Over the weekend my roommate and I were discussing our lack of spring jackets. A nice jacket to throw on that isn’t so business like or casual. Last week we talked about the classic trench coat (see post here). It is the perfect spring coat, but is it really what you want to wear to run around town in on the weekends? Sometimes you just need a light coat that isn’t so classic and formal. Sure I have my Barbour jacket that I worship and wear all of the time, but I want something more, something fun, something brighter.

As I searched and searched I stumbled upon this striped trench coat. I thought it would be fun to wear! Casual yet dressed up. Easy to throw on. Elevates every outfit. And stripes is the ultimate classic, preppy print. I was in love.

Happy Friday!! Last weekend I went home to Columbus, Ohio to celebrate Easter with my family. I had a really great weekend! I love spending time with my family. We went to see Beauty and The Beast….. oh em gee it was so good!!!! Probably the best remake of a movie I have ever seen. I didn’t even mind that they added a few new songs (to be honest I thought the songs were adapted from the Broadway play, so I didn’t mind… they were not). Anyway, go see Beauty and The Beast if you have not!!

off the shoulder top // white jeans // sandal pumps // clutch (similar) // tassel earrings

Last season the off the shoulder look was all the rage. This season it seems the number one trend is the one shoulder silhouette. But don’t throw away your off the shoulder tops just yet, they are still a must have item of the season. I personally think the off the shoulder silhouette is a more flattering look on everyone. Maybe it is just the OCD person inside of me that likes the symmetrical look. Maybe I just like my shoulders and want to show them both off? Maybe my one arm get cold and lonely while the other arm is warm and fancy? Who knows. What I do know is that the off the shoulder look is not going away anytime soon.
