This $65 Quilted Jacket Will Be the Star of My Spring Wardrobe

I'm so excited for spring that I'm trying to manifest warmer weather through my wardrobe. So far, it's safe to say that it's not working - it's currently snowing where I live in Minnesota, and the seven-day forecast looks seriously bleak. Nevertheless, I'm not-so-quietly building my closet up for less dire temperatures. Last week, I stumbled across the perfect pair of subtly distressed high-rise jeans. This week, I'm living for the Old Navy StretchTech Oversized Quilted Shacket ($65), my latest pre-spring purchase.

I bought the shacket in Terrestrial Green, resisting the urge to also scoop it up in the white Wish Bone color. I fell even more in love with the shacket's quilted texture IRL; it gives the casual coat a luxe look. My only complaint? Upon trying it on when it arrived, I realized that one thing's for sure: it lives up to its name of being very oversized. As someone who usually opts for more fitted silhouettes, it was a definite change from what I'm used to.

To be honest, the oversized look of this shacket is just a bit too oversized for me (it's giving "I-stole-my-boyfriend's-jacket" vibes), so I plan to swap my medium for a small the next time I'm at the Mall of America. Even so, I've been wearing it nonstop around my apartment: it's comfy and lightweight, and it dressed up my tank-top-and-leggings combo, making me look a little more put together on my Zoom meetings.

According to Old Navy, this quilted shacket is "a great transitional piece that carries you from winter to spring." I agree wholeheartedly. As I impatiently wait for warmer days, I can already picture myself throwing it on to run errands or for a walk in the park with friends. I don't think it will keep me particularly warm, per se, so it's definitely going to remain an around-the-house layer for me for the time being - but god, does that make me want spring even more.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

Candice Huffine: "Size Does Not Equal Health, and Weight Does Not Equal Worth"

Image Source: Luvlette Born in Washington DC and raised in a Maryland suburb, Candice Huffine did a little bit of everything when she was growing up, from being captain of the cheerleading squad to taking her turn as a pageant queen. "It was 'typical' in a Hallmark movie kind of way, I guess," Huffine tells POPSUGAR. "These details are important to mention because they did influence my life path. I willingly put myself on a stage at every turn - and not always kind ones - to do the things I loved or to follow a dream I had." Huffine, 39, signed her first modeling contract in 2000. She was "determined" to be a model, despite the fashion industry being notoriously discriminatory toward plus-size people. Knowing the odds were stacked against her propelled Huffine even further toward realizing her dream. "When I received a contract as a plus-size model, it unlocked a new mission in me: to not pursue modeling just for myself, but to push har...
