Being in the Pacific Northwest, we don't really have much of a choice but to endure the rain. However, attitude and mantras can have a lot to do with the way you emerge from Winter. Will you stumble into Spring beat-down with ripped clothes, crawling into the sun or will you be one of the lucky ones who perches her kitten heels into the sun lane, presses "Go" and dallies into warmer weather (112% of me is positive that that statement makes no f*cking sense)?
The warmer weather was here... and then it hastily left and yesterday was a soppy mess with downpours and amazing thunder. Well you know what? My Mama said they'll be days like this, they'll be days like this Mama said (Mama said, Mama said)... so thank goodness she instilled this mantra in me from the time I was very young:
All rainy days deserve
a bright umbrella.
{The Children's size umbrella is the perfect size}

You definitely have the cutest rainy day attire, so sweet!
I adore unique umbrellas, I have one that comes from the children's department too:)

You rock those clothes whichever way you wear them or combine them. Even the umbrella. Just don't use it in NY if you ever come this way or you'll be one giant highlighter around here. And then may get that stolen. People here light to steal shiny and bright stuff.
ooh yes girl completely agree. last year i got a free victoria's secret umbrella with a purchase [on a day it was pouring no less] so u know i rock that shit! and im actually hunt the hunt for a nice plain umbrella to use just in case its raining on the wedding day! wedding pictures in the rain are... kinda pretty lol
Gah! You look incredibly tall in the last picture! I LOVE your yellow umbrella; I myself own a Hello Kitty umbrella. No joke! :P
How cute are you?? I bought a sweater almost exactly like that in NYC! J'adore!
Love the bright yellow!! You are so cute!
I don't think it rains enough in San Diego for this to be a problem. But girl those are some fierce boots!
OMG I HAVE THE SAME UMBRELLA And i am using it today because it's raining! LOL. that's so funny. it barely covers my body bc it's a child's umbrella. i need that see thru one with flowers- too cute.
Just bought myself a rockin little umbrella from the Target! LOTS of pink and polka spots!!
Adore this! And agree, I don't understand that statement - lol :)
I have a bright pink trench coat and fun rain boots. Can't be bummed out wearing that out of the house!
what darling umbrellas - you look so cute with your yellow one! what a perfect way to cheer up on a dreary day.
by the way thanks so much for your thoughtful comment about my BK post - you always have the most sweetest things to say and if your sister made it through i hope i can too! ;)

Pretty sure I need a bright umbrella now!
love your h&m sweater. i'm in love with stripes. when i lived in l.a., i swore never to wear them because they myth was, "they made you look fat" but that was then. fat or not, i love me some stripes. i love that red plaid umbrella, too! i have a pink and brown striped umbrella from the gap, but i think i need a new one. it's from a couple of years ago. powell's has some cute ones, they're like the red plaid only a little smaller that the regular size which i like. i forgot the brand though.
love it! i had the cutest leopard print umbrella (ok it was a cheap totes one) but i cant find itttt! so this is making me want a new one :-)

You make an umbrella look good!! I live in the Tri-Cities, WA and absolutely LOVE Portland. I actually lived in Welches, OR when I worked at Mt. Hood for a winter. The best time of my life! I am SO not a big city girl but I would move and live in Portland in a second!
Ok and I just looked at your blog a little more and saw how you are a fan of Britney. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE her. I have loved her from day one and have never ever waivered, not during her hair shaving crazy days or anything! I can recite the words to every single one of her songs, especially her old stuff, that is my favorite :) Glad to see another Britney lover out there!!
happy umbrellas make everything better. :)
You look stunning... and the umbrella is a nice touch
I love, love, love this outfit post.
Reminds me that spring is right around the corner. I love the yellow. And Spring showers means May/Summer Hotness on Candyfloss & Persie, I'm sure :)
I LOVE that you are using a children's umbrella! It's adorable. I think that rain boots and a cute umbrella is all you need to survive rainy days!

The umbrella on top right is so stinkin' adorable.
I love cute umbrellas! That bubble one is adorable!!
Happy Friday!
