Rain, rain, rain ready!

It seems that the season is starting to get colder, and rain clouds are appearing more often. So are you ready for some rain, rain , and more rain?

Because I tend to travel quite far between home and school, or work, or wherever else, I always like to be prepared for bad weather, the last thing I want is to be soaking wet once I arrive.

One thing you should always have is an umbrella. A small foldable one you can easily stash in your bag is always handy to have. There are several ones in different shades of colors and styles. My favorite umbrellas are form totes. They're so cute, and they automatically close and open with a simple push of a button. So it's really convenient when you're getting out of your car, or getting ready to board a train. Don't leave home without it!

A nice pair of rain boots are also great to have to get you out of a muddy situation! So if it's pouring outside cast those heels aside and put some of these rain boots on. Sure, some of them may not be the most fashionable thing to wear. But it sure beats getting sooaked! One thing I hate when it rains is when the bottom of my jeans, or socks get wet from the rain. Or when you're walking along a sidewalk and a car speeds by splashing some mud onto your legs! So I never think twice about wearing some nice rain boots.

Look for one that fits well, and that is high enough to cover your legs! GEtting one in black is always a good idea because it will match everything! And it never hurts to own just 1 pair, because you never know when you'll need it!



A nice rain coat or jacket will also keep your clothes from getting wet. This may seem like something only kids wear, but grown-ups can wear them too. Just look for one that has a nice fit and style. And one with a bright color will definitely add a pop of sunshine in such dreary weather.

And if you're a lady who simply can't walk out the door without wearing makeup, wear one that's waterproof that won't smear or smudge! Just remember that the main point of being prepared for the rainy season is to simply avoid getting wet!

So why don't you share some tips and advice so we can all be prepared for the rainy season!
