Day 5 started off on the wrong foot for most Baltimorians...rain. But I never fear a day of tragic weather...I actually secretly look forward to them, as I need a reason to wear one of my endless collection of weather specific boots. This rainy day called for my favorite rain obsessions, short lace up
Hunter boots (currently on sale for $89)! As 3 of
my very closest friends can attest, I nearly had a seizure when I saw these beauty's sitting on the round display tables in Niemans. I had mentally already purchased them before trying them on...thinking of where the closest ATM was since I didn't have an AMEX at the time (thank god that problem has been fixed!)
I love that these boots have the ability to be cute, stylish, not bulky, and yet still protect you from the elements just as well as the tall Hunters...though as anyone knows with Hunters there is not much insulation and they have yet to make little warmers for these ones yet. *cough cough* I'm still waiting! To go with the outdoorsy green color I decided to rock some maroon flannel plaid from
AllSaints and grey skinny's...in a look I like to call the "Metro in the Great Outdoors."
Of course as any proud fashionista knows...
NO RAIN OUTFIT IS COMPLETE WITHOUT BURBERRY!!! To fulfill this requirement I went with my fitted moto style jacket rain jacket. What is most amazing about this jacket is that it folds up in to its own pocket which doubles as a carrying case for travel. If only all my clothes packed themselves! I topped off the look with my crocodile bag from
Zara...yes it is imprinted pleather, but it definitely is works. Why buy the real thing? Honestly how often can a man rock crocodile?
As a reminder...and I've said it once and I'll say it a hundred more times, THERE IS NEVER AN EXCUSE FOR BAD FASHION! WEATHER INCLUDED!!
Stay dry and fashionable.
Love.
