We are having something just short of tropical storms today. Really high winds, driving rain, and cats-under-the-bed. But it doesn't stop Visible Monday! Seriously, every time I wear these loud rubber boots, I get multiple compliments. They are at least 8 years old, faux-Wellies that I got from Lands' End for less than $30 (similar pair still available at only $50 on sale). They are so much fun to wear in the rain; they give me an "I don't care if it pours" feeling.
The floral blouse is a thrift store find. It has no maker's name, but a tag says "100% silk." I love the print, and it's just the right amount of sheer for me. The denim skirt is also thrifted. It's by GAP but I think the flower applique was sewn on by a previous owner. I like it and wear it a lot. It is super-casual with a button-down shirt and more special with this floral blouse.
Please add your pictures below and share your visibility!

ReplyDeleteLove those bright wellies! I love the printed ones they have out also--but I never have the guts--can you believe it/
ReplyDeleteAgree with you on the denim skirt thing--it is a VITAL part of my wardrobe and I am presently looking for a replacement and cant find one that I like!
One of my favortie plants--the bird of paradise. Needless to say, we dont have them here...you must be excited after waiting so long for it to bloom!
We had some rain here too in Northern CA but your storm sounds like way more fun :). The green boots are adorable. I would wear boots like that.
ReplyDeletePatti, hi I just love your whole outfit. The boots are a great color and your flower blouse is beautiful. Great look on you. I would love to link up...do my best to get in on the fun. Have a great blogging week. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your supportive comment!
ReplyDeleteThis floral blouse is amazing!
I think you are one of those women who could wear anything and it would be gorgeous!

Lovely blouse, and how gorgeous is that flower. Inspiration comes from all places, huh?
ReplyDeleteI love silk...the blouse is beautiful. I found two silk pieces at Goodwill over the summer that I cannot wait to wear! I hope to break out my rain boots soon...things are looking more promising!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful ensemble! The boots and blouse really set each other off nicely.
ReplyDeleteLove your inspiration! We have a big bird of paradise plant in our garden which blooms more and more each year, and always makes me smile. Love your blouse!
ReplyDeleteThat flower is so beautiful -- as is the blouse! How cheery and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI finally gave in and picked up some rain boots, too (Target). They are such a joy to wear! How did we live without them?
Thank you V!
ReplyDeleteHi Paula - love your rainy day look. The bird of paradise is *so* pretty -- almost looks like a creature that will fly away!
ReplyDeleteHello Susan! It was a wild and wooly storm -- reports of wind gusts up to 80mph!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by, and yes, please do add your pictures! I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Reva. Your photography is out-of-this-world beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Megan Mae!
ReplyDeleteLet's hear it for some Texas rain, Pam! I want to see your rain boots. Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Une Femme, always great to have you stop by!
ReplyDeleteSo my plant may start to flower more?? That would be fabulous. Thanks for stopping by, Erica.
ReplyDeleteI know, rain boots are the best! You can hose them off at the end of the day -- how many clothing items can you say that about??
ReplyDeleteYou look great for a rainy day! LOVE your blouse and wellies :)
ReplyDeleteGlad we could convince you to look for a red skirt to pair with your leopard :)
the wellies are so cute! It goes well with your colorful floral top. I like that floral design at the corner of your skirt.

I'm hoping to get up a post later today and join in the fun, but for now I want to say what fun your outfit is -- those cheery boots would make it much easier to get out in the weather! It's currently pelting down on the skylight in my office, and some bright yellow cheer would be very welcome.
ReplyDeleteThank you - and yes, you inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mongs - I wish I were creative enough to have sewn it on myself -- I *know* you could do it!
ReplyDeleteYes, please do join in! The "window" is open through Weds early AM, so no rush : > These boots are great fun in a storm.
