Why aren't you wearing this? Rain Parade Mini Umbrellas

In some parts of the country (like here, in Florida), this is the time of year when you can pretty much count on a rainstorm between two and four in the afternoon. We're not talking a light sprinkle -- the sky opens up and dumps bucketloads of wet down upon us, and our hair is ruined and our clothes are soaked. Unless, that is, we happen to actually bring our umbrella with us.

Why aren't you wearing this? Week of August 3

  • BR Wool Cloche Hat
  • Betsey Johnson Leopard Print Ring, $65
  • Franco Sarto Ability, $89
  • Urban Outfitters Folio Briefcase Bag, $58
  • Fred Flare Rain Parade Mini Umbrellas
If we had the Rain Parade Mini Umbrella, we're pretty sure we'd always have one on us. They're available at Fred Flare for $30 in a wide variety of colors. Come on, are these fun, or what? Not only can you choose from a rainbow of colors, but each color has its own little person -- there's a navy sailor, an orange buddha (wearing gold rain boots, naturally), and more.

Sure, we could go with a mature, big, black umbrella, but where's the fun in that? We can't splash through the puddles in our designer shoes, so we should at least get to smile about something when there are gray skies!
