Chocolate Suede Jacket and Powder Pink for Spring.

Powder pink is huge for spring– here’s how to wear it now.

Dressing for the time in between winter and spring can be tricky. (This is especially true for the Midwest, when you often get both seasons in a single day.) As much as I’m ready for skirts and sandals, I have to anchor things with some warmth. Today I’m walking that seasonal line with a powder pink sweater under a chocolate brown jacket for the March and April edition of KC Homes & Style.

Powder pink was all over the spring runways. Not exactly groundbreaking to have a pastel in the spring forecast, but this feels fresh after a winter of neutrals. This sweater from Banana Republic is a lightweight piece that will wear well into May and June. I topped it with a vintage suede jacket (a secondhand score, but this version here and here are solid options). I love that chocolate brown against the baby pink; it’s a nice blend of traditional fall and spring.

If you’re going to try a spring trouser trend, give cargo pants a shot. (Yes, they’re back!) The updated versions are fitted through the hip and seat, which gives you a nice shape before the leg widens out. Last touch: a pair of Adidas sneakers. These add in more of that powder pink while also introducing a fun vibrant red for an unexpected punch.

Is it spring where you are? We’ve had quite a few warm days here in KC, but then immediately after a cold front will blow in and bring crashing temps (and sometimes even snow). It’s still mid-March, but I’m ready for a fresh new season! I’m also excited to get out in the gardens and tidy them up, and break out the pots for spring planting. One of my favorite times of the year!
