After I wrote about those kickass rain coats, I got to thinking. When it’s raining out, I not only still want to look good, I need to keep my belongings from getting wet, especially my electronics. Trust me, you would not want to deal with me if something happened to my BlackBerry. It’s my lifeline, and even more than staying in touch with friends or being available when my mom calls, I need it to keep up with Twitter. Come on, like you weren’t having a bout of withdrawal the other day when it was down. That’s what I thought. So yeah, the last thing I need is for my BlackBerry—or any of my stuff, really—to get drenched when the weather’s bad. The other thing is, most of my handbags are leather, along with a few that are suede. I do have a couple that are nylon or some other material, but they’re mostly totes or other fun summer bags that don’t really go with my fall wardrobe. I didn’t realize this before, but not only does patent leather look great, it’s waterproof. Duh. What took me so long? Now I’m seriously considering this Dooney & Bourke Patent Aqua bag.
