Gearing up for Rain

I am in a planning mode today.  After Daniel left for work this morning, I started thinking about how soon school is starting which of course led to thinking about how I can prepare for it.  As you know I have been in a fashion funk lately, so I went right to my closet to see if I could dig up some outfits for school.  Unfortunately, my wardrobe is not ready for school because I realized it is not ready for rain!

In the two winters that I have lived in Portland, I have gone through many pairs of shoes.  The problem is that I always think walking tennis shoes are going to cut it, but I always find myself begging for the rain to stop because my shoes are so worn out and painful.

So #1 on the list is to get some rainproof shoes!  I think I should get boots and flats because I can't do boots that often due to a high bone on my foot (thanks Grandpa Nielsen, I think...although you probably have someone else to thank for yours.)

I'm thinking these sperry flats and these sporto boots...??  But I probably will have to buy them from a department store so I can try them on.

Another funny thing is that I haven't had an umbrella for over a year!  Ridiculous, I know, but I lost mine somehow and never bought a new one.  So I'll have to buy an umbrella because it will make it so I can wear non-rainproof shoes on the lighter rainy days.
