Spring is right around the corner… tomorrow, to be exact. Still, it feels a bit nippy outside, making it all the more difficult to get into what we wish could be truly warm weather.
Yet, with a few injections of color and a bit of strategic layering, it can be done! The key is to pick staples like a bright coat (in this case, a yellow trench), a cute underlayer (a purple silk tank blouse) and a basic, chic v-neck sweater to give you the cozies.
Hope my spring lookbook gives you all some ideas — spring might still be hiding, but that doesn’t mean you have to!
