Three Ways to Wear a Denim Jacket This Spring

I always look forward to Claire from Fashion+Feathers' fun fashion posts! Her outfits are both beautiful and practical. I am so excited to have her on the blog today sharing three ways to wear a denim jacket this spring! Take it away, Claire!


What up people?! I'm Claire and I blog over at Fashion + Feathers. While Olya is off gallivanting in California {that's my dream trip, by the way} I thought it would be fun to say hello! My go-to blogging topic is fashion {obvious, right?} but I also like to throw an easy recipe in the rotation or an occasional DIY project.

I recently opened an Etsy shop {The Studio} where I sell some gold foil prints, a graphic tee and a phone case. You should check that out.

My favorite thing that I blog is the two ways to wear series. Because if it doesn't serve multiple functions in my closet, it probably isn't in there. Today, I'm doing you one better - here's three ways to wear the denim jacket this Spring!

Around this time last year, my friend Katrina was wearing her denim jacket all the time so I decided I needed one, too. You know, one of those impromptu purchases and I had to have the jacket that night. So I found it at JC Penney's for $50. Gulp. For a teacher and a self-proclaimed deal finder, that's a lot of money. I stood in the store and thought of so many different outfits I could wear it with. That, and the fact that I loved the wash - not too light, not too dark.

So I grabbed it - not sure whether to feel guilty or excited. When the cashier scanned it, it came up 50% off. #score

But I had no idea I would wear it as much as I do. And for Spring? It's absolutely perfect because you can literally throw it on over whatever you want! Here are some of my favorite looks.

I loved wearing this romper last summer and you'll find me throwing it on all the time, this summer too! {Side note, it is not warm enough for this outfit in North Carolina yet. But if we're talking Spring, I knew I had to bring at least one pair of shorts into the look. You're welcome for freezing my butt off!}

I'm such a big fan of white denim with basically anything. It's the perfect fresh look for Spring and I love pairing the denim jacket with it.

This maxi skirt is technically a halter-top maxi dress - but I like to put a black shirt over it so I can wear it to work and fun places like that. I'm seriously obsessed with the large print on this skirt. Well, that and I basically only wear neutrals.

The moral of this story is, even if the jacket had been $50, it would have been worth it. I wear it to work, to church, out with friends, when I run errands. I wear it in all seasons and with all types of clothes. In other words, what did I wear before I had this thing? #noidea
