So, March arrived, but so did the snow. Winter wasn’t quite ready to leave us yet – and it’s been more stalemate than checkmate. But now, finally, temperatures are on the up.
Winter’s had its last gasp and we’re officially in transition. Which basically means you’ll spend the next couple of months taking off first scarf, then your coat…then putting them both back on again. The weather’s fickle, so you need to be clever to outwit it.
Remember those checked coats we talked about in the autumn? Well, they’re just as big for spring – and just as useful. A lightweight checked coat strikes just the right balance between winter and spring.
Here are my favourite ways to wear mine…
With a cute slogan tee

Layered up with a soft scarf on colder days

Keeping it simple with grey knitwear and boots

Checkmate, winter! It’s downhill all the way now to Spring.*
*May regret saying that.
Oh I love that coat — hurrah for the snow now melting and we can all think about spring! Hopefully! Looking great and here’s to more exciting outfits xx
Thanks Jess! The promise of spring is so exciting!
