FROM THE ARCHIVES: Fabulous Fashion Friday, May 14th: Beat the Spring Rain Blues

Spring is always a glorious mix of rain and shine, especially in Seattle. We all know how to dress for the sun, but how are we supposed to sport these cute springtime styles in the pouring rain? Here's a super cute dotted top in two colors that looks magnificent, even in a downpour. 

#1- Rainy Day Blues-
The first look I'll show you is this adorable top in navy blue. Wear it with a pair of bootcut jeans and heels,  get out your umbrella, and you'll be ready for the rainy city, baby!
Our model is wearing Vigoss dark wash Bootcut  ($58) and Kenneth Cole MaryJanes ($82).
This bubbly blouse features polka dots in white, blue and pink that remind me of rain falling in sunshine (which happens all the time in Seattle). It has a wide flouncy collar, and a big, but subtle ruffle that cascades down toward the stretchy shirring waistband (super comfy). It's 100% lightweight rayon ($38).
Add a little flair to your style with a flaired (boot cut) jeans.
From the back, you can see the top is a racer-back style, which works well with cute brightly colored bra straps showing!
I love the secret "V's" that Vigoss puts in every pair of jeans.  Do you see any here??
Pop open that umbrella, and walk on down the street with style!

#2- Sunshiney Spring Rain-- 
Now if the rain is still coming down toward Summer, but the temperature is staying warm, brighten yourself up with this same top in orange! I added a pair of Vigoss crops with the same heels, creating the perfect spring outfit. 
Orange has been such a popular color this year, and I'm loving every second of it! 
Go ahead, rain on my parade, I'm ready!
Cute orange cammie straps are just fine if they show!

And, did you catch those gorgeous, amazing earrings our model is sporting? Here's a close-up of those Raindrop shaped earrings by LM-Inspired. They pack a beautiful punch, but are light as a feather!
