Rain, Rain Go Away

And don't come again another day. Snow or sunshine only from now on out, please. At the special request of @WakeForest1834, we've put together a little extra post for today for some style inspiration on a rainy day.

A fabulous trench: 

With more practical shoes:

Now in case you need practical and cost effective:

And a fun project to do with your leftover Mountain Weekend cooler paint, a DIY striped umbrella. Instructions can be found here.

Lastly, this umbrella is sold out, but we love it dearly. Why not make this yourself? Gold paint and a steady hand will do the trick. We love the whimsy of the falling gold raindrops.

All of these items and more can be found on our Pinterest "Rain, Rain Go Away" board. Are you on Pinterest yet? Follow Chic Deac and she'll follow you right back. Have a cozy day, chic ones!

Black & Gold Dress [On Sale]

ASOS has a darling black and gold cocktail dress that is currently on sale for $75. We love the embellishments on the collar and long chiffon sleeves for a cold winter night out. 

DIY Lacy Gold Chain Necklace

Good news, y'all: Chic Deac is alive and well. Just had to take a mental break from posting while taking an actual break from Wake Forest. But we are back! 

The first day of class is here and we're already looking for a craft project that will distract us from the mounds of homework that will surely pile up over the next few weeks. We found this adorable DIY lacy gold chain necklace on Pinterest and we are eager to try and replicate it. Who doesn't need a fabulous statement necklace on a budget?

You can find the instructions here.

This week is overwhelming for everyone involved, so take some time tonight to review the looks from Jason Wu's new Target collection. The collection goes on sale on February 5. We can't wait to see it all in person, but this first glance is satisfying for now. We are in love, particularly with this black and gold look:
