Layering For Spring

The Case for Investing in the Perfect Spring Layer

There's just something about slipping into a lightweight jacket after months of being bundled in heavy winter coats. It's like your shoulders finally get to exhale. This adorable blue and white quilted jacket from The Great is exactly the kind of piece that makes you remember why spring is worth waiting for…it's got just enough weight to keep the morning chill at bay, but you're not weighed down by layers of wool and down anymore!

I'm sure I'll be reaching for this jacket constantly as the weather gets warmer! I love it paired over an off white tee (mine is sold out but love this white tee) and my straight leg jeans from AYR with either my Gucci loafers (mine are older but these are similar and I’m obsessed with these) or a pair of sneakers. I have a feeling it’s going to be my uniform for those early spring in-between days when the temperature can't quite make up its mind. The fit is relaxed so you could wear it with a sweater on a cooler day. There's something about the blue and white that feels fresh and optimistic (we definitely need optimistic right now)…like you're ready for whatever the day brings! Whether your going to an impromptu lunch outside or just finally being able to run errands without feeling like you're wearing a sleeping bag. This is the season for pieces that work as hard as you do but don't look like they're trying too hard, and this jacket checks every box!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! This is our last day in Florida and I’m going to soak up some sun!

Thanks so much for reading today!
