Umbrella

When the weather's down in the dumps, trick your brain by wearing happy, pastel clothing. Top things off with an umbrella that shouts "spring" and a PVC overlay that's precipitation — but not admiring-eye — proof.

Take it from front row denizen Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert: a snowy white backdrop is the perfect excuse to rock in-your-face, Barbie-approved colors. (The more you resemble the star of an early aughts Doublemint gum commercial, the better.) Also, match your neck bandana to your unabashedly bright sweater.
