Winter outfit • Layering a Coat over a Denim Jacket

It was another mild winter's day (with a hint of spring in the air) and I really wanted to wear my old denim jacket.
A denim jacket is a spring staple, and spring means hope and positivity!

Unfortunately, despite being mild, it's still much too cold for a single denim layer.
Spring has a while to go yet!
So, I popped a checked coat over the top of my denim jacket for a practical (but fun) layered look.

When I was out and about I had the denim jacket buttoned up to the top, the collar popped and a silk scarf tucked in at my neck.
This was a nice look but I wanted to show you my underlayer (and necklaces) in these photos.

I'm completely obsessed with layering coats over jackets and jackets over (and under) gilets at the moment.
It's such a great way to keep extra warm and get more use out of your clothes!
It also feels (to me) just a little bit 'cooler' than a basic coat.

Id love to know if spring is on its way where you live?

{It was very spring-like in these photos BUT it's back to blowing a hoolie today as I type this!}
