Rain Coats

We've already talked to you about getting a waterproof coat for outdoor workouts. And we've talked about trench coats. And while we stand by our love for the tench because of its versatility, we think that sometimes, you just need a raincoat. 
Today we are showing you our favorite rain coats for spring, whether you're into the neutral utilitarian look, or something a bit more fun and exciting. As always, we like a wide variety of price points.

Frugal (under $100)
  • When talking rain coats, London Fog is a timeless classic. This coat is somewhat utilitarian looking, but completely classic in both khaki and navy. 
  • We've already talked to you about Everlane. If you're looking for something to try from the retailer, go with the The City Anorak. 
  • The price of this coat from British retailer Marks & Spencer already falls in the "Frugal" category, but when you find it's really three coats (two that combine together to make a third), you are definitely smart shopping. 
  • This H&M option is long enough to cover your butt, which is nice. But the black looks kind of like a trash bag. Stick with the red. 
Midline ($100 to $200)
  • So the gingham is available in minimal sizes. But the yellow is available in every size. Bonus: if you get it, you will look like the Morton Salt girl. (10 points to anyone who got the Gilmore Girls reference!) Also from Boden? This adorable Mac in a variety of colors. 
  • Katie 2 is obsessed with polka dots, so imagine her delight when Elizabeth spotted this adorable choice from LLBean. Sizes are pretty limited, so hurry up!!
  • You know we love Lands' End, so no surprise that we came across this bright and cheery rain coat. (We included it in the Midline category because of its $129 price tag, but one of the reasons we love the retailer is their constant sales. Keep an eye out and you could snag this baby for a Frugal price!)
  • This Talbots rain coat reminds us of Neapolitan ice cream. What an awesome thing to think about on a dreary, rainy day. 
Splurge (over $200)
  • Yes, it is a splurge. But Barbour coats are a great investment. The style is timeless, and the quality is what gives it its price point. You won't be sorry with this one. 
  • Remember when Katie 1 recommended that ridiculous Moncler jacket with snow scene on it? Well this Moncler option is way less ridiculous (although the price is just as steep).
  • We love Burberry as much as (or maybe even more than) the next folks. But this particular poncho just isn't for us. Maybe you will feel differently. 
Stay dry out there, friends!

Workout Wednesday: Let's Discuss that NYT Article

By know we've all read (or read about) that New York Times  opinion piece shaming women for wearing anything other than sweatpants to the gym. We're not going to link to it here because we don't want to send additional traffic to the website; however, THIS article from Jezebel  sums the article up quite nicely (make sure to check out the comments, they're gold). In short, the author of the opinion piece wears sweatpants to the gym, doesn't see anyone else wearing them and then proceeds to shame women for (1) wanting to look nice in their workout clothing; and (2) wearing anything other than baggy sweats to the gym. The article also cultivates the very thing that the author claims the proliferation of the yoga pants culture seems to cultivate: it shames women for dressing how they want, when they want.  The overarching theme of women shaming aside (because we don't have the time to go into that), most of the points that the author makes in the article are jus...

Mad for Plaid: An entire post dedicated to Black Watch Tartan

Confession: Katie 1 has a slight obsession w/ Black Watch Tartan. Why? First, because it’s a combination of her favorite colors.  Second, the Duchess of Cambridge.  Third, it has a pretty cool history which makes it even more fun to wear.  It’s fairly common knowledge that Black Watch tartan is named for the 43rd Royal Regiment, commonly known as the Black Watch.  Did you know that Black Watch tartan actually pre-dates the formation of the 43rd Royal Regiment?  In fact, one of the theories behind why the 43rd is called the Black Watch is because of the very dark appearance of their uniform tartan (which we now know as Black Watch tartan).  So how deep does Katie 1’s obsession go?  She could wear a different item of Black Watch tartan every day for more than a week obsessed.  Want proof? Here’s a list of all of the Black Watch items in her wardrobe. Blazer Work Dress Casual Dress Side Zip Ankle Pants Front Zip Ankle Pants Trousers Ski...

Back to Basics: The Sheath Dress

We're back with the second post in our series of basic pieces that working women should have in their wardrobes. If you missed our first, go back and check it out . The goal is to show you those items we come back to time and time again and show you a few ways to wear them so you 1) get some mileage out of the pieces and 2) you don't look (or feel) as though you're wearing the same thing every day. The capsule wardrobe. Be honest- how many times have you pinned it? (Katie 1 would like you to know she's has NEVER pinned it. She has no desire whatsoever to create a capsule wardrobe thankyouverymuch.) Whether it's for vacation or every day, we search for those elusive few pieces that we can mix-and-match in a million different ways to create an entire month's worth of outfits with just seven pieces! We here at Not a Corporate Fashun Blog have no mastered the capsule wardrobe. We, just like you, wake up in the morning with a closet packed full of stuff and ...
