The Rain Hat

I added a faux fur rain hat to my collection this month. My hair in humidity isn't pretty, so there are several hats in my closet. I think this one will be a favorite this winter.



Some of my jackets and coats are now too large for me, but I will get this one tailored. I love the teal blue color. It's a Geiger boiled wool jacket that works great over pants. The scarf is a large square silk(like) material in teal with a bit of animal print from Ross. The bag is a winter favorite from 2011.



The pants were a straight leg style from Stein Mart last year. 


The booties are by Nine West.


The very warm and comfy faux fur hat is from Coldwater Creek. The grey long-sleeved tee is by Vera Wang from Kohl's.



Being silly in the rain brings back sweet memories of my childhood on a farm in North Carolina. The now rare (for me) sound of rain on a tin roof always transports me to that far away simple time. I loved to curl up wrapped in one of my grandmother's hand made quilts on the front porch swing of our old farmhouse and watch the rainfall. When the storm passed, I would go looking for frogs and red salamanders.  Being an only child at that time and living on a secluded farm meant finding playmates in nature.

Thank you for reading my blog and visiting with me on Facebook this past year.
