I have struggled to have adequate outdoor/rainy gear for years now. Granted where I'm at it doesn't rain MUCH. In the past year I bought two pieces that work really well. A jacket from Costco:

And boots from the Merrell outlet:

So they're both great pieces. But on our first rainy day (when I'd actually be outside) I realized that I have "Stone" boots and a black jacket!

How bad is this? I love the pieces individually but it felt like they didn't really "go" together.

For reference I really RARELY need a very warm jacket or waterproof shoes. I don't have any other shoes that work in rain and I don't have any other jackets with a hood.

I'm wondering if (for $29) I should just buy the green version of the same Costco jacket? It seems like it is more similar to the colors of my boots and they're far more expensive and difficult to replace. I could donate the black version. There are lots of organizations looking for warm coats in the winter!

What do you guys think?
