A Smile is Your Umbrella: The Plaid Edition

Plaid Turns That Frown Upside Down.

When I was a sweet faced six year old, my grandma on my pop's side taught me this song. I think of it whenever I pull out an umbrella and prepare for a rain day. What makes me smile these days are polka dots, stripes and plaid on plaid on plaid. So there's plenty to smile about right now. 
Happy Wednesday, peeps!

Your best armour for living in Seattle... I love that clip. I only know Rosemary Clooney, not Betty, but Betty is pretty swell too!

You just made me think of my Tia Raquel.. your grandmother, my auntie. My dad (your grandfather's brother) would sing this song as well. How strange...
