Rainy Days And Mondays
[All clothes above from Bank AW12]
While we are having spectacular autumnal displays of leaves from bright reds and copper to tangerine and mustard, as sure as night follows day, the rain is just a day away, for most of the British winter. But while it may make us feel cold and grey on the inside , there is no reason to dress that way.
The rainy weather is the prefect excuse to put your best wellie forward, grab a mac and put up the funnest umbrella you can find – after all you can either stomp around and be miserable or jump in puddles and sing in the rain, and we not what we’d rather do!
