5 Spring Jackets You Should Consider

Ah Spring! It's almost here. It's time to shed the heavy coats and opt for a lighter weight jacket. Here are five spring jackets you should consider for your wardrobe. These will take you from work to weekends and in between.

Not my signature

If you are a regular reader, then you probably recognized right away that this is not my signature look. Nonetheless, sometimes it's fun to try a different look. I started out with booties but they just weren't comfortable so I switched to my sneakers. I love these shoes and they have been a go to for "off duty" casual attire lately. Once I went with the sneakers, I decided what the heck, since I've got a sporty thing going on with the stripes and sneaks, I may as well throw on the beanie. I do like to wear a beanie once in a while in the winter, but I'm not so sure it really looks all that good on me. Maybe I'm too old for it. I was going to be outside in the cold night air, so the beanie stayed, regardless of looks. Sometimes function wins over fashion.

Beige utility jacket




 
Jacket- Old Navy (old)
shirt- Old Navy (thrifted)
jeans- Levis similar
shoes- Target option  option option
necklace- online boutique  option  option
 
I have this jacket for sale in my Poshmark closet and had someone ask me to model it. I have no blog photos of it because I never really wore it much, so I decided to do a quick post on styling a utility jacket. This one is a very light layer that is perfect for fall. I just threw it on with a striped long sleeve tee, jeans and leopard flats. Pretty neutral, but it works. (The jeans and tee are the base of the outfit you will see tomorrow.)
 
In the third photo the sleeves are worn down, but this jacket has zippers in the sleeves so I unzipped them and turned them back to show a little of the shirt sleeves in the first two photos. The zippers make this jacket easy to cuff for a modern look.

Here are a few other ways I'd style this jacket, pulled straight from Pinterest:

Old Navy inspired

 
I pulled inspiration for this outfit from an Old Navy ad but used pieces I already owned. The earrings and necklace are gifts from my sweet husband, received on different occasions.

The cold snap calls for layers around here. There's no point in investing in heavy pieces that would only get worn once, if ever, so the best thing is to layer when we have record lows like last week.

The utility jacket- a fashion bloggers must have. I wanted one but given that it does not really get cold enough to get much wear from jackets here, I would not buy one until I found this one for $25. So I bought it and waited for cold weather. We finally had that last week but it is supposed to be 80 again Saturday. I guess I better hurry up and wear my jacket again.
 
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and got lots of deals on Black Friday. I've been busy with online shopping and decorating. I took a little break from the blog to tend to those things. Oh boy- December gets so busy!
