I am sorry to report that snow showers are in the long-term forecast for the east coast (yes, more slush next week!), but perhaps I can alleviate some wintry misery by sharing with you some hard-to-find pieces that flawlessly handle the cold-then-warm-then-cold climate typical of spring that will, I assure you, come! I'm talking coats and jackets that are ideal for layering over a lightweight or chunky sweater or (best case scenario) a simple t-shirt or blouse. Take for example, the vibrantly-hued , above, as sported by Olivia Palermo in London last month. I love its fresh pop of color and how it "springifies" her look. These colorful toppers from and do the same. Also fun: a vivid print coat or jacket such as this , this , and this . This (20% off) is also drop-dead amazing, but if you're looking for something left of center, why not this (cute when belted too, and it's 65% off!). Of course, you can't go wrong with a classic trench such as this . I also adore this (Chanel-y) and this slightly edgy zipper-accented one from . More springspiration below!
