Slim Line Soft Jacket (Oasis, $120)
I am currently on the hunt for a hot pink jacket for spring. Many will don the pastel colors of the season, of the runway, but I will not. I am too bold for the muted shades of spring, so I will wear a jacket so bright, I’ll need to wear shades.
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!
And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
Speaking of hot pink, I found this chiffon maxi skirt on pinterest..

H&M has a great boyfriend blazer in hot pink for $25!
Belle, I actually have a hot pink blazer from H&M like five years ago. It's a very flattering cut and I love it. But I'm never quite sure if I'm wearing it right. Please advise! How would you wear it? It's very structured, so not slouchy like the one in the photo. It's more like this: https://www.hm.com/us/product/98191?article=98191-A
Check back at 1pm for a couple of ideas.

great jacket. i've nevr been one for pastels so this is definitely right up my alley!
Renee et al. If you've located a similar jacket, would you mind posting the link?
heather, esq., et al.–i'm in love with the oasis version's style and fabric… but for my pocketbook's sake… i may purchase this one instead. https://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12149165&cm_mmc=PJ-_-20648-_-339976784-_-ADZCHIC. the oasis version also hangs pretty low on the model, and since i'm super short, i may not be able to shorten it successfully with its lapel length.
Amen, sister!
Forever 21 in Penn Quarter has a few different versions (cropped & boyfriend cuts) of the hot pink blazer right now. All around $30.
