Yesterday was the first day of spring.  Oddly enough, it was the epitome of a blustery March day up North rather than the milder version usually experienced here in the South. (It’s been in the high 70s/low 80s the last few weeks.)  I layered up for church using a duster over a blouse on top of my favorite pants—so worn in and comfy and yet so bright.  A necklace with some fun pattern + sunglasses in the exact same accent red as the pants topped it all off.

Bonus tip: I wore this outfit Thursday (see Instagram) minus the duster and it reads as a completely different ensemble with the long, solid layer added on.

 

Blouse: Merona, thrifted + tailored
Duster: J. by Jones New York, thrifted
Pants: Bandolino, thrifted
Necklace: bought from a street merchant in Washington, D.C.
Sunglasses: thrifted
Shoes: Trotters handed down from my mother-in-law, painted

How do you warm up your favorite outfits when it’s cooler than expected?  Any trusty piece you can throw on to completely change the look of your clothes?

Happy Spring, Thrifters!
