wearing lately: spring showers

The last day of May seems a little late to finally be posting my go-to "spring showers" outfit for the year - but then again, spring was rather late to arrive, and there have been lots of showers lately... which I find myself a bit more tolerant of when it's an opportunity to wear this cutie gingham rain jacket. 

I'm a big fan of owning a range of fun outerwear to cope with any inclement conditions, really - so how could I resist this guy on clearance? Makes a whole outfit when you throw it on over jeans and a white tee - couldn't be easier.

Speaking of clearance, I also scored this adorable canvas mini tote a couple of months ago for a steal of a deal (sadly not available any longer, but some similar ones linked above), and I just cant get enough of the cute. Plus it's perfect for rainy days, when I don't want my leather crossbody to encounter the wet. Admittedly it doesn't fit much beyond wallet, keys, and phone so not always 100% ideal - but it does coordinate very nicely with the diaper backpack, so I match well when I require kid gear to be carried along too. Ha!
