How to make a Spring jacket purchase profitable How to make a Spring jacket purchase profitable
The arrival of spring is often an euphoric moment; the temperature rises, the sun shines brighter than ever and the sidewalks clear up. We want to enjoy every moment outdoors, but how to dress?! Because yes, it's great that the warmth is back, but there's a long "in-between" period where it's too warm for your winter down jacket, but too cold for your favorite denim jacket. So I thought I'd make a spring version of my blog One dress two looks and present you with two coats and two ways to wear them to get the most out of them :)
For the first coat, I chose the Arabella from Soïa & Kyo. It's a nylon coat with a large hood and a belt. It's not lined, but with a good fleece jacket underneath, it's possible to wear it when it's cooler (by cooler, I mean still above zero!). Also, the (removable) belt helps prevent wind from entering from underneath.
Beanie: Caddie by Soïa&Kyo - Scarf: Miri by Soïa&Kyo - Bag: Palmview by Rudsak
The first outfit is for colder weather. I chose light accessories, it's still spring, we want light! If it's not warm enough yet, you could even opt for a fur vest to put over it, like the Malverne by Rudsak. It's fashionable and cozy!
Scarf: Daisie by Soïa&Kyo - Bag: Minka by Matt&Nat
The second look with the Arabella is much lighter. The coat can be worn open, either without the belt or tied at the back. It's truly an everyday look, easy to wear for work, school, or the grocery store! I love the pop of color brought by the Matt&Nat handbag! I could have opted for a powder blue bag or mint green too... all perfect choices to add some punch to your look!
The second coat I chose is a reversible Point Zéro down jacket (yes, reversible!). That's what charmed me about this jacket; a floral jacket is nice, but having a more sober option in one and the same coat... I love it!
Scarf: luw0448 by Lolë - Bag: Baxter by Matt&Nat
Again, the first outfit is cozier with the massive Lolë infinity scarf. Its comfort is truly incomparable! You could add the matching beanie or mittens for even more warmth. I opted for a large tote bag, perfect for slipping your mittens into when the day warms up!
Bag: Mumbai by Matt&NatWe keep the same coat, but flip it to the other side. We end up with a super summery down jacket with pretty flowers (not too flashy). I paired it with one of my favorites this season, the small Mumbai backpack by Matt&Nat in Koala color. I added light and shiny jewelry for the final touch... It makes me look forward to Spring!!
I am truly a fan of multi-functional/multi-seasonal items. Not only do we get more value for our money, but we are also less likely to get tired of them!
And what about you, what's your summer basic?
