Burberry Print Umbrella

I remember the days of my childhood when I would actually play in the rain. Careless and fancy-free ; I would get dressed in my crappy clothes. Put on my Dad’s oversized raincoat, grab an umbrella and splash and stomp in the puddles around my driveway.

Flash-Forward 20 years: Instead of embracing the rain, We, as adults run and shutter from every drop. I am constantly finding myself ill-equip for the rain. My gap poncho from high school is always conveniently stashed away in my trunk. Umbrellas? Sure ! I ‘ve got two of em! One on my porch so I can grab it on the way to my car (never-do), the other is an Ark & Co one (Great new designer who we brought on) that I got free at the MAGIC show. Where’s that one? In my car? Nope….

In place of a wine bottle in my wine rack….

So as you can see my rain preparedness… not so good. On days like this I also have trouble figuring out what to wear. I want to look cute, but it’s so hard when it really limits your shoe selection.

My solution: THE RAIN-BOOT!

I can dress in relation to my new water shoe and tuck my jeans in them so I avoid that awful wet ankle syndrome. So I’ve done my research and Target definitely has the cutest selection. I don’t want to spend more than $25.00 on something I will only wear once and while.

Here are my top choices( I also included an outfit sample with each boot)

So go ahead and cast your vote for which boot I should buy! I need your opinions! Just comment on this post and let me know. Soon, I will be back in action stomping in those puddles faster than you can say “Hair-Sprayed Bangs from 1987″
