Create28: Lovely Spring Looks- Spring Jacket

Today I'm doing double duty!  I'm featuring my "Spring Jacket" look for Create28: Lovely Spring Looks with Carrie and it's my turn to "take one and pass it on" for Blogging Besties with Alex!

I'm currently enjoying a snowy and chilly Spring Break in Michigan...and I didn't bring a winter coat.  Yes, yes, I know better!  But it's Spring Break!  I refuse to wear anything but this beautiful, blush pink spring jacket!

What's your go-to look for spring layering?  A trench coat?  A rain jacket?  Show us what you've got on Instagram (#Create28SpringLooks) or by linking-up with us on Monday!

Tomorrow's featured look will be denim!  Carrie's got something great in store for you!

If you are new to my blog, every Friday is time for Blogging Besties: a "take one, pass it on" challenge between my blogging bestie, Alex of Undergraduate Style, and me!  If you want to learn more about this series, check-out past editions here.

Better than a Sweatshirt

This ensemble is my answer to those chilly, lazy mornings when you still want to look put together!

My primary motivation in starting Whitney à la mode was to motivate myself and to hold myself accountable for dressing more fashionably.  One area where I have always struggled with looking put together has been with comfy clothes.  Before discovering personal style blogs, my go-to outfit on lazy mornings was a sweatshirt and jeans.  While there is absolutely nothing wrong with sweatshirts, I have been trying to step up my game!

I love this outfit because it is as comfortable as a sweatshirt while looking like I put a little bit of thought into my clothing.  The key to this ensemble is an extremely comfy dress!  Then I just added cozy layers until the look was completed.

What I'm Wearing:

• Dress: Gap (exact)
• Scarf: Vacation souvenir (similar, similar)
• Jacket: Pimkie (similar, similar)
• Tights: In France (similar, similar)
• Booties: Old Navy (exact)
