I’ve been enjoying the glorious spring sunshine this last week or so, but it’s not going to last. I went shopping this afternoon and in the space of about an hour the blue sky had been replaced by clouds and rain. Just as well then that I’ve got a fabulous new waterproof jacket! The bright magenta is the perfect antidote to grey days, especially paired with the orange trousers. Only colourful rainy day attire for me – no black or grey!
As luck would have it, I have this jumper in exactly the same shade as the jacket. The corgi motif is a charming and quirky touch. I have another Joules jumper with a fox on – both bought on eBay. I kept my outfit to two colours: magenta and orange. For a more understated look, the jacket would look great with jeans. In fact, it would go with almost anything. Often, I find waterproof coats rather dreary and drab, but Cotton Traders have them in an array of colours and patterns. (I featured this jacket in my Mother’s Day Gift Guide.) Functional does not have to mean dull! The umbrella lining is a lovely detail too. I’m almost looking forward to having to go out in the rain!

Smart choice to go with bright colors when Spring weather turns a bit dreary. Orange and magenta makes for a fabulous combination and your corgi sweater adds an unexpected fun detail.

I think wearing bright colours on a rainy day is the perfect antidote to the dreariness! And you’ve certainly done that, Emma. The weather here is pretty awful at the moment but I’m hoping the spring / summer will start in earnest soon.

Perfect Spring jacket! I love the colors here too- and of course the cute corgi! If only I could find things with shih tzus on it! 🙂 Love the split hem on the trousers too.I think you have inspired me to buy some trousers and got 3 pairs recently via secondhand. Our weather has been cold and windy lately- ready for some warmer temps!
