I am glad you pulled through it. Really cute outfit on the dog you posted and I think you look much better then me when a storm hits. I just wear whatever waterproof stuff I have when a massive rainstorm hits, even though I probably look hideous LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1410076 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 22:34:54 +0000 Aida 1410076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote urban for the rain look. A femme rain look? Hmm perhaps a flared trench and tall wedge heel wellies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1410062 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 22:15:22 +0000 Suz 1410062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. Those photos of the rain!! Wow.&nbsp;</p> <p>I bow down. I mean, we get cold. We get snow. But that we do not get. No wonder Lilypup wants to curl up and hide. I would, too. (Love her coat, by the way. Also love the genesis of her name.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, your outfits are beyond fantastic. I love how you can go from one look to another that's completely different -- yet still look like yourself. Why can't I do that?&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think your rain look was "masculine" so much as "urban." Esp. with Lilypup on your arm.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then again, I do have high tolerance for mannish.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and in other news, you are a species of saint for taking your neighbour to work in all that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409974 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 19:37:38 +0000 rachylou 1409974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still constant rain, but the squalls have passed. It occurs to me my improvised rain look is pretty masculine, and I'm not sure what a feminine rain look would be... not if you really want to stay dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409834 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 14:25:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1409834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope things are looking up weatherwise!&nbsp; I love your rain look -- comfy, but also rather stylish.&nbsp; And Lillypup looks adorable in her coat (although I'm sure the wind and rain made her love the couch even more). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409714 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 03:49:27 +0000 Jaime 1409714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are ready for any weather. And whether. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409597 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 00:14:10 +0000 rachylou 1409597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! I think I'll return to the sofa/nest myself.</p> <p>And I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna wear the folklore outfit for the family dinner. No rushed laziness this year!</p> <p>Will have to think about what shoes. What short of shoes say *folklore*? </p> <p>p.s. Gak! I don't know that it was such a brilliant idea to try and wear my rubber riding boots out by using them as rain boots. Not on the long dog walks. They leak! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409593 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 00:04:52 +0000 Angie 1409593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lilypup has the right idea, snuggling up on the couch in this weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>You and Pup look very weather appropriate and smashing. Loving the shocking pink, that complements your dark neutrals.&nbsp;And I dare you to&nbsp;wear the folklore garb to Xmas dinner with the family. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409587 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:53:55 +0000 rachylou 1409587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thx, for the outfit approval! I do believe I'll wear it for X-mas indeed.</p> <p>I like to hike, but haven't been out forever. I didn't even get to go car camping with my mom this year. But rain gear is useful. And at one outfit every 20 years, lol, the cost of ownership isn't too bad. Nice to have it ready to go when you need it.</p> <p>I've only had one Goretex jacket ever. I didn't find it very warm or waterproof enough. I'd probably go for something like the rain pants - zippered for breathability because they're really waterproof - and do some sort of under layer for warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409566 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:18:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1409566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your photos are so fun,Rachylou! Love Lilypup all curled up, and then ready to go in her rain jacket. You look ready for the weather in your outdoor outfit, and I do like that Christmas outfit! What shoes are you wearing with it?</p> <p>Do you ever go hiking? Or think you'll want to? If so, it might be worth looking at sales to replace your wet-weather gear. Since there's no hurry, you can take the time to find something at the right price. I've never invested in Goretex myself, because I'm not that into hiking, but I do have a jacket that is a good rain-resistant option, and pants that are at least quick-drying. That might be enough for you to have on hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409553 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:08:31 +0000 Aida 1409553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah how fun ^^ I must admit that I pictured Lilypup as the Pokemon version until seeing an actual photo ;)</p> <p>My Kitty fully agrees with Lilypup's thoughts about the rain, by the way. He's barely budged off his heating pad all week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409544 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 22:58:33 +0000 E 1409544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eek! I hope everyone in that area is ok.</p> <p>Love seeing Lilypup all curled up; that's what Thistle thinks about rain too. And your work from home outfit is beyond fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409542 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 22:57:25 +0000 rachylou 1409542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never new about the Pokemon connection! Total coincidence. A play on *Lilliput* really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409541 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 22:55:12 +0000 Aida 1409541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The rain outfit looks perfectly suited, and I think the holiday outfit looks fun! Much prefer the lighter stole myself.</p> <p>As an aside, I've always wanted to ask about your pup's name. <a href="http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/lillipup" rel="nofollow">Pokemon related</a> or happenstance? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing/page/2#post-1409455 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:37:08 +0000 Dimity 1409455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fun to keep the family peeps amused!