Raaaaaaiiin. There's a lot of it all over the city. The last 3 days have been a wet mess.

It's also tricky getting dressed when it's all mucky outside. Since a large part of my commute is outside, certain shoes and pieces of clothing are straight out. As such, I have a few pieces that have come to be my "old reliables" when the weather gets mucky - these shoes are one of them. They're plastic, open-toed and adorable, so they are impervious to water, allow my wet feet to dry skank-free, and still succeed as looking cute as hell, regardless of the weather.

Also, I believe this is the first time I am showing off my Comme de Garcons pants, which I utterly adore. I had quite a fight wrangling a pair of these. They sold out in a New York minute when they debuted in H&M, which left me trawling eBay for months trying to get my hands on a pair - correction, to get my hands on a pair that didn't cost a billion bucks. I am pleased to report that with time and perseverance, I was successful, and even snatched them at a reasonable price.

They pants are incredibly comfortable, and very well made of a sturdy fabric - and even have a nice pair of pockets to boot. I have been wearing them like mad, and they have become an invaluable piece of my fashion collection. With their high leg, they are also perfect for rainy days.
