Transition to Spring with Animal Print 






      It's the time of transition to spring in the Upper Midwest.  Some days are cold and others are quite nice.  This crisp Ralph Lauren coat and mid length boot help switch it up from the usual jacket and pants.  

 coat--ralph lauren petite  
blouse--DKNY
purse--michael kors
skirt--nannette lapore
necklace--vera wang
boots--nine west (thrifted)

    Love the coat! That is actually a perfect animal print color on you too. Sometimes the color of certain ones can be tricky but the size and color of this one suit you perfectly!

      Thanks Jamie--I haven't thought size and color of animal print before but I think you are right. One really needs to take a good look and evaluate does the design of the fabric compliment your coloring.

    I'm loving the color and material fo your shirt-it's so rich and the cut looks really unique. Dressing in springtime hot/cold weather is so hard sometimes!

    This look is seasonless for me! I love every element- the coat, the boots, that blouse, and your lean lithe figure in your long pencil skirt. Great style! Fab fashion.

    That coat is gorgeous! I have a giraffe print coat and zebra trench jacket but they pale in comparison to this one. I also love how the necklace breaks up the boatneck of that beautiful blouse. What a sophisticated outfit!

    I'm just starting to get into animal prints. Your trench is wild in an understated way, which is completely perfect. I could see myself in this look. Very smart.
