Rain, rain go away

Rain Rain Go Away

It is still pouring rain in Dallas! Thankfully the weather 'brightened' up for just a bit on Saturday evening so I was able to attend the Brad Paisley concert so I mustn't complain (the concert was amazing and super patriotic...just up my alley!). Today, in honor of the cloudy skies, I sported a very pink and green outfit to brighten up a dreary Monday. I wore my Lilly Pulitzer Sabine dress, pink Hunters, carried my pink patent Mar-a-Lago Lilly bag, had my pink Blackberry in hand along with my Lilly Pulitzer tumbler in Trouble Hibiscus. I also could not leave home without my green North Face Venture jacket and my Lilly umbrella (mine is a slightly different pattern, hot pink with monkeys, circa 2006) and of course my pearls! I think I most certainly embraced the wet weather in true preppy!

Great way to face the rain. Now all you need is pink and green puddles. Hey! What an idea!

It POURED all weekend in New Orleans. I hope the fact that it's still raining there doesn't mean that we have more on the way :(

That's a cute outfit, though, if you have to deal with rain!

We're getting your rain in Atlanta this week... not looking forward to it - but I think I might be more into it if I had your gear! Very cute!

MBM said...

Who is cuter than you??? I'm more of a NY version prep--Burberry umbrella, beige trench or Black North Face rain jacket like yours/black Hunter boots/sparkle Starbucks travel cup...I really need a Lilly tumbler! A pop of pink & green is a MUST!!! Love your outfit & I hope you had fun at the concert! I love how patriotic Brad Paisley is! I think he's on the cover of this week's People?

I love the colors but I especially love the dress as it reminds me of a RL one that I wore in junior high to a dance back in the 80's!! Love to see how things always come back.
