Spring Forward

by Jen on Wednesday, March 21, 2012


Overjoyed would be an underestimation of how I'm feeling about the official arrival of spring: to celebrate the day yesterday, lots of ice cream was consumed and adorable mini orchids were introduced to my windowsill to brighten things up (thanks, D!). I also wore this salmon pink H&M jacket; it's definitely one of my favourite pieces to wear in the summer. The colour exudes a sense of happiness and warmth, and having it on made the promise of longer days that much more exciting.




Wearing: UniQUEEN jacket (last seen here), H&M jacket, YesStyle blouse (last seen here), 7 For All Mankind pants, Zara shoes, MICHAEL Michael Kors bag, bfrend bracelet

I'm quite happy to that the winter is over, it's just not my season, at the beginning i love wearing all my boots again, but after 4 weeks, I really feel like pumps and flats, more sun and more colors!

I love the layering you did here :) That rose jacket is SO pretty! x

I like the layered effect on your top, jacket and coat: the longer blouse sleeves peeking out from the 3/4 jacket sleeves, and a big houndstooth coat thrown over everything. Very nice!

Spring can't come quickly enough for my liking. My patience with winter is wearing thin.

Love that bracelet! I'm thinking of putting my tweed/knit jackets away in the hopes that Spring will stay here in LA! :)

I have the same H&M jacket!! I've been trying to think of ways to style it!

Great coat!

Lovely layering! The colour burst on the inside adds an element of fun for this classic look. I love the chain pearl bracelet; dainty and feminine but interesting with the chain. Great photos!

I'm extremely excited for Spring too! So glad the sun came out to celebrate its arrival. Your salmon jackets gives the outfit a great pop of colour and I love that you balanced it out with all black and white.

This look is so "Jen" to me: I've so associated that orange tone with you now, and the strong print, touches of glamour and all-over elegance is so you! I was so happy to see your beautiful face yesterday, can't wait to see you more over the month!

you're blog is one of my favourites (if i haven't said that before). when i don't know what to wear in the morning i start to think, what would Jen wear. granted i don't have much to choose from, so its hard.

i love the pop of colour and the classiness you bring to each ensemble.
looking forward to the next
