“I need the seasons to live to the rhythm of rain and sun.” – Sophie Marceau
Rainy days don’t have to be a drag. As long as the temperature isn’t too frigid, it’s fun to go out and walk around in the puddles – just bring along waterproof boots and colourful umbrella and you’re set. I like this particular umbrella because it features the famed Hudson’s Bay stripes. Having a degree in history, I find that the stripes remind me of Canada’s past, which also makes me feel patriotic.
I also think it’s a good idea for everyone to have a trench coat in their wardrobe. It’s classic and works well in all seasons. I bought the one I’m wearing last year, and it’s particularly well suited for me because of its skirted style. I wear mostly dresses and I find that most coats look awkward when buttoned or zipped up with a fit and flared dress underneath. This trench coat solves that problem. Cropped or shorter styles work as well.
Next time it rains, don’t be afraid to splash around.
