Affordable fashion picks for unpredictable early spring weather

Puff Piece
TNA puffer jacket, $85, aritzia.com. Dress, $75, gapcanada.ca. Earrings, ilovebiko.com. Bag, bananarepublic.ca.
Outfit Total: $160
Stumped as to how to wear a puffer jacket without looking hefty? Choose a lightweight style with a diamond pattern; this kind of cross-stitching takes down much of the bulk.

There’s nothing more satisfying than ditching your winter coat for a fresh spring one. Enter the trench, the official topper for transitional seasons.

Practical it’s not, but the layering of eggshell, parchment and cream looks so appealing.

Come spring, make the swap to a lighter wash of denim. Pair the jeans with a feminine flouncy-sleeved top to accentuate the wash. Fashion Note: Creating rhythm in an outfit results in cohesion. Our model demonstrates this esthetic with fluid shapes on her earrings, sleeves and bag.
