We Can Work It Out

March 31st, 2010

About a month ago, my boyfriend surprised me with tickets for tonight’s show to see Paul McCartney at the Hollywood Bowl.  I was giddy with excitement and immediately started to imagine my perfect outfit; which included a flowy white dress, flat sandals and armfuls of wooden bracelets.  Turns out, my breezy little number would be quite inappropriate seeing as how it’s supposed to rain throughout the entire evening.  Instead of opting for my boyfriend’s poncho and a baseball cap, I’ve decided to make the most of the situation and put together a few of my rainy day favorites.

Dotty Pac-A-Parka, Topshop: $55
Vintage Flower Necklace, Forever 21: $6.80
Patent Leatherette Canvas Tote, Forever 21: $24.80
Arty Cornaline Ring, Yves Saint Laurent: $395
Harrington Alligator-Effect Leather Belt, Michael Kors: $325
Roxanne Skinny Jeans, 7 For All Mankind: $155
Original Wellingtons, Hunter Boots: $115
Lace Tie Waist Top, Topshop: $65
Heart Print Umbrella, Burberry: $250
Retrosun, Vintage Christian Dior Sunglasses: $275
Wire Bow Headband, Forever 21: $4.80
Nika Woven Cotton-Blend Wrap, LemLem: $65

    That’s a great rain ensemble for sure :) I will have to check out the Hunter boots contest because I’m in desperate need of some new rain boots! In a color that will match with my coral raincoat of course :)

    Hi Emily, just wanted to let you know I left you something on my blog. I hope you have a great time tonight and I adore the polka-dotted parka…everything here just goes together so well. You’ve got an impeccable eye. : )

    Wow what perfect choices for the occasion! It’s so cute! However I would add more warm layers because it’s freezing at the Hollywood Bowl at night, no matter what month.

    I’ve been following your blog for a while and its awesome to see your styling for LA weather and events. It’s an inspiration for me.
    Hope you can check out my blog-
