Fun Fashion & Accessory Finds For Rainy Days

April Rain Song by Langston Hughes 

Let the rain kiss you 

Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops 

Let the rain sing you a lullaby 

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk 

The rain makes running pools in the gutter 

The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night

And I love the rain.

It's that time of year when "April showers bring May flowers" as the saying goes. I happen to love rainy days. I know I'm probably in the minority on this but I truly feel happy and content on grey, rainy days.

For those of you who don't feel quite the same, here are some cute fashion and accessory finds that might just brighten you up on a rainy day (and they're all $40 or less)...
