Fortunately, I was able to don some lighter-weight outerwear earlier this week, hence this over-sized blazer-jacket hybrid from Gap. I paired it with a grid-print knit jumper layered over a long-sleeve, pop-of-color blouse for a mostly black and white OOTD. Also noteworthy in this look are these waterproof boots! You may recall they were on my 2018 #musthaves list from this post . I ordered several pairs, and found these Chelsea Boots to be the best fit.

True, plaid is more of a fall print, but the length, weight, and chic factor of this coat also work for spring. Plus, I think I've proven that I know how to rock plaids anytime of year( here , here , and here ).  Also, this knit sheath dress was so much fun to layer and of course pockets!

It's fresh with the navy and white color combo, easy to wear, y...

romper- Max Studio via Le Tote , necklace-J. Crew Factory(similarish here ), clutch- Banana Republic , loafers-Target(similarish here ), ring- Jewel Mint I've had a love/hate relationship with rompers trying to find the right one that best suits me over the past few years. This number comes pretty close and I really like the print. I kept the blue theme going with the clutch and loafers. I can also see this piece working with super-high heels and a blazer for a classy night on the town. We're headed to Butcher and the Rye next Friday so maybe I'll give that outfitting idea a go!
