Lady Jackets and Cardigans

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog, 

and I hope everyone had a nice Easter break!

The lady jacket and lady cardigan

  reemerged to the fashion forefront this past fall and winter season

This style is continuing to trend for spring and summer as well  

I am glad to see it have staying power, as it is such a classic  

 

This week, I thought I would rummage around in my closet

and pull out one of each, a jacket and a cardigan

 from previous seasons to style for spring

This cropped, boxy silhouette never really goes out of fashion-

CoCo Chanel and Jackie O are icons forever!

Are you a fan of the lady jacket and cardigan?

I have seen a lot of women wearing them lately

There are so many variations in the shops now

While they are so popular and readily available,

you might find one that really suits you! 

The ones I am wearing in this post are from previous seasons,

 but I also purchased a bright pink lady cardigan this season,  

 That I wore in last week's post

For my first outfit I am wearing

a Kelly green, navy blue and white tweed jacket with four flap pockets

(that actually hold things)

This shade of green, and similar ones

 have come back around to be big fashion colors in the past few years,

especially this year, as Pantone named "Mint" 

one of their colors of the year

This year's "mint" looks quiet different  

 from the minty colors of past years

Pantone's swatch looks very much like Kelly green to me

I am wearing this jacket over a white ribbed mock neck top,

and paired with a navy blue button front skirt 

Carrying a Kelly green reptile embossed bag in a classic style

For jewelry, I chose a gold tone cuff with green stones all around,

my chunky chain initial necklace,

and 60's vintage double entwined circle earrings 

Navy and white polka dot scarf in my hair

 to add a little fun and whimsy

Navy suede horse bit detail, block heel loafers

seemed just right to finish this timeless look

Next is a black and white knitted soft and lofty wool sweater jacket

 It reads grey in the photo, but the yarn is knitted in a pattern that is reminiscent of tweed

It is open in the front, and piped all around in black satin

Worn over a bright royal blue faux wrap dress 

Carrying a red patent leather 1960's vintage bag

It features a unique metal handle in gold tone and red

Wearing bright, bold gold tone jewelry

 to complement the simple lines of this outfit

Wide chain necklace and the same entwined circle clip on earrings

as the first outfit

A few more accessories:

Black leather gold buckle belt 

and a red scarf in my hair

Grey faux suede, cross strap, block heels

to finish the look

I have this shoe in taupe, and have gotten a lot of use from them so,

 I recently purchased the same pair in grey thinking it would be

a nice alternative to black

I haven't worn them much yet, but we'll see!

Hope everyone has a good week!
