Can't outrun the rain

The arrival of spring always means one thing - lots of rain. Typically when it rains, it's an all day affair, though nothing stops those storm clouds from moving in on a whim either, and quickly transforming what was a bright, sunny day into a dark, damp one.

I thought I could squeeze in some outfit photos after work before the rain clouds rolled in, but as luck would have it, the moment I got out of my car the rain drops started, so I fired off as many shots as I could before the storm worsened.

  1. At least you made a valiant attempt to get ahead of the weather - totally worth it to showcase this outfit, in my opinion!

  4. As a blogger - and worse still, a blogger in the Pacific Northwest - rain has been the bane of my existence for the past four and a half years. When it rains here, it tends to rain on and off all day, so just when you think you're safe to go out to snap photos, you wind up getting caught in it again. Not to mention that the extreme humidity alone is enough to ruin any hairstyle, regardless of whether it's actually raining. I digress. You look lovely and so very spring-like in these photos, despite the few rain drops of your handbag. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your spring outfits now that the snow is finally gone!

  8. I adore this outfit so much! I hope to mix some prints soon. They mesh so well together. The rain drops make a neat pattern on the concrete that compliments your pattern mixing though. It's pouring here today. You know it's spring when...

  23. Oh gosh, rain is my worst fashion blogging enemy here in Seattle heheh. Sometimes the weather forecast says it will be sunny but then it ends up raining and totally screws up my schedule. It doesn't look like it rained in your photos though and you look great!
