There was no coincidence or irony involved when the saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” was coined.  Not only has Susan Miller deemed this April as calamitous, we are set for a very literally stormy thirty days.  Weather becomes more unpredictable than the stock market or my PMS and one has no choice but to prepare for battle wearing the right protective armor.  The number or umbrellas that I’ve left behind in a taxi or have been stolen from the courtesy bins at the front of restaurants is innumerable.  My current umbrella, which is up for the taking outside of my front door, is a blue semi broken contraption given to me by a bartender at Bakehouse.  But none of this means you need to navigate the rain looking like a wet rat.  Invest in a sturdy and stylish pair of boots, a tailored waterproof coat, and an umbrella that you’ll be more conscious of keeping safe.
