Even if spring still feels a million miles away, warmer days are definitely on the horizon. And so, we've already been switching our closets over to give easy access to pieces that play nice with this unpredictable in-between season. But if you're a little dubious as to how to gradually lighten your winter look then take a tip from this well-heeled local. Her lightweight trousers, lace blouse, and long summery cardigan definitely have sunshine in mind, but her big, cozy scarf and fur-trimmed tweed jacket are plenty to keep her warm. The burgundy satchel and vintage men's hat are the perfect finishing tools, and could take any of us right through to next season.
