Has your city gone through roller coaster weather lately? Well, Nashville obviously has. Guessing the temperature for the next morning was like a lottery! Anyway, hopefully that wardrobe nightmare has come to an end. Let’s cheer up and talk about spring! Being a Nashville transplant for quite a few years, I have to admit now I am very much spoiled by the usually mild weather – spring in particular. It is the perfect season, in the sense that you can either show off some skin or bring your layering game on – just do whatever you want. In today’s post, I would love to focus on layers and share with you some of my thoughts on spring jackets, by showing you how adding a third piece could instantly up your entire look.
I’m gonna start with this short parka / military jacket. A versatile army jacket is always a good idea when you are not in the mood of thinking too much but still want some extra cool added to your daily outfit. This topper I’m in love with at the moment is full of details, from the showstopping overload of tassels and pom poms, to the eclectic embroidery and trim with frills. Remember when I talked about building up your look based one key item? To complement the military green I paired with a silky bell sleeve blouse (appeared once in my blog before) in a contrasting orangey-red tone, and finished the ensemble with subdued bottoms – there it is, an easy breezy spring look, with a bit of romantic and feminine hint.
The next one I’m getting into is a classic black blazer with a *twist* (and yes pun intended). Needless to say, a simple suit jacket – which basically goes with anything – saves us from the morning chaos so many times. This one on me takes it up a notch with its dramatic trumpet-like sleeves wrapped with ties for days, making it a perfect alternative if you find your everyday work wear somehow lack of imagination. I blogged about 3 keys to a not so boring office look weeks ago and this statement-jacket-and-unconventional-culottes combo falls right into the category.
The last piece for today is a trench coat that has a little unexpected spin on it. This olive jacket actually has been in my closet for a couple years and to me it hardly goes out of style, thanks to its understated color and flattering draping front. To create a more playful look, I picked a pair of straight cut color-block jeans with a chic undone hem. For a more refined getup, pair it with a satin wrap skirt like I did and you are game.
Now this is a wrap for today. I do hope this post might come in handy if you could use some inspiration for the long overdue spring. Or, what are YOUR wardrobe staples for the coming season? Comment down below and let me know!

While all these outfits are fantastic, I must say the first and third are my favorites! Primarily because the first jacket is such a perfect statement piece, and the third is great to be dressed down. They’re all excellent though!!

I love a classic blazer with a twist either in black or white. Maybe in a nude./blush pink as well, which works really well with my colours. As for spring, a good distressed denim jacket is a must too!
Anything classic with a twist is a must for spring which is the best time for new begginings and a bit more bold looks!
omg i am obsessed with your jacket! love your shots girl!
I am in LOVE with the army green trench! Great post!
All three of these jackets are gorgeous! I’m obsessed with sleeves on the black. I already have three olive green jackets, but that trench is beautiful. This season is all about the tassels!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE

Love that olive trench!
These are great wardrobe staples! I love all three but I definitely think a parka is the best addition to any wardrobe.
I love all these looks, especially the first one! That military jacket is so fun and love the touch of extra color! Last look is PERFECT for the weekend!

This jacket has my sisters name all over it!
I love how unique all your jackets are, the blazer is so pretty! The only thing I’m missing is the trench coat – I have my eye on one from Aritzia!
YES to every single one of these! So cute.
wow i love the first jacket so mcuh girl! xoxo toby
I love all of these looks!!! The details of the first jacket, the bell sleeves of the black one, and that trench coat needs to be in my closet!!!
I love those jackets so much! Everyone needs a good jacket in their wardrobe. They are a great accessory piece.
Love love love love LOVE! Jackets are my jam. They can completely change the look of your ensemble depending on the type.
OMG the long green trench is my fav! I need that right now!
These are really cute jackets! I need to get new jackets for the new season!
The first one is cute. I love how you wear it with the blouse and the sleeves of the blouse peeking out almost as if it is part of the jacket! The black one is GORGEOUS I love how the laces are on the sleeves. I would get way too much pet fur on it though so I would have to pass on it. The last one is my absolute favorite! It is so street savvy. I actually have one similar.
Great picks!
What some absolutely beautiful jackets, I have to admit my favourite has to be the top one, that back detailing is gorgeous <3
I love love love the third jacket! Such a great shade, but it would also go with almost everything in my closet.
I love the detail on the back of the military jacket. It is just gorgeous.
I love the Drape jacket!! I actually recently picked one up from Club Monaco and its absolutely gorgeous. I love the options that you shared as well 🙂

I totally love these jackets but mostly I love is the last one it’s really stylish and comfy.
I’m actually looking for a jacket for the spring. I will check these out.
The weather has been acting crazy in Southern Spain too. I keep having to wear my winter peacoat. These are all great jacket ideas for when it is warm!
Your outfits are amazing, keep up the good work
These jackets are all amazing! It’s definitely too hard to pick a fave!
oooh, I am loving these jackets! Perfect style for Spring 🙂

I love the black jacket. I don’t need anything super heavy in TX. A light jacket gets me by most of the time.
The black one is my favourite it is very stylish. I like your idea of layering because the weather is just so unpredictable at the moment
You look gorgeous in everything! The weather has been crazy. I took my boys to the park and it was 80 degrees we left an hour later and when we got home it was 64 degrees and it was 5pm so the sun wasn’t even down yet.
These are such great looks. I think my favorite is the trench coat look though the first one is pretty cool, too.
I think the last one is my favorite. It looks comfy and warm and stylish.. Three musts.
I really like that black and the long green jacket! They look so lovely on you too.
I really love the details on the back of the top one. So neat! I also tink that the sleeves on the black one are a nice touch. Makes it seem a bit more fancy but not so much that it would look weird paired with a casual top or bottom.
Love the green jacket! I can wear emm everyday! It will be perfect too here in Doha!
I love the white culottes!
I love the look of your outfit! This is so different and creative!
Ooooo loving these jacket suggestions!! I need to go jacket shopping super bad!!!
I’m obsessed with the black dramatic sleeves jacket, super cute and on-trend!
