I know it’s still February– and I know we will definitely have more snow in our future– but this weekend is the springiest weather ever. I’m talking perfect sixty-degree pure sunshine days. The birds are non-stop chirping outside, and I can’t stop smiling.
I absolutely can’t stand getting dressed in the winter. I swear I wear a combination like this for my everyday look. Sweater, jeans, coat. Bam. Done and simple. I love that when it’s a little warmer out, even if there’s snow on the ground still, a trench coat is almost all that you need.
My mom bought me this trench when I was still at Georgetown actually, and it’s, to this day, one of my favorite coats in my closet. I’ve thought about “upgrading” the coat, and I might eventually want a more tailored trench for sure, but this one is perfectly relaxed and is easily thrown on or off.
I can’t get enough of this bow sweater either. I was having second thoughts about it when I first got it because the bow is big and borderline ridiculous. But it just kind of flops over so it’s not like some giant in-your-face bow.

Fingers crossed that we get a few more of these beautiful weekends!

Love the simplicity!
I totally understand what you mean about getting dressed in the winter; I’m a teacher and end up wearing a variation of the same thing every single day! I can’t wait until spring when I have the motivation to wear lots of fun new outfits to work!

Love this trench! I have been slowly rebuilding my wardrobe after doing a huge overhaul last Fall, and have been looking for classic, staple pieces just like this! Thanks for sharing!
Such a cute outfit! We have also be having unusually warm weather for February and it has me so excited for breaking out my lighter spring jackets! A trench is a must for spring!

I am a bit farther north than you in NH so it was more like 40s-maybe 50 this weekend, but I agree, I am so ready for spring! Nice to be outside without the big winter jacket 🙂

I love that you’ve kept the trench for so long! Goes to show what a classic that piece is for any wardrobe 🙂 Also loving the colour of your shirt, and how your lips match it! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
I love how casual the look is! A fantastic trench coat really does make a difference.

Love that trench – and it’s 40% off right now 🙂 perfect post timing!
I thought that sweater was so cute when I saw it – it looks great on you! I considered maybe wearing it backward…
Great post!
Carly, you look terrific. Love the outfit and the lipstick, and you’re in great shape! Loving your posts and your positivity lately :-).
Looks like it’s been a spring-like weekend all around! We’ve had wonderful weather in Spain too.
I love your bow sweater, Carly. It’s a simple piece but the bow makes it so special.
Hey Carly! How do you keep your sweaters from shrinking? I have several J. Crew Factory cable knit sweaters that have shrunk in all the worst ways even though I have only dried them a few times. I usually just wash them and hang dry. What can I do to prevent this in the future?
I love this bow sweater, I don’t think it is too much at all!! So cute!

I actually really like the bow as is, not too big at all, just right 😉
Hope you had a nice weekend.
Hugs,
