Spring is finally here, and why is it that I never remember about spring rain until it is 5 days into a nonstop downpour and I’m talking to doorknobs because I have not left the apartment? Ah, preparation – a virtue I definitely lack. Now that I live in rain country (Pacific Northwest), I have to stock up on rubberized… everything. How lovely!
Whether you are in a city of constant rain, or a suburb of random showers, it is always important to look cute when its soggy. There is nothing worse than feeling like the weather. Here are some choice weather-proofing options to help you survive spring showers. The flowers are coming next, I promise!
