Singin' In The Rain & My OOTD

So in view of all this rain we've been having I have a plan!!!  I think it's safe to say that my plan for the snow worked pretty well *touches wood that we don't suddenly get a snow fall* & that by having ensured I had my snow look well & truly sorted this winter just gone has meant that we haven't seen more than a small flurry of the white stuff...which of course has it's plus points as well as it's downside (I LOVE days when we're all snowed in not to mention sledging & snowball fights).....oh well there's always next winter but we won't think about that just now!!!!

Instead I'm going to see if I can do the same for these recent downpours & see if by getting my 'it's tipping it down out there' outfit sorted we can happily skip through this phase & stick with the blue skies & move straight on to summer (well it's worth a shot no?!!!) & surely after all the rain we've already had at the beginning of this year there can't be any more left??!!!!!!  In fact I've just heard the weather forecast for the next few days & my plan might already be working!!!!

Now I already own a mac/trench coat, which I must have had for 10+ years, but luckily for our bank balance & a mightily relieved hubby I still absolutely love it!  I personally don't think you can go wrong in investing in a mac that is classic in design as you know it's something that's never going to date or go out of fashion & let's face it, living in the UK it's always going to get it's fair share of use!  Of course that doesn't mean that you can't have a selection of styles & colours....but I won't share that nugget with hubby just yet ;-)

So moving swiftly on let's get on with the selection that have caught my eye.  Starting with this double breasted short mac by Vero Moda.  A really classic design that's also a great length for those of us that are in & out of a car all day as you haven't got to worry about straightening it when sitting down or even getting trapped in the car door......how many of us have done that on many an occasion?!!!

Vero Moda Double Breasted Mac £35

Sticking with the shorter length mac but moving onto a skater style.  I really love this navy one from ASOS.  In fact I used to have a mac just like this for work many years ago & I absolutely loved it.  It was a great style for teaming with a suit/pencil skirt & I loved the fuller skirt style, which just felt that bit more feminine.

ASOS Skater Mac £60

Next up is this mac from ASOS, which is what I would call your traditional style & I think it looks absolutely stunning in the navy, not to mention the stone & black!!!

ASOS Classic Mac £60

Also In Stone

Also Black

If you want something a little less traditional then you should love this next trench from Mint Velvet, which whilst still retaining the classic elements of a traditional mac has a slight twist with the added zip detailing.

Mint Velvet Stone Trench £159

And Navy

If however, you want something a little bit different but still classic then how about this navy & white striped trench.  A great classic design but something a little bit different being striped & would very elegant & stylish teamed with some boyfriends, ballet flats & a simple sweatshirt.

Boden Spring Trench Currently £90.30

Or how about this short mac from Gap?  Again perfect for simply throwing on, on more casual days & would look pretty fab teamed with a splash of colour with a great scarf & some trainers.  Not to mention perfect for slipping on of a morning while waiting for the day to heat up.

Gap Short Trench £49.95

Also Available In Navy

Finally what about this piped mac from Tesco, a great classic with a little bit of extra detailing.

Tesco Piped Mac £40

See you in the morning & fingers crossed here's to the sunshine!!!
