Decked out in my vintage bubble 60s umbrella and rain slicker ready for the floods!

I am the worst when the weather goes south. I wish New Jersey had California’s weather, but until then I have to get creative to make our numerous rainy days more bright! I was off to our Lousy Bowling league yesterday (yes that is the actual name, and with my high score of 44 yesterday, it’s nothing if not accurate) and of course was not prepared for the sudden downpour as I closed up the shop. I pulled a few things from the store and came up with this lovely look that kept me dry all night!

I paired a vintage 60′s bubble umbrella ($30 in the store) with a rain jacket I picked up at a garage sale ($5) with some great leather vintage boots that I got on Etsy and resoled ($25). Vintage umbrellas are a really good buy because they were made much better than today’s bargain brands and they look fabulous! What more could you ask for!

Bring on the rain!
