Save It For A Rainy Day
As the skies turn grey and the rain begins to fall more and more frequently, no one wants to arrive to class completely soaking wet. Although "The Notebook" makes it look romantic, getting caught unprepared in the rain is usually a drag. To stop yourself from walking into class dripping water onto the floor, I’ve compiled a list of the best (and of course most fashionable) rainy day accessories.
Although it may seem a little big, the Totes Bubble Umbrella (https://www.amazon.com/totes-Totes-Clear-Bubble-Umbrella/dp/B073WHT1NB) is your best bet for a windy, rainy day in Evanston. It’s clear, so you won’t fall on your face walking down Sheridan, and its dome shape means it won’t ever be flipped inside out by a heavy gust of wind.
This simple backpack from 8848 (https://www.amazon.com/8848-Unisexs-Backpack-Waterproof-Material/dp/B00W992AYE/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1457907517&sr=8-10&keywords=waterproof+backpack) may look like a classic Herschel, but in fact it’s made from a waterproof material. This means that after a long walk in the rain your essays won’t turn to pulp and you won’t have to worry about water damage to your laptop. They also come in a plethora of styles and colors.
Stick this Uniqlo pocketable parka (https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/women-pocketable-parka-190719.html?dwvar_190719_color=COL69&cgid=) in your backpack and you’ll never be caught unprepared in a surprise rainstorm.
These J. Crew rain boots (https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens_category/shoes/boots/matte-chelsea-rain-boots/H0421?color_name=dark-burgundy) are sleek, matte, and perfect for a walk in the rain. For how nice they look, they have a reasonable price tag, and they’re the perfect finish to an outfit on a rainy day.
Finally, for a fun piece to brighten up any gloomy day, try this pink transparent raincoat from New Look (http://www.newlook.com/row/womens/clothing/jackets-coats/pink-glitter-anorak/p/519236276?language=en) . You’ll bring a pop of color into everyone’s day, and look cute doing it!
With these items in your closet, there’s no reason to let a rainy day stop you from being comfortable and stylish, which is good, because winter (and rain) is here.
