Rain or Shine

These next two looks will help you create a weather proof look for either rain or shine!

 this posts will show how to convert one item (the kate spade wynne dress) for any element mother nature chooses to throw at you! Tomorrow we will walk on sunshine, but today we’re singing in the rain with our wet weather look!

So lets get started by taking a look at how I used these pieces to weather the storm…

This dress is a great spring look, but I toned it down and darkened it up with bits of black

 I paired black tights with ridding boots to keep my from slipping in a puddle

The black belt and necklace kept the color scheme going, while a black headband helped keep my hair in control despite the weather.

 A pink contrast cardie plays off the colors in the dress while dressing down the overall look

 I always layer on the bracelets, even with long sleeves by wearing them over the fabric.

 I finished the look by pulling on a big black trench to stay dry!

I even added a vintage music note broach to my jacket for a bit of bling!
