What's in MY Shopping Bag?: Rain, Rain Go Away

I don't know about you and your geography, but here in California it has been quite gloomy andvery wet lately. So what better item to shop for than a new raincoat
Your first option is the must-have Trench Coat from Gap. If you do not already own a trench, you are missing out. This coat may be a little high in price at $88.00, but this is an investment item. You purchase this trench now and you will have it forever - or until you wear it out, whichever comes first!



Your second option is this "Unisex Nylon Taffeta Rain Parka" from American Apparel. With four stormy-weather inspired colors to choose from, there is no doubt that you will be working it in the rain while everyone else simply looks a hot mess. Once again, this jacket is a little pricey at $85.00, but you definitely be wearing this for years to come.

Your third option is this absolutely, fantastically simple "rain jacket in a packet" from Old Navy. Not only does it come in seven different colors, but it is only $19.50! There is no way you can't afford this fabulous find. Layer it on top of a sweater, sweatshirt, or even another jacket and start watching the rain drops just roll off your shoulders!
So this rainy season, no matter where you are, invest in a raincoat and for Pete's sake, stay dry! Just because you are protecting yourself from the elements does not mean you have to sacrifice your style. Rain gear will not be around much longer (this season), so if you find something you like that is priced right, purchase it and do not look back. Besides, the more you save on a raincoat, the more you can spend on funky umbrellas and quirky rain boots - try Walmart and Target! So this rainy season, stay dry and as always, keep it Fashion, Friendly & Frugal.
