Spring jackets

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog!  

This week I am styling two jackets from my wardrobe 

that are just right for this time of year

Many of us are (still) transitioning to the warm weather 

Although it is June, and the summer equinox is just around the corner,

it has been the slowest, coolest and rainiest spring that I can remember in years!

There will be a beautiful promising sunny day or two in the seventies,

and then back we go to the rainy low sixties for a spell, again 🤷‍♀️ 

Anyway, my first outfit features a classic moto jacket,

you can't beat it for any kind of weather! 

The moto jacket is a versatile staple already in most women's wardrobes

In leather and heavier denim, it is great for the cooler months,

but in a lighter weight denim or a wide array of light weight fabrics

the moto jacket is great for warmer temperatures  

I like the fresh and  unusual twist on this one

 It is made of a boucle fabric in bright white that is perfect for layering

Worn here, all zipped up, over a short crepe blue shirt dress with a white ditsy floral print  

 

Green is a very popular color for this spring and summer,

so I am accessorizing with a pop of Kelly green in a bucket bag 

Wearing one of my many vintage scarves in my hair

I am a native Washingtonian, so this brightly colored one

depicting the Mall and historic landmarks is a sentimental favorite 

Simple silver tone sculptural jewelry to complement the zippers on the jacket

Shiny navy blue patent leather kitten heel sling backs to finish the look

Here is another outfit option for spring featuring a jacket, this one in denim

It is a light wash and slightly distressed one in a retro 70's style 

This style has come back around again with the recent emphasis on the waist

I love the slightly fitted silhouette and the mix of the feminine puffed sleeve caps

 and the western shoulder yoke

The pale pink and white floral blouse underneath is part of a set with a matching midi skirt

Worn with straight leg ankle cropped jeans in a medium wash-

double denim!

 

Carrying a pink fabric tote bag with tanned leather trim

 

For jewelry, I chose some chunky pieces in textured silver tone

The unusual wide cuff bracelet is vintage, and a mix of metal and embossed leather

The double chain link necklace is also vintage, from the 60's

My star shaped stud earrings are current, and  artisan crafted

More accessories to add interest to this basic outfit

A pink and blue paisley scarf in my hair,

and a woven leather belt that I added because in seemed like such a good accent

to the trim on my bag

Tan stacked heel short boots to finish this casual outfit

An outfit from spring 2018

Do you remember when these extra long blazer style jackets

 where having a moment in 2018?

Hope you all have a good week!
