On Not Getting Drenched

The coat might not be practical for rain, but it's fun!

Two years with very little rain has been terrible for California's water supply. But it has rained almost every day since Thanksgiving and adjusting to this much wet weather is wearing on me. 

Bright colors help get through dark days.

My outerwear has helped me at least feel prepared, warm and somewhat stylish. It's also all old - since I bought most of it when rain was more common! 

My uniform for the past few weeks has been an L. Spiewak & Sons lightweight bright orange down jacket with an adjustable hood. For shoes, either beat-up biker boots or lightweight Da Ichi Japanese fisherman rain boots - an amazing purchase several years ago from the fun New York store Loopy Mango.

Searching on Pinterest led me to San Francisco painter Hsin-Yao Tseng, who depicts rainy days in the city beautifully. Maybe a new perspective on the beauty of a rainy day will help me through this week's wet forecast.
