Functional Style

How do you maintain a style your own AND still stay warm in days when the clouds look like they are about to burst, the ground feels like there is a constant water leak and there is a constant mist in the air. If there is ever one song I can relate to it would be "I Cant Stand The Rain." Besides the fact that it makes the task of going to work a bit more painful, rainy days make dressing up seem like such a drag!

On days such as this you see all styles and designs of the "Wellies" with the bright pink, yellow, flourescent green and whatever other bright colors the makers of the wellies dream to create all meshed together in spirally squiggly lines, makes me feel like I am on the set of "The Spy Who Shagged Me". I am not a fan of the Wellington Boots (Suprise!!) because unless I am wearing a bright yellow raincoat with the matching hat standing on the edge of a boat about to toss out a fishing net OR I am holding my mothers hand and a lunch box in the other on my way to kindergerten there is JUST no excuse for trodding along in those things with a laptop case in one hand and a Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts cup in the other...a contradiction if you ask me!

Sooo.....what then must one wear on rainy days such as this when it seems like the sun is taking a personal day? yet still be able to maintain a certain level of style?? How does one achieve a functional style??

This would be the thesis of this blog...my research question if you must.....and in order to arrive at a valid conclusion, we would take each day at a time and learn from each other. Feel free to input....and i would obviously do the same...as it is MY blog

A bientot!
