Lately. this weather has not lived up to all of our expectations. It is May and it feels like we're in November. Most people say April showers bring May flowers, but we have been having just too many May showers, and less flowers.

1. An updo.

I am sure we have all made the mistake of straightening our hair, or putting so much effort just for it to frizz up the moment we step outside . On rainy days it is best to have your hair up because, typically, with the rain comes humidity or strong winds. The hairstyles I would normally lean towards is either a braid or a half up/half down hair style.

2. Statement rain coat.

Once you get a raincoat you will be so glad you did. Going out in a regular hooded coat does not do you justice, it will leave you drenched. My personal favorite are unique patterned rain coats, you can find many of these on Top Shop. When wearing these it may be best to layer up since rain coats tend to be very thin.

3. Boots.

I never realized how important rain boots were until just recently. I have ruined so many sneakers and shoes in the process. You can find cheap pairs at target, but if you want something that will last long Hunter is a great choice.

4. Hats.

You can stick with a regular baseball cap, or spice up your outfit with a floppy hat. They will keep you warm, while looking chic at the same time. I do not know about you but my jacket's hood always tends to fall when the slightest wind gust, having a hat gives you an added layer of protection.

5. Multiple layers.

Sometimes, when it rains it can be cold one moment, and warm the next. It is key to wear several layers, this way you are not stuck sweating or shivering. So layer up with a tee, cardigan, and jacket; the more the better!

6. A movie.

The rain sometimes makes us want to ignore all responsibilities, and just take a nap or watch a movie. Take the time to relax and unwind with your favorite genre of movie and a fuzzy blanket.

Here's to hoping that the weather starts to feel warm and more like spring!
