I just have to share my new raincoat with you!

It is from Banana Republic, but I can’t find it online.  Maybe it is still in stores?  I hope so!   PiperLime has a similar one.  It even has gold buttons (my favorite thing about the trench!).

I have never gotten more compliments from strangers on an article of clothing – I think it is something about wearing such a bright color on gloomy, rainy days which is, of course, exactly why I bought it!

so bright and fun!

What do you wear to brighten up a yucky day?

Forgive the quality of the photo.  My fiance is the only person I know who is completely incapable of taking a decent photo.  He looks great in them, he just can’t shoot one!  So I just had him snap a quick one with my iPhone.  His lack of photographic skill is the main reason I almost never do “what I’m wearing” posts.  Maybe I should invest in a tripod!

Quick side note: I am standing in front of our Hale Navy accent wall!  I wrote about it before we started painting and I have to tell you, it was the best decision ever!  If you are considering a dark accent but are over red or gray or brown – consider navy!  It looks so crisp with our light gray walls and white curtains!

(Someday I will get it together enough to share some before/after photos of our condo… someday)