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409452 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:29:38 +0000 Elly 1409452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awe-- Lilypup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409447 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:19:38 +0000 Laurinda 1409447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking storm-ready!&nbsp;&nbsp;I lived in the Bay Area during the storms/flooding of Feb '86, and it was no fun.&nbsp;I hope all the West-coasters are staying dry &amp; cozy, and&nbsp;maybe this rain will help the water supply a bit in CA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409439 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 20:11:45 +0000 Anonymous 1409439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late responding to this, but I love your rain outfit Rachy. Lilipup looks great in her little rain jacket too!</p> <p>Wow, you look awesome in the outfit for Christmas, very grand! And I like the light stole.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409434 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:59:50 +0000 rachylou 1409434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good! I worried I looked like Stevie Nicks (not that there's anything wrong with that ;&gt;)</p> <p>I was a little embarrassed earlier, staying home - because the t.v. news was showing zero traffic. But then I found out my exit is completely flooded, up to the wheel well. They're showing two cars stuck in the water. I feel better, lol. </p> <p>ETA: I almost went with this black stole - thought it was more Russian (hahaha) - but this lighter one had a better shut.</p> <p>Also: When I had more time and was outdoorsey, I had rain gear. Pants and jacket. They fell apart, and I never replaced them. I don't know whether to correct this, or just never give my mother her rain pants back. For a jacket, I'm relying on this jacket I was going to give away, but it's my most waterproof. It's got faux leather sleeves (the most waterproof part); the body is a dark green nylon, veering towards olive (which is not my colour).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409433 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:59:32 +0000 MsMaven 1409433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steady rain here and the wind hasn't been too bad. So far so good. Got out my raincoat for the first time in a couple of years and it feels tight.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope everybody stays safe today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409427 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:52:10 +0000 thimblelina 1409427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a beautiful tsarina who should be sipping tea from a samovar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409423 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:46:52 +0000 rachylou 1409423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Kristin. I've been listening to Channel 2 news all morning. The meteorologist keeps talking about how old he is and how it was like this in '82 with no breaks and how most of *us* out there weren't even born yet... Haha, I remember that in '82 and it went on forever, and I walked to school every day in it. Haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409419 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:41:16 +0000 Kristin SF 1409419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you are so nice, taking your neighbor to work in this mess!!</p> <p>It's raining hard, but not "school's closed" hard. I got suckered into keeping the kids home today. Back to school they go tomorrow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409368 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 18:17:51 +0000 rachylou 1409368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mm, yeah, do not have it together this morning. Was going to be up before 7, dial into a conference, and go knock on my neighbor's at 7:30 and give her a ride to work.</p> <p>Instead, The Lilypup jumped up barking at 7:30 - and thankfully, my brain said *NEIGHBOR.* Threw on puffer over night gown, pulled on boots and leggings (not in that order) and got her to work on time.</p> <p>Got back home and could not find the rain pants!! Arggh! Found them after two trips to the car and searching the same bag over and over.</p> <p>Pics: <br />1 &amp; 2: Some pics of our flooded courtyard.<br />3: What Lilypup thinks of all this rain business<br />4: Found rain pants<br />5: Lilypup's new RC Pets rain coat<br />6: Back home, the whole morning practically spent, changed into today's *work clothes* - aka, playing around with Folklore Fashion. I think I'll wear this for X-mas dinner. It's *some outfit.* It will crack the family peeps up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409337 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 16:32:41 +0000 christieanne 1409337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a heavy cold rain this morning in Berkeley but wind seems low so that is good. It's the wind and power outages that are hard to deal with.&nbsp;<br />This rain reminds me so much of the PNW and Olympia. Loved living there!&nbsp;<br />And we never let rain stop life (or close schools).&nbsp;<br />I am home today and sporting comfy ink blue&nbsp;jeans (the ones with stretch) and a loose knit top layered over a tank for warmth.&nbsp;<br />We are going out later to bake Christmas cookies with my parents and I have a raincoat that won't do much in this type of rain but I won't melt.&nbsp;<br />Hope everyone is comfortable as they wait for the storm to pass!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409320 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 15:47:27 +0000 Angie 1409320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang in there West Coasters. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409319 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 15:46:29 +0000 Angie 1409319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you're sorted.

Lobster bisque and mushrooms on toast.

I'm pretty sure the goretex isn't waterproof anymore. It's been ages since I've really needed a rain coat. And I can't remember if my tall Tsubo boots are particularly waterproof. My new hiking boots might be a better idea, but they're only ankle height and not my usual work style at all!</p> <p>I'm looking forward to the storm, for my own selfish enjoyment, but I really hope the damage and disruption are minimal for others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/storm-clothing#post-1409230 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 07:24:53 +0000 rachylou 1409230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that does it, <b>Joy</b>. No raincoats! Hear that all y'all? (talkin' to you specially, two-coat <b>thimbelina</b>)</p> <p>Lol. Sorry. Just being saucy. I can talk because my mum gave me rain pants this evening...</p> <p>...So, <b>Angie</b>, I've got my puffer out, my rubber boots, and now some rain pants. The planned snacks are lobster bisque and mushrooms on toast with fried egg. I just have to find The Lilypup's brand new rain coat... of course I can't find it, it's brand new...</p> <p>I'm thinking I'll try a little folkloric fashion tomorrow.</p> <p>Ok. The Lilypup is poking me with her nose and the wind is <i>rising</i>... </p> <p>p.s. <b>Natalie</b>, those are crazy pics! Is that really No. Cal?</p>
