Spring has been slow to hit retail stores this year, which might be due to the unseasonably cold weather in the Midwest and on the East Coast. That said, there’s a good enough assortment to begin planning your Spring wardrobes. These items caught my eye and some of them are on sale. Be sure to browse through all the colour options.
- Topshop Wrap Front Jogger Pants: Trendy slouchy trousers for those with an arty or hard edge to their style. Pair with booties, peep-toe booties, cage heels, slip-on sneakers or ankle strap pumps.
- T Tahari 'Cheryl' Trench Coat: A dressy trench with a large Retro collar. Nice length and very streamlined. Might need to size down.
- Rebecca Minkoff 'Derek' Leather Trim Trench: A cropped blush trench is cheeky and different. Looks great worn open and buttoned up.
- London Fog Double Breasted Trench Coat with Detachable Liner (Online Only): A well-made classic in a brilliant length for tall gals. Might need to size down. Read the rave reviews.

- Rachel Zoe 'Gracie' Ankle Strap Sandal (Women): An elegant ankle strap sandal. Best for non-fussy feet.
- Bobeau Asymmetrical Faux Wrap Midi Skirt: A knitted striped midi with an asymmetrical wrap front is a nice way to change up the look from a regular tubular knitted midi. Alluring and more interesting.

- MARC BY MARC JACOBS 'Raver' Chronograph Bracelet Watch, 41mm: A black watch adds an instant hard edge to a look.
- MARC BY MARC JACOBS 'Blurred Dot' Midi Skirt: An A-line midi in a soft and pretty fabrication. Good with a fitted tucked top, and high-vamped heeled footwear. Low-vamped flat pointy toe footwear works well too.
- MARC BY MARC JACOBS Fold Front Skirt: A beautiful A-line for Team Tall. Very elegant with a welted short top or soft tucked blouse.
- MARC BY MARC JACOBS Stripe Crossover Top: Pouffy yet preppy and pretty. The front bust area sticks out because of the stitched down wrap detail so consider yourself warned. Not good on a short torso. Defines the waist in a flattering manner.

I recently bought the Halogen monochrome oblong scarf because it looks great with my new turquoise Furla satchel. It’s been years since I wore a scarf as a more decorative component in an outfit, so I’m looking forward to the change.
