It will rain. And you will have fashionable footwear that will be great for puddle jumping--if you pay attention.
For inclement weather-friendly footwear, look for these Mary Janes or t-straps with rubber heels, or rain boots in colors that range from schoolgirl yellow to equine tweed. These saddle shoes are all rubber, and there is always the rubber overshoe. But the fun doesn’t stop there--check out the rubber flats and rubber sandals.
Fun in the rain doesn’t mean you have to look like you just walked off a farm.
