Earlier this week the East coast finally had a respite from the massive inches of snow,  but then it began to rain. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take rain over snow, but both elements can really put a damper on your style game and especially your footwear.

Luckily I have a few go-to looks and boots for snowy, slushy and/or rainy days. When I need to put the heels away but don’t want a clunky wellies, I step into my zigzag vintage boots I scored for less than $10 from the Salvation Army.

New York Fashion Week just ended and I was literally shaking my head at some women who rocked 5 inch {open toe!} stilettos during a blizzard. Let me tell you something, you can still look cute in a seasonally appropriate outfit.

Besides the right footwear, a few fun accessories and outerwear are all you need. I continued the thrifted theme by wearing my red coat and vintage clutch, both from Housing Works Buy the Bag. And my nails even got in on the action, as I applied my Revlon by Marchesa jewel appliqués.

The only item I wore that wasn’t thrifted was my statement necklace from Prima Donna {similar style here} and a polka dot umbrella from TJ Maxx.

The rest of my look was also thrifted, with an oversized collar A-line LBD for $7 {similar style here}, tortoise shell belt and a fire engine red shirt.

One of the things I really love about thrifting, besides the prices, is the unique items you can find. I’ve never seen boots like the ones I scored or an intricately designed and handmade clutch for less than $1.

When mother nature gives you rain or snow, just step in to some funky boots and twirl!
