Style Strategy on LTK

When the Jacket is the Outfit: Tis the season for blazers, jackets and outerwear taking center stage! The bad news? It’s cold. The good news? You really only need to focus on one main aspect of your look: the final layer! You don’t need a bright color or something obnoxious; sometimes the most tailored and understated pieces make the most impact. Choose something that fits your personal style, whether that’s a cropped plaid jacket or a textured fur piece. Add in denim, leather or anything bottom that fits the weather and finish with a fun accessory like a metallic or suede bag. LTKPetite LTKootd LTKSeasonal

White denim can be worn year round, but offer a seasonal closet cleanse for Spring and Summer. Pair with a leather jacket and pointed toe boots for an edgy evening look or with a classic crewneck and trench for everyday. Linking my favorites you will wear on repeat! 🤍

Whether you are shopping your closet this Spring and want to freshen up your look or are a sucker for all things shiny, the easiest (and perhaps most fun?!) way to accomplish this is by adding jewelry!
Dress up a classic linen dress or even jeans and a tee with layered tassels, shells, enamel and beads. Linking my current favorites at all price points 🐚🌸📿

Happy Spring, stylish friends!
While I lean towards a more neutral wardrobe for everyday, I do like to pull out a few prints here and there to mix it up and keep my style fresh. Balance your feminine florals with structural bags like top handles and classic pointed toe pumps. Linking a few additional petal pieces I am loving for Spring 🌷🌸🪻

Spring Forward 💙💛🩵
With Spring being a few weeks away, slowly adding in pops of color into our wardrobes gives us a refreshed feeling and makes getting dressed for a new season exciting!
Blue is having a big moment for Spring; everything from soft pale blues to bold cobalts. Ground the look with black, white or navy or even pair with other primary colors like red and yellow. Linking my current favorite blue pieces for everyday to special events.

We all look forward to a Spring reset and a chance to refresh our closets for a new season! This Spring brings a soft, relaxed elegance with classic foundational pieces like trench coats, denim jackets and supple leather, but with a little more personality for everyday wear with the additions of fringe details, scarf layering and unique brooches and belts. These are the key investment pieces I’m wearing for the new season ahead:
✔️ Trench coats: Keep it classic or opt for one with fringe or a cropped silhouette
✔️ Structured denim jackets: I love a longer milatary style belted where the jacket is the outfit
✔️ Black leather jackets: the more detail, the better: funnel neck, gold buttons, exaggerated sleeves, etc.
✔️ Belts: snake print, studs, unique buckles; anything that makes a statement
✔️ Scarves: the ultimate layering piece this Spring
✔️ Butter yellow: this color trend is still going strong! Pair with black, neutrals or even burgundy
✔️ Denim accessories: Bags and shoes that have actual wearability
✔️ Oversized sunglasses: the bolder, the better!
✔️ Brooches: add your own personality to any jacket, dress or blouse

Styling Spring Denim! 👖
The classics still reign! Think classic straight-leg and tailored (non-distressed) styles in a variety of washes including dark, medium and light. Barrel and novelty denim are fun ways to add interest to your looks. An ecru pair adds contrast to black, gray and even burgundy. Linking my current favorites to wear now into warmer months.

Current wardrobe obsessions: buttery leather jackets, ladylike tie neck blouses, structured denim jackets (even better belted!), any sort of trench, ecru denim, military inspired blazers and pops of classic patterns like stripes and polka dots.
So many looks can be put together with this neutral color palette, which makes getting dressed not only easy, but actually fun! 🖤🤍🤎

#LTKootd #LTKdayinmylife #LTKSeasonal

Small styling tweaks can make a big impact! I love wearing layered bracelets and bangles on the outside of a blouse or even jacket!

Classic, cropped, khaki or colorful: the addition of a trench is an effortless way to transition into Spring!

Let’s be honest, we barely have time to pick out an outfit in the morning, let alone figure out how to incorporate this scarf trend!
Don’t worry! The idea behind the scarf is to look like you just “threw it on” (even if you didn’t)!
Showing you three ways to style a scarf with a leather jacket and cashmere sweater, but you can easily swap out the jacket for a blazer or trench! I just happen to like this Camilla floral print scarf balanced with a structured leather jacket.
▪️Around the neck: the most obvious and easiest to pull off! Depending on the length of the scarf, you can loop it twice and tie or just once in the back. Honestly, the less symmetrical the better!
▪️Off the shoulder: I love this for a lunch/dinner or event. It’s realistically difficult to keep in place for everyday movement, but when intentionally worn for a “look”, it makes a statement.
▪️Around the waist: this trend started last summer and is sti going strong! It adds a layer and interest to any outfit! Roll the scarf so it has less fabric and wears more like a longer belt than a skirt (we don’t want that!).
Finish off your look with an oversized pair of aviators! 😎

Five simple ways to elevate your Winter wardrobe ❄️🧣👜
Of course, it’s cold and getting dressed is not exactly motivating, but let’s not let that affect our everyday style! The key to looking chic in the snow is adding intentional details to your foundational pieces:
⚫️ That slouchy suede bag that completes a monochromatic look
⚫️ Layering a sweater over a leather jacket
⚫️ Adding a brooch to a classic plaid blazer
⚫️ Investing in oversized aviator sunglasses (even if the sun is non-existent)
⚫️ Incorporating pattern play with a poo of animal print

Even better, you most likely have a few of these in your closet now! If not, check out the links on

Slate with a touch of shine ✨
It’s easy to blame the winter weather for a boring outfit, but this is where fun accessories come in! I love a classic tailored piece like a blazer or structured knit elevated with texture like tweed or shearling and a touch of metallic. Finish off the look with a brooch or any jewelry piece that personalizes your look.

There’s a reason the black leather jacket, dark wash denim and black pointed toe boot is still relevant ten years later; it’c chic and timeless! The slouchy bag also had its moment in 2016, but the secret to updating this look is to add a modern slouchy accessory. Linking these pieces and bag options to make this look fresh in 2026!
