Singing in the rain

“I´m singin´ in the rain
Just singin´ in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
And I´m happy again.
I´m laughing at clouds
So dark, up above,
The sun´s in my heart
And I´m ready for love.”

‘Singin’ in the rain’ by written by Arthur Freed

It’s been raining cats and dogs in both Pretoria and Joburg the past week so I’ve had to dust off the old umbrella in order to ward off frizzy hair and ruined shoes. In the process of searching for my slightly disabled, three year old umbrella I realised that waking up to pouring rain shouldn’t hamper one’s inherent fashion sense and the happiness we find in dressing in something pretty each day...No! Instead we should be singing in the rain, viewing brightly coloured umbrellas as the newest fashion accessory and matching your umbrella to your outfit just like the hip ladies of the 60’s matched their lip colour to their nail polish.

So I stepped out into the rain under a pretty green umbrella from Woolworths that perfectly matched my earrings and ring. It’s the umbrella revolution..and it’s time to join in! And what better way to join than by getting your hands on one of these two brightly coloured umbrellas I found at Woolworths!
