Most of us will probably say that aloud about 20 times in the next month or so, but there is a way to lessen the pain: buy yourself a cute new accessory! Here are some great pieces of rain gear that won't leave you looking like the Gorton's fisherman:

STEAL: Pink ruffle umbrella, $10, redhatsocietystore.com
SPLURGE: Jean Paul Gaultier umbrella, $145, raindropsto.com

P.S. - We hope you enjoyed this! This is one of many more Splurge vs Steal features on Hearts Like Stars. Unlike many magazines, we will NEVER call a $500 purse a f*cking steal. (Seriously, how many people spend $80 on a tank top, even when we're not in a recession? Fashion editors should know better - we all know journalism doesn't pay the big bucks...)
