Jewel Tones On A Rainy Day

(Jeans – Exact, Jacket – Exact, T-Shirt – Exact, Bag – Similar, Wellies – Exact & Exact)

Rain, rain and more rain, is all it still keeps doing! I think this has been one of the craziest winters that I have ever experienced in my 25 years actually. It’s not really all that cold, which is very unusual for England too! Anyway, in my attempt to brighten up a rainy day, I went for a jewel tone colour scheme!

I wore my James Jeans Couture Skinny Jeans which I tucked into my Hunter Dark Ruby Gloss Short Wellies. I find these shorter wellies are more practical for wearing around town as they aren’t so big, plus I do adore the colour. I matched them with my H&M t-shirt which is a similar shade and then wore my French Connection Athena Faux Leather Biker Jacket in Black over the top. Just to add some more colour to the mix, I then wore my Mulberry Mini Taylor in Sycamore as I think yellow really livens the combination of burgundy and black up. I usually like to have a bright and colourful umbrella too, like the one in my banner, but I decided on a clear one for this outfit as the other colours wouldn’t really match too well!

On a different note, I have something very exciting to share with you next week that I can’t wait to say! I know you will love it too! If you follow me on Instagram though (@LornaRaindrops) then you might already have had a clue as to what it might be! Any guesses? What do you think of the outfit though, do you like it? How are you all managing to stay dry in the constant rain? Comment and let me know!

    Love this outfit, very simple 2 color pallet but it hits a home run. I like the way maroon looks on you, it really makes your blonde hair pop! And what can i say about your wellies i havent said already? You look great in them Lorna, excited to see your black pair when you get them

    I love your Hunters, are those the shorter versions? I’ve always been iffy about those but they look great on you! 🙂 The mustard bag is the perfect complement to that color too 🙂

      Thanks! Yeah they are the short version. I was iffy too about them at first, but I really like them now as they look more young and sweet.

    Love those Hunters! I’ve got the same color in the taller boot but now I wish I had the short ones – they look so cute on you!

    Those Hunters are so adorable!! I feel your pain when it comes to this winter. Here in Portugal the weather has been crazy too. Rain every single day and a very annoying wind. Aaaaaah, hate it!!

      Oh really in Portugal too? Isn’t it usually warm and sunny there?

      • January 29, 2014 / 12:33 am

        It usually is. Last year we only had rain for like….15 days, the whole year.
        But now it’s raining nonstop since the beginning of 2014. I guess I’ll have to get my own wellies. Hope I’ll find something similar to those you were using in these pictures.

    The sport or the shirt?

  15. Eric R
    January 31, 2014 / 7:47 am

    Lol yes the shirt is a little bit like what polo players wear, however my experience with it we wore just regular polo shirts with numbers, would be really cute if i could wear a rugby during play! Those boots are super cute!! Sadly not in my size 🙁 was gonna make me another purchase. Oh well. Ill stick to my collection of 5 i guess ;D
