RAINY DAY BRIGHTS
These days be rainy days on the west coast. The ideal weather for red rain boots and a colourful brolly. And also the perfect weather for whiling away a few hours at the movies…We saw The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug this afternoon. It was entertaining, a little gory, and a lot unrealistic {Hey, it is a fantasy after all}. We, the mister and I, enjoyed ourselves.
My outfit is all about colour, and pattern, and fun. Red rain boots to keep my feet dry. A colourful umbrella to keep my curls protected. And lots of colour to brighten up a bleak January day. I’ve done a little pattern mixing…stripes over gingham with a paisley scarf at my neck. My nail polish, Zoya Louise in chocolately brown, and my dark wash skinnies provide just the right amount of grounding.

You're THE “fun thing”, Sue! 🙂 I love this place you've created. Always so happy, bright, and cheerful….no matter what the weather.
Love, love this!! Carry on 🙂

Fabulous colors!
You've got the right attitude to accompany our weather….love the brolly Sue.
I see purple and yellow too. You are all that and a bag of skittles!!
This outfit makes me think that spring is just around the corner! Your smile and bright colors banish the clouds. Of course, with cool red rubber boots you probably want it to keep raining.
Lookin' good, Sue!
Seeing your lovely, happy face this morning has really made me smile. The best thing for a dreary day is to definitely brighten it up with some colour and you have certainly done that. You look great! I want your brolly!! 🙂
As always, Sue, you have a way of brightening up even the most dreary days! I can't believe how much it's been raining, but I've been inspired by your colourful outlook 🙂
We enjoyed the latest installment of the Hobbit, although I thought some added story lines left a bit to be desired. In the end, and extremely enjoyable film, though 🙂
Keep dry & warm, my friend!

You are a vision. There is so much grey these days, weather-wise and style-wise, that people must gravitate to you naturally when you go out in public. You look like springtime. Absolutely gorgeous.
Wonderful colour combination, my dear Sue. Fun and style, yeahhhhhhhhhhh
Love and sunshine always.
Thank you sooooooooo much to join Share-in-Style.

Great pictures Sue! Love the colors and general feeling happiness for the upcoming spring. Nice to look a rainy day as a reason to get out some color and wear it.

You bring joy to my day, dear Sue. Love all that color scheme for a rainy day, like a delicious rainbow … so sweet!
I love all these colours. You cannot have too much colour. You look so happy. And with your appearance you will make everybody happy. Great outfit. It would make you long for a rainy day.

Fabulous colour to brighten up a rainy day, Sue! I adore that umbrella, the pattern mixing, and the bracelets. Your photos and outfits are always a joy! xxx
You always make me feel joy with your posts, Sue! Love these colors, the mixing and the awesome boots. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday!
How fun and I love wearing brights like this to counter Mother Nature and keep that skip in my step!
What a great idea…to fight the rainy weather by wearing a fun and colorful outfit. You nailed it Sue! Often times, for rainy cloudy days, I have the tendency to wear dark colors. I like your style better 🙂
Have a wonderful week!

Wonderful your outfit Sue! You have the talent to put colors together and to create a special athosphere. A funny one today, I can see from you pics that you enjoy it!
Sue! Wonderful colour combination 🙂 You look fantastic:) love it:)))))
Have a lovely week. Kisses Beata
There's nothing dull & grey about your rainy days!
Could anyone ever see you and not smile?? You are the happiest person I ever did virtually meet!!! Love the colors and wish I could wear them all! You'd make grey skies seem far, far away 🙂

I am going to echo everything Kim just said, because seriously, you are the happiest person in this blogging community. You have a way of brightening our day and has more to do than just your amazingly cute and colorful outfits. That Sue smile which you so genuinely share week in and week out is priceless. Thank you!
Sue, this look is so exciting and certainly makes a rainy day much better, this is what I try and do when it rains. I am always on the lookout for a decorative umbrella and yours fits the description perfectly. I love your green coat (I’ve been looking for a green coat too). The detailing such as the bracelet and the belt are lovely little finishes.
Wanted to reply to your comment Dear Sue!
I can assure you there are no swings at bus stops!
There was a swing installation near Place des Spectacles this summer – Place des Spectacles is where the Jazz Festival is –
And little advice, when you see something that you are unsure in thrift shops, it means, well in my book that you should grab it and make your up mind while you have in your hand or have a stroll in the shop with the item in hand while you make up your mind- this is what i do , cause great pieces like that will be snap in a minute!

Outrageously joyful! You really know how to brighten a rainy day and my morning just became more colorful! The umbrella is the perfect companion to your red boots!
Wow! This is just what I needed to brighten my day : ) and wake me up from my medicated coma. You look like a kid playing out in the rain.

Yes she did! See what you did here? I swear, the weather got better here because you cheered the weather up where you are. Science and magic all in one pretty, adorable Sue package. That's what happened, I just know it. And you make most of it yourself! Wow. As always.
A very colorful outfit, and very nice on you! I totally agree, there are days in which the bad weather must be brightened up !! The combination of colours make me think that spring is on its way!! Your green raincoat is lovable!
Is there anything better that a good movie to enjoy a rainy day at home?
You look so colorful, it is wonderful. I live on the east coast and we have been having a lot of rain and crazy weather.
So bright and colorful, puts me in the mood and mindset for spring! Stopping by from #thriftersanonymous – Happy Hump Day!
My dear Sue you are a color master! This just bellows happy and fun! Here in Southern California, we have had no rain all season … and I miss it terribly!
I want you to know how much I appreciate your kind and thoughtful comments on my blog!

Your outfits ALWAYS make me smile! You have such a beautiful spirit that shines through in your photos. Cute umbrella and awesome colors. Those boots are adorable! Thanks for linking up.
CUTE pop of color with the belt and I HEART your umbrella!
What a great look for waking up a West Coast day! And there is so much to enjoy about the way you put your post together, the lettering on and between the photographs — so cheery! Thanks!
Thanks for your sweetie comments re bling – I ADORE bling – I think it's like the frosting of an outfit!!
This is how I like to dress when it is gloomy outside too! You look fantastic and so perfectly bright and cheerful! I adore that jacket! I liked the Hobbit too, but it was very long! I was getting a little restless! LOL!
