While I love sunny days, I can’t resist a foggy one on Nantucket. It was pretty rainy all day, so we loaded up into our rented Mini Cooper and went on a driving tour of the island. We went from one end to the other and turned down roads as we wished.
As luck would have it, the rain turned to a drizzle as we neared ‘Sconset, so we hopped out to take some photos by Sankaty Light. I think it’s my favorite lighthouse– it’s definitely the most picturesque!
It doesn’t matter where I travel, I always pack along a little anorak or rain jacket for the trip just in case. As a kid, I always wanted a yellow rain jacket because of Molly (the American Girl Doll). My sister had her and one year got the outfit with the yellow rain jacket and galoshes. Even though I loved my Samantha doll, I was always jealous of that yellow rain slicker!
When Barbour released this yellow rain coat, it felt like a must have. (It’s since sold out, but I have seen it in brick and mortar stores before, so it’s worth keeping your eyes peeled. Here it is in red, and it’s on major sale!) My eight-year-old self would be thrilled to see me now. It’s a little aggressive but still feels like a classic wardrobe staple.
(I rounded up some cute yellow options at the end of the post!)
This madras tank top is a great purchase for summer. It’s on sale right now and the price is too good to resist. I’d say it fits true to size for tank tops, I got the size 0.

I LOVE this one so much, this is another version of a yellow Barbour, and this one looks like it has a nearly identical shape as mine.
Thank you for all the yellow recommendations! Can’t get enough of that colour this summer! 🙂

I love that yellow jacket! The color definitely would make any rainy day brighter!
I love your yellow raincoat! I’m desperate for one, too! And even funnier – I’ve seen online you can get a little yellow raincoat for your dog – which would be perfect for me since I have a pug that refuses to walk in the rain! Ha ha!
I hope you have a lovely Sunday,

Country Club Prep still has the Barbour Trevose jacket in stock, in a few sizes. I purchased mine there a few weeks ago when it was on sale. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be on sale right now.
A yellow rain jacket is classic! Ooh I love the Boden one as well 😀 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
So cute! I had a yellow rain jacket when I was growing up and I loved it so much. I was devastated when I out grew it. I finally got another one this year and I was so thrilled!

I love this! Samantha was my favorite too and my sister had Molly but Kirsten was her favorite haha those were the days. Looks comfy too!
I ADORE that tank top, and the yellow rain jacket is so cute! You definitely rock it. And haha I totally relate to getting fashion inspiration from American Girl dolls 😉
That yellow rain jacket is so cute! It definitely reminds me of Molly, the American Girl doll. Thanks for linking to similar styles. 😀

I totally forgot about Mollys raincoat from American Girl!! Too cute. I was definitely a Samantha girl too…and I’m so bummed because they don’t make Samantha anymore. 🙁 Such a classic doll!!

As soon as I saw the first picture, I thought of Molly and her yellow rain coat (she’s the doll that I had and I was jealous of the outfit!) so when I got to that part of your article – I cracked up!!
I think I need to order one for my 8-year old self as well! xx
