Light Jacket Weather

If there is one thing I wish for in the spring (sartorially speaking) it's light jacket weather. Being in California for two months spoiled me rotten, as it was light jacket weather for the entirety of my stay. I'm now wishing I'd hung out until April so I could have seen all the flowering trees bloom, as here in chilly Connecticut buds are only just starting to appear and I likely won't be seeing any flowers until May.

I'm often pushing the limits of what is weather appropriate. There was no wool coat tucked out of sight on a nearby bench or in the car as there typically is this time of year. Just me in this satin blazer, trying to make a California winter outfit work for a New England spring.

  3. At least the sun is out and shining - which also works out great for these photos because it really shows off the sheen on that blazer (love the colour of it as well).

  14. I'm a bit of a blazer-holic. I could literally wear my plaid blazer every day (and sometimes I do). They're just PERFECT for early springtime layering! Love the color of this one.

  18. This is such a great outfit, even if the blazer wasn't as cosy as you wished it was on a cold day! I love a good blazer and jeans combo :)

    Hope you're having a lovely week so far :) We finally have some cooler autumn weather - I'm even wearing jeans today!

  20. Satin blazer? Are you kidding me ? I LOVE IT! The color and fit are so good L.
    The stripe top to match it was quite clever-

  21. I am impressed by your determination to make the weather bend to your will. I doubt I would have managed to get these photos, never mind to spend a whole day without a coat on - I would love to think I could manage it, but history has shown me that I truly am a weather wimp. So I will continue to live vicariously through your efforts to make spring weather hurry up by dressing for it, while I wrap myself in sweaters and hope that it gets warmer before June :P
