Certainly we’ve all heard the expression April Showers Bring May Flowers. And while it’s tempting to take the expression quite literally, it’s far more enriching to ponder its deeper meaning: that sometimes you have to experience something unpleasant in order to experience something better.

Whether that’s sweating through a cardio class to make sure you continue to fit into your favorite jeans, trading a year of weekends for a degree that will earn you a promotion at work, or renting your current abode with its miniscule closet long enough to ensure you can make a full 20% deposit on your first home, sometimes you just have to keep your eye on the prize.

Fortunately, today’s VPOD will take you through actual April showers in style and won’t cause too much pain in your pocketbook.

This vintage raincoat by Count Romi has a bold wallpaper print that is completely unexpected for a piece of raingear and is sure to dazzle in both drizzles and downpours alike.

It’s a fine April find for a vintage fashionista!
