Singing in the Rain

It is a dreary rainy morning. Good for plants but not for planting. I am looking at this as a sign to shop for rain gear. First on my list is this heart-shaped umbrella (about $30) from Umbrella Heaven; (I like that the London weather forecast is right up front on their home page.)

It does come in red but I think the black has a lot more panache.

Then some boots. These are black rubber cowboy boots that are mid-calf with a 1 1/2″ heel. They are at Overstock.com and will run me $35.99.

Faux alligator, I suspect.

I do have a raincoat in the closet but it is a little heavy for a light rain. I like this one from an Etsy shop in Santa Barbara. It’s only $35.00 and has lots of pockets.

A rain coat has to be yellow.

Okay, the final gotta have. It’s from Shopstyle and wouldn’t you know it, costs more than anything else — $50. But that’s just the thing with gotta haves.

Of course, I can wear it with a lot of things.
