Black boucle jacket, black pencil skirt, white tee, black flats.

Here is what Melody wore to the wedding she photographed last weekend. Very basic and comfortable, but still fitting for the occasion. It was super warm that day so the jacket was most definitely slung. Flats were a must and bare legs were finally fitting. We're sure you guys all have elements similar to this outfit. So break them out!

OK so you know we have a weakness for coats. We saw these come off the runways in Paris last week and seriously fell in love. Here are a few pointers for buying coats at the moment (or for next year). Look for over-sized, more boxy cuts (the coat sling we talked about yesterday from Vogue works perfectly for this look). Also, the 50's shape/cape look is still going pretty strong (we've been seeing this for a while now). Lastly, the shorter cropped jacket looks oh so chic with longer skirts. Remember Derek Lam last year? Yes, this is a nice look. It's also oh so nice for the spring. So break out your maxis with shorter/cropped jackets! You'll definitely catch us doing it.

Joe Fresh Tee and Sweater Slinging

Sweater Slinging and Joe Fresh

This reddish tee has been one of our casual go-tos lately.  It has even started to make its way into the suitcase (which is saying a lot...meaning it is the most comfy of the most comfy to make it onto the road with us). Want a top similar (or even better) than ours? Here's what Joe Fresh has cookin' for spring. Also, we've been totally rocking what's being called "coat slinging." We were surprised after sporting it that Vogue wrote a whole article about it here (it's fun to go through the slides of all the fashionistas). Although this is a sweater, Melody wore a jacket slung this past weekend for the wedding she shot (will show you soon). And to tell you the truth, it was nice being neither hot nor cold. Here's to more in-between weather options!
