (best for snow and fall downpours), this length is perfect for spring and summer showers.

The boots were a gift I received upon my High School graduation. They are covered with bees (the mascot of my Alma Mater), and I think the bright color and youthful look really brighten up a rainy day. I don’t have an exciting umbrella, just a sturdy one. You go through so many umbrella’s in New York, leaving them places, breaking them, etc. that I have yet to invest in a “pretty” one. Either way, I’m happy to be staying dry today, and looking cute at the same time!

Happy Friday!
