Over the past few years, one of my top go-to closet staples for spring has been my green anorak jacket from J Crew. It was an investment purchase I made a while back, and I'm so happy with the wear I've gotten out of it. Like a good denim or leather jacket, this is a piece that stands the test of time and helps you style your way through the transition months when the weather is so schizophrenic (giving myself major props because I spelled that correctly the first time - hollaaa!).

I love to wear this jacket while traveling because it goes with such a wide variety of looks - I can pair it with a striped dress, a fun romper, or some heels and jeans for a fun urban look like I've featured in this post. Today I've paired with three spring trends that I happen to love right now: color blocked accessories, caged sandals, and distressed denim. These are all items you can mix and match with other pieces to create a lot of different looks, which is great when you want to streamline your wardrobe and get a lot of wear out of everything!

This coming weekend marks the start of Mizzou's spring break, which means Ryan will have a little time off that we can spend together. On the agenda: garage/estate sale-ing, hiking, and a big new project that I will tell you allllll about on Friday! Do you have any spring break plans? Tell me about them in the comments below, snap me (sweetcayenne), or tweet me a line about what you are doing (@sweetcayenne5)!
