Rainy day trench... with a playful twist!

Spring is officially in full swing and it’s only a matter of time before the April showers arrive. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of seriously cute rain jackets and wellies to go around. (Like so cute that you secretly want it to rain just so that you can whip out your favorite rainy day essentials. Well, almost anyway.) To prove that rainy day chic can be done, I’m sharing an #OOTD that I wore despite the not-so-pleasant weather. Now, if only I could find a way to combat frizzy hair!

As I like to say: Rainy days are just an excuse to get dressed up. Am I right?!

LOVE the pop of red! Every rainy day trench needs this much personality.

Ugh, someone please tell me how to combat frizzy hair on a rainy day! This was taken earlier in the day before I decided that a ponytail/messy bun was obligatory.

After snagging the cute navy rain coat above at a J.Crew Warehouse Sale back in November, I had been anxiously waiting for a rainy day to wear it. Can you blame me?! I proceeded to pair it with a "fun" ruffled sweatshirt and gingham pants for a preppy-whimsical look. Since it wasn't a downpour, I was able to top it off with a pair of old sparkly ballet flats.
