A BRIGHT AND SUNNY OUTFIT

Yay!!! Spring will be officially here on Saturday, and I am celebrating by styling a bright and sunny outfit from Appleseed’s. Appleseed’s turned 75 years young this month, and I am helping them celebrate.
Earlier this month, I styled a navy and white outfit that was classic and modern looking. Navy and white are two of my favorite combinations, and this color-blocked sweater adds a pop of unexpected color with this gorgeous teal.
Can you see the seedstitch detail on this sweater? I love the texture! It’s comfortable yet stylish. I mentioned earlier how the green color-block design pops against the navy backdrop, but did you notice the white nautical stripes? This is a well-thought-out detail that draws attention upward to your face. This color-blocked pullover sweater is a relaxed fit and I love the longer length that hits me at hip level. I am wearing a large sweater, but I could have easily sized it down to a medium.
I love the look of the Dennisport stretch twill pants. These straight-leg pants are flattering for any body shape, especially for ladies who are pear-shaped or inverted triangle shapes. The leg opening is wider than skinny pants, which helps to create balance for the top and bottom.
I originally ordered a size 8 and a 10, but the 10 ended up fitting me perfectly. These have a 30″ inseam which is perfect to wear with my summer flats, sneakers, and heels.
I ended up wearing a white pair of Sperry Crest Vibe sneakers with this outfit, and I like the look. Sneakers, especially fashion sneakers, are a modern look at the moment. These sneakers are my favorite because they are easy to slip on, and I don’t have to worry about them coming untied.
These sneakers run a little large, so I sized down to an 8 1/2 instead of my normal size 9. They also come in several colors, including navy, black, gray, and there’s even a cute plaid pair.
Here in Virginia, our spring showers don’t wait for April. March weather brings showers my way, and I am always looking for ways to brighten my mood when the showers start. I use color to enhance my mood when the skies are gray and dreary, and you can’t get much sunnier than this London Fog rain trench.
I’ve never understood why some raincoats don’t have a hood. This trench has a removable hood which makes sense to me. I can wear it on sunny days without the hood when I am looking for wind protection.
Here is a better photo of the button detail, the large side slant pockets, the arm cuffs, and the storm flaps. You know that London Fog means quality, and this jacket is a great example of their workmanship.
The coat is fully lined and is machine washable. I like the long car coat length that hits below my hips. I know that some of you might find this yellow color too bright, but don’t worry! This jacket comes in several colors, including Hibiscus and Blue Bayou. You are going to have a hard time making up your mind which one to buy.

Love the jacket in all colors!! Sweater is really cute too!
Tania,
Beautiful sweater! 💕
The yellow jacket😊 is cute too, I steer away from the yellow clothing, I’m fair skin and blonde and it just seems to not compliment me.
Kim, I am fair-skinned and blonde also, but I still love the trench!
“I’ve never understood why some raincoats don’t have a hood.” Oh my goodness, I have wondered the same thing! Very cute, colorful outfit!
I always thought it was the craziest thing.
Love that sweater and the sunny yellow trench! So cute. I had never heard of Appleseed’s. Hmmm…another source for shopping. Uh oh! Lol!!
Nancy, I’ve bought several things from them and I’ve been happy with all of my items.
Love that pretty little spring trench coat. That color would sure be a mood booster on a dreary day!
Exactly, Joy! How fun is this coat???
Love the yellow jacket!
Thanks, I love it also.
Beautiful color combo on the sweater and looks pretty with the white pants!
Thanks, Sandra. Everyone can use some white pants.
I love the teal color on the sweater. I’m a Seattle Seahawks fan, and that would be nice to wear on game days to show support, instead of wearing a team t-shirt or jersey. Much more stylish. I like the bright yellow raincoat also. I just got my granddaughter a gorgeous London Fog rain jacket. Toddlers can be stylish also!!
This season’s hot color with practicality! Super cute!
Exactly, Melanie!!! You know that I wouldn’t miss a trick. Lol!
You are right, Janet! A sweater like this would look much nicer than a jersey.
Love that trench coat and color!
I loved the trench also, but I had a hard time picking out the color that I wanted. I finally decided that this bright yellow could be seen on the rainest day and fog wouldn’t faze it. Lol!
Beautiful sweater!
Thanks, Lisa!
Cute outfit but that trench coat, wow, I love it! Great pop of color on rainy days!
I know, Cara! That jacket is bound to lift your spirits.
Love the outfit and the colorful raincoat! A breath of sunshine for windy, wet weather.
It has rained here for days, so this coat has really came in handy.
Love the yellow coat. So pretty
I love the coat also!!!
Gorgeous color yellow! I love London Fog! Happy happy birthday Joe,….I believe today is pinch day?
Great outfit. Love the sweater.
Thanks, Fiona!!!
The outfit is pretty, but the coat is beautiful. Love the bright yellow. I have not seen London Fog in years, glad it is still around.
I love the coat also!!! I think that London Fog is a great company with quality products.
Love the outfit and that bright pop of yellow with the raincoat!!
I love the raincoat also. I figure that people can see me if it is raining hard or foggy. Lol!
Great outfit and love the sweater colors together. This is a timely post as it is raining here today and will be all week.
It has been raining here for days!!! I’ve used this trench over and over again. Lol!
This is such a great casual look..love it!
Yes! This is a great outfit that you can wear any day.
Love those colors together! They really pop with that beautiful jacket. FYI, maybe it’s just my phone, but your links to the sweater and pants take me to the jacket.
Jena, I am not sure why that would be. On mine, it takes me to a list of all of the products. Maybe you just need to scroll down since the jacket is listed first.
Such beautiful spring colors and looks great on you! So comfortable looking and a ready to take on the day type outfit.
I think that it is a great spring everyday outfit!
Love the color block sweather and white pants on you!! So flattering!! Oh, I wanted wish Joe a Happy Birthday!!
Thanks, Barbara. I love the entire outfit.
