how to dress up rain boots

I don’t know about anyone else, but when it’s raining and storming outside, all I want to do is stay in bed with a cup of coffee. However, unless it’s a free weekend, this just isn’t really an option! Gotta get out and brave the weather. (Especially since Mother Nature is taking this April Showers thing very literally this year!) That doesn’t mean you can’t look cute while doing it though. Dressing up a pair of rain boots in simple and easy to do, turning a drab pair of boots into a perfect spring outfit staple.

A spring dress immediately dresses up a pair of rain boots, and adds some brightness to the day! Pair it with a trench coat for colder temperatures and to keep your dress dry!

Pair an oxford or button-up of choice with a pair of cutoffs for a simple and chic look. Add a bow or fun rainboots for a bright pop of color.

top: Ralph Lauren // shorts: delia's (love these) // bow: Always Anchors c/o // boots: Hunter (similar)

And when in doubt, use a bright color and a floral print! It’ll stand out among the greyness of the day.

How would you dress up a pair of rainboots?

brighten the blues

Thank goodness this week is over. I had three midterms this week and then got a nasty cold on top of that. So ready for the weekend! My outfit planning didn't have much success this week, since I basically wanted to live in my sweatshirt and leggings, but I made myself put on a cute outfit yesterday. It didn't really make me feel better, but I loved looking more put together and not like I just fell out of bed!
