Rainy day blues... and reds

How to dress for work on rainy days.
A gray-blue cloudy sky is the perfect backdrop for pops of color.
Although I have a collection of rain boots, I often turn to my Ferragamo jellies or patent leather Tory Burch flats. I prefer flats when rain boots may make me too hot or when I need to go straight to court or a meeting without changing my shoes.



A closed-toe shoe in a fun color is work appropriate if you are styled conservatively. Purses are also another way to add color to your work outfits. My purse rule is the brighter the color, the more structured your purse should be.
This outfit could have used a statement necklace but I opted for a simple diamond pendant necklace since I sported a red lip (Mac's ruby woo).

Speaking of rain boots and flats, have you tried the Hunter flats?
I thought I saw a more traditional Hunter wellies turned flats style in one of my last Neiman Marcus catalogs but I cannot find them online.


For Hunter rain boots reviews see Fast Food & Fast FashionSew Petite Gal, and Petite JD.

Outfit details:
Chanel GST purse, Commando opaque stockings, Diamond pendant necklace
Datejust Rolex, Tahari Dress, Tory Burch reva flats

  1. Your blue Chanel tote is to die for! I got so used to seeing plenty of black Chanel bags that it's actually lovely to see something as unique as your bag.

  13. Hello,

    Thanks for your kind comment on my blog.
    Finally, another fashion blogger sharing professional attire outfits! I need more of that for inspiration!
    I love that blue Chanel purse anyway. I have a similar color purse, but not Chanel, just some unbranded haul, which I love just the same!
    I'm going to browse some more of your blog now.

  17. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it
    can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I
    had to share it with someone!

  23. Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
    something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
