Back in the trenches

Today was a glorious day, for I shed my trusty peacoat and donned a light, breezy trench while running errands! Didn't it seem like winter would never end?

While I fully believe that Mother Nature could unload some fresh snow on us at any minute (my family in Ohio is still dealing with it!), I took advantage of this 52° day as an opportunity to remind myself that this dismal cold is almost over. A lightweight coat has never felt better.

Don't have a trench yet? While I currently rock the classic khaki number, I wouldn't mind one of these attitude-infused pieces full of bright colors, bold prints and swingy silhouettes.
