Here’s something I wish I would have always known: Every girl needs a bright colored jacket for spring.
I always thought that a classic trench or J.Crew field jacket was the necessary go-to during the first few months of spring, and while they do serve a coveted spot in your wardrobe – a bright colored coat is where it’s at. I snagged this hot pink beauty while shopping in Vancouver with the lovely Jen last year, and I didn’t think I’d get that much use out of it. After all, it’s bright – like, could stop traffic on Michigan Avenue bright. Turns out, it was exactly what I needed this spring – and it in fact does add a little spring in my step every time I wear it out. Plus, when it’s paired with more subtle bags and shoes, you’re not totally going to blind strangers on the street 😉
ps. thanks to Shaheen for the photos!
What a fantastic coat! I imagine the color is an instant mood lifter.
This coat is perfect – also LOVE these flats!
You look so great in bright lipstick! And your outfit is perfect.
AHHH, that's PERFECT. Love love love the color! Also, please excuse me if you see a crazy person run up to you and say I KNOW YOU, because with that coat being as wonderfully bright as it is, I'll totally do that if I run into you around Chicago. ;D
