It rained most of the weekend and the day I wear my rain boots and raincoat expecting it to rain it’s all sunshine. I’m always a day late on most things, but I kind of don’t mind wearing rain boots even if it’s not raining or snowing. Same with this jacket — yes, true it is technically meant for the rain but it’s so structured and chic I’m fine with it being perfectly sunny and wearing a raincoat. Plus, you just never know when it comes to rain — so I feel much more safe with a rain coat on hand. Sneaky rain can ruin a great hair day in an instant. 
I picked this jacket up when Nordstrom’s coats went on sale a few weeks back. I’ve never really invested in a rain coat before so when I found this one on sale I thought black would be the best choice. A rain coat is something I don’t think about until I need it immediately — or in my case when traveling. (Does this happen to you? I feel like it ALWAYS rains when we travel. Even in when we go to Vegas for market, it ALWAYS rains and it’s the desert. Now that I think about it maybe it’s me...) I liked this one because I feel like I could easily take it anywhere and year round. Of course no trips are planned yet but you better believe the next place we go it’s going to be rainy because I’ve got a rain coat and boots to wear, people. Bring it on rain.

  1. Still loving that Anthro dress from last year! Such a fun print… I think I saw JCrew has a similar skirt this year. Maybe I’ll have to snag that since I missed out on the dress 🙂

  2. You look so cute in this! I also had to do a double take when I clicked to go to the product page on if it was the same jacket really because you look WAY better than the model!

    1. Um you are way too nice to say that, but honestly it’s MUCH better in person. I too had to look a few times to make sure it was the same coat!

      1. Hi Kendi, love the coat you’re wearing! The Ellen Tracy raincoat that you link to on the Nordstrom site is double-breasted, while the coat you’re wearing is single breasted… are you sure the link is correct?

  3. Love your coat. You look just beautiful!

  5. This coat looks so much better on you than in pictures – it looks so shiny on the website.
    that dress is the best part I think!

  9. I purchased an Ellen Tracy trench at the end of spring and LOVE it! It has been a lifesaver in the rain. I love your coat and how you kept this look monochrome.
