A water proof fitted rain suit would be horribly sweaty and stifling, I'd think. I have an expensive nicely fitted gortex lightweight biking rain jacket...and I feel like I'm suffocating when I ride in it. If I wear it just walking around in the rain I'm fine, but when pedaling it gets too suffocating. rain-proof fabrics tend not to breathe, so that's why they tend to be made into looser fitting items.
A lot of rain commuters wear ponchos because they can still breathe and can wear their work clothes underneath- no changing clothes once you get to work. Loose lightweight rain pants are good because you can slip them on over your regular work pants and arrive for work totally dry and ready to work.

If you wanna look like a girl you apparently have to wear cycling jerseys and spandex and have hundreds of dollars... otherwise, it's 80's leftovers or that awesome rolling trash bag look!!!
Does anyone know of a company that might do cute, stylish, gear for a young, female, day to day commuter? Pink? Leopard Print? Maybe some cute roll up pants that you can button or a jacket that doesn't ride above your butt crack?
Sounds like you could just wear regular rollup/button cargo pants and regular 'cute' jacket for that.

You don't say what kind or how long your daily work commute is. The big question is: do you need to wear actual 'biking gear' for your commute? (aside from helmet and gloves for safety of course)
Do you intend to have 'cute bike commuting clothes' for your commute and then change into work clothes once you arrive at work?...or do you want to just ride in your work clothes (whatever that might be) and cover them somehow against the rain? It would be helpful if we knew this.
