Passion de Vivre: Rainy Days

The past few days I've been in Blacksburg doing stuff for RHF during freshman orientation. As luck would have it, it has poured almost constantly since I got here, despite the fact that there's been hardly any rain here at VT for the last month. Although I remembered an umbrella, I've had to go without boots or any sort of jacket. So, while I was stuck inside, I decided to put together three looks for rainy days like today.

Look 1: Flirty and Feminine

This look is very feminine and sweet, combing classic "girl" colors like pink and purple with beautiful floral prints. It definitely adds some color to an otherwise cloudy and gray day.

1. Women’s Guess Hooded Double Breasted Belted ¾ - Wilsons Leather, $71.95

2. Totes Floral Purse Umbrella – Target, $14.99

3. Liberty of London for Target Poppy Print Rain Boats – Target, $29.99

Look 2: Bold and Modern

This outfit is sure to get you noticed with its bold zebra print and use of primary colors. Prepare to stand out while still looking chic and put together.

1. Totes Bubble Umbrella in Yellow – Target, $16.99

2. Black Rivet Asymmetrical Zip Front Fabric ¾ - Wilsons Leather, $59.95

3. Dirty Laundry Roadhouse Waterproof Rain Boot – DSW, on sale for $44.95

Look 3: Classic and Preppy

This outfit is perfect for work or any occasion where you need to look professional and put together. The neutral trench will go with almost anything in your closet, and the scarf and umbrella add just a little color to a fairly simple ensemble.
