What to Wear in a Hurricane

Having lived in South Carolina for a few years, I've seen and reported on my share of hurricanes.

So I know what many of you along the east coast are going through right now. Hopefully, you are safely inland. But many of you will still be dealing with power outages, evacuation and stircraziness.

How can you make this situation slightly more bearable?

With a cute raincoat, of course! And boots! And an umbrella!

In honor of Hurricane Irene, I present to you a few of my favorite rain accessories to keep you (sort of) dry in the wet, blustery weather.

First off, I'm loving this classic trench (ASOS, $100.62) in orange. This will definitely make you a standout when you emerge from your quarters in search of milk.
