Springtime Rainy Day Essentials ~ What I Wore

As winter melts into spring there are THREE items that I find essential to weathering the rain and dampness. 

1. Umbrella

An Umbrella is a must have for the rainy days of spring. 

I have small to mid size ones that easily fit into my handbags. But it is my walking Pasotti Purple Dalhia umbrella that I often reach for on wet days. 

2. Waterproof Footwear

Tall boots, mid-calf boots and slip on loafers in patent leather and rubber 

offer versatility and keeping feet dry.

3. Rain-coat/jacket

Trench coats, jackets and vests made of waterproof or water-resistant fabric are perfect for keeping you dry, and enabling layering to keep you warm.

My knee length Pink Tartan trench  in soft grey and pink toned floral print on white background is versatile for casual and business attire. It rolls up and tucks into a small pouch that fits in my handbag making it perfect for traveling. Here I used it on my trip to Ottawa.

On this day rain was not in the forecast but there was still a slight chill in the air ... my Zara vest was the perfect choice to keep me cozy warm over my sweater. And my Burberry cap kept my head warm.

Strolling Around Ottawa in Pink Tartan

I was recently in Ottawa for a speaking engagement and was happy that I brought along my Pink Tartan floral trench. It was a crisp morning as I walked to a local salon for a blow out.

With freshly washed and blown out hair, I'm ready to explore along Elgin Street.

 
 
 
 
 

This trench has become one of my favourite autumn wardrobe pieces. I managed to score it on sale in the summer and have been patiently waiting for the cool temps to arrive. It is beautifully lined and the back pleat is soft and flattering. And the floral soft pink and grey tones make it timeless.

Look at how convenient and space saving this trench packs up - whether for taking in your suit case or popping into your tote for those unpredictable early autumn days. 

Are you a trench coat gal?
