I got this MICHAEL by Michael Kors raincoat several years ago at Costco of all places. I was immediately drawn to the bright red color, and I liked the fit. The only problem is that the belt doesn’t stay put when it’s looped through the belt buckle, but I’ve solved that problem by tying it. Recently, I like adding an extra pop of color to the raincoat with my cobalt blue scarf. This MICHAEL raincoat seems to be very similar to mine and comes in several colors.
I think owning a bright raincoat is a must as it can truly brighten up a dark, rainy day, of which I hope we’ll have many more here in California… I also used to own a bright, cheery umbrella, but sadly it broke. So I’ve been on the lookout for a bright umbrella (especially for the days when I don’t wear the red coat, but one of my more muted coats). It’s somewhat surprising to me how many dark umbrellas are out there and how hard it is to find a fun, yet still "age-appropriate" one! Maybe I should go into the umbrella business...
Here are some bright raincoats that I think would brighten up any day (click on the photos for more info):
Questions: Do you own a bright raincoat? How about a bright, fun umbrella? How do you bring color and cheer into a rainy day?
Be Well,
Andrea

Thanks, Patti!
DeleteLiving in rainy wet Oregon I am always on the hunt for a raincoat. I have several, but not a bright red one with a beautiful blue scarf. Your look is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marea!
DeleteWhat a great rain coat, I have a purple columbia ( or deep blue maybe more accurate). I have funky fun rain boots though.
ReplyDeleteI have a Thursday Link up ( still live) and would love to have you pop over for a visit.http://www.alabouroflife.com/2016/01/a-plethora-of-plaids-when-you-fashion.html
Thanks
Thanks, Linda! And, yes, fun rain boots are great, too! I don't own any rain boots, but getting some is one the list! And when I do, they will for sure be fun! I think I added last week's post to your Thursday linkup. :-)
DeleteI love this coat--and I love that it comes in so many awesome colours!

Thanks, Alecz!
DeleteI love this bright raincoat!
ReplyDeleteI must admit although I'm very attracted to them I've never found one that was right for me.
I have a great classy plaid umbrella given to me as a gift from another blogger which I love.

Your umbrella sounds great!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous raincoat!! So vibrant and looks so good on you!! Yes I would do a rain dance just so I could wear it, lol!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea! :-)
DeleteYour beautiful raincoat can really bright up a day! It's a pity that you can't wear it often!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, in the transition seasons I wear mine as a light weight coat also when it isn't raining ...
I have a neutral tone raincoat which I bought in London many years ago but I would like a new yellow one...
You are right, I could wear the coat also when it doesn't rain, and I sometimes do, but not often.
DeleteHope you find the coat you are looking for!
I love this coat on you! Such a cheery color. I also tie the belt on my trench coat as it does not seem to want to buckle like a proper belt. I don't own a bright coat myself but now you have me thinking about it. I do own a fun red umbrella with a white circle pattern. I hope you find an umbrella.
ReplyDeleteYour umbrella sounds great!
DeleteThe bright red is such a cheerful colour! it looks great on you, especially paired with the blue :) I only have one bright coat but I really enjoy wearing it, it makes me smile and it's a great way to brighten up a dull day! :)

We are very close; I just sent you an email! :-) And, yes, thankfully we've had a rainy winter; hoping for more!
DeleteNice ! I like the red raincoat, as I am certainly one that needs some brightness or cheer on those rainy days, they can be a bummer. I love the vibrant blue sccarf on you too with it.

Thanks, Jess! Color really can make a difference on grey days!
DeleteI have a raincoat that I bought years ago from Costco that I still wear. Of course, it's been sitting in the closet for the past several years and I am still waiting for El Nino to arrive. There really hasn't been that much rain for us in SoCal yet.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright color of your rain jacket.
Thank you for being a part of TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you soon!
