Stepping into Spring OOTD - Olive Green Coat and Burgundy Knit Sweater

      It's now April and it's finally starting to feel a little like spring here in NYC. It's been a very long and cold winter and everyone has long grown tired of the cold, wondering what's taking spring so long to get here. Spring officially started near the end of March but it's still a chilly spring that requires a coat of some sort (or maybe that's just me, someone who gets cold really easily).
      Simple and comfy, as well as staying warm is always important to me, which is why on this casual day out, I opted for a versatile coat with a loose, knit sweater and comfortable, stretchy black pants that feel like jeggings. The jacket is an olive green color by Miss Sixty and it essentially goes well with anything. What I like most about it is the big pockets! I can put my phone in there without fear of it slipping out and they keep my hands toasty warm. There is also an elastic inside that you can cinch on both sides so that you can adjust according to your waist.
      I really like the color of my sweater which is what drew me in at the store, along with the loose fit of it. I've really developed a liking to looser fit clothing pieces and am still on the lookout for such pieces. Since the sweater is a waffle-knit type of sweater, I have to layer a tank underneath. Also, an extra piece of clothing can provide a little extra warmth.
      With the transition into spring, it is now weather appropriate to break out the flats instead of the boots all the time and worrying about freezing our feet off. I simply paired a plain pair of flats from Aldo (a store that has affordable shoes!) to finish off the outfit.
      Like in my last OOTD post, this one includes my Longchamp bag as well. I did say I used this bag pretty much all the time! The outfit is very simple but I thought it'd be nice to share anyway, especially since it's been quite a long time since I first and last did an OOTD.
