One of my favorite wardrobe pieces for spring is the trench coat. I find it really feminine, stylish, while it’s completely adaptable and can be worn every season. But most of all, I love a good trench coat because it is also ideal for transitioning to spring and fall. I even wear it as a dress. This specific green trench coat (also worn here) is custom made but I have linked a few similar options below for you to choose from.
On another note, I am really crushing on these Miu Miu ballerinas. I wear them for months now and can’t get enough of how comfortable and stylish they are. I think it is a great option for a flat shoe, don’t you think? These ones are the winter version, with shearling lining. The specific ones are coming without ribbons, but since I indulged to the pink ones too (guilty!), I use the extra pair of ribbons that are included in the box, on my black ones. 🙂
I wore this look to go to a few showrooms during a fashion week day, but due to heavy rain I couldn’t take photos of it. An umbrella and few more layers where involved that day though, it was freezing cold! How do you like it?
What about you? Do you like wearing trench coats? And what’s your favorite piece to transition to spring?
PS: If you have any topic in mind that you want to read on StellaAsteria.com, please feel free to let me know and I will write about it.

The trench coat is definitely one of my favorite pieces too, especially in this season! The green version is absolutely amazing and I love that jacquard print on it. As always, your whole styling is so on point!

So glad you like it Carmen! Yes trench coat is the best for spring right? Thanks for stopping by and happy hump day! 😉
Well, my dear Stella. I, too have a trench. Had it for years, and is a trusty old friend. How interesting that you wear yours as a dress.
And those ballerina’s look soo comfy, and love what you have done with the laces. Oh, you really are a trend setter. And we are inspired to follow. Most of all I love that white top with the tiered sleeves. Soo pretty.
Wednesday hugs, Jo

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and words my dear Jo! I feel you, a good trench coat can go a long way right? That top is indeed so cute, I am obsessed with statement sleeves, ruffles etc right now! Wednesday hugs from me too 🙂
You look awsome! I love the flats (I wouldn´t buy the oroginal ones, but I rather buy the ones from Shein). I like the blouse so much! The kimono is great. I don´t have one right now, but I´m thinking about a shorter design with a belt :-*

Hi Melanie! Yes you can find many more affordable options for these ballerinas, Zara had a great one last season too! x
Well, you’ve just solved what I don’t like about trench coats, and that is the colour! I’m so fair that the pale khaki-grey colour washes out my skin and hair (not so chic!). But a bright colour, like this emerald green you are wearing, THAT I can do. I’m going to peruse your options above and see what I can find.
As always, the photos are simply breathtaking. You look amazing, the shoes are SO stylish (especially so for flats) and Paris is looking lovely and dreamy in these shots. Hope you’re having a brilliant week. xxx

Bonjour Lisa! I am glad I sold this for you! 😉 To tell you the truth I still don’t have any trench coat in basic color, all are like a it bold like this green trench coat. Hope you find the perfect one! I am sure a bold green or blue would suit you perfectly, besides you know better than anyone else how to make statements with colors! Have a great rest of the week and thanks for stopping by my dear! xo
Knowing that you have not quite aclimatized to the climate here. I’m wondering if you have read about America. I don’t know about Paris, but here we get American snow a few days later. So my Dear, Best be prepared. Lots of layers and furry boots etc.
Saying that. I’m not even prepared for this evening. I’m going to an Italian wine and food tasting event, and I don’t know what to wear. Something nice and casual probably.
Hugs, Jo x
Author
Oh really? Here the weather is getting better, but you are right. With March, you never know right? Have a great time at the Italian wine and food tasting event my dear! Sounds so delicious! 🙂 xo
Love this outfit babe! You know I love that green jacket and I’m crushing on the Miu Miu shoes as much as you do! How stylish aren’t they? And love that you added the ribbon to these shoes too, the ballerina vibe is just so good. And can’t wait and see how you’ll style the pink ones too! Hope you’re having a darling week babe! Xx

Thank you my dear! So glad you like my look! Yes these Miu Miu ballerinas are such a crush right? And super comfortable! I was going for the pink ones from the beginning but were out of stock when I went at the store (story of my life), but a couple of months ago they were back in stock! 🙂 Have a great rest of the week hun!
That trench is such an amazing piece Stella, I love the print and colour as it totally stands out and makes combination possibilities endless.

So glad you like it darling! x
OMG Stella, I didn’t even know they came with warm lining for the colder months! That’s such a good idea. I wish more companies made warm, comfy flats that are also stylish. I can relate to the tough weather conditions that hinder photos. We got hit with a blizzard yesterday, so the streets are icy once again.
I did get a spring outfit recently which includes a white duster coat that I’m excited to wear. It’s one of the transition items I’m looking forward to wearing soon.
I hope Paris fashion week treated you well this season!!

Glad you like it Tanya
What an original trench coat Stella, I couldn’t tell it was a trench until I clicked on Read more 😉 The perfect combination of colours and the backdrop is simply magical! You look stunning ♥
I am not too sure about those ballerinas, but you sure are rocking them!
My favourite transition pieces are the jackets too, not necessarily a trench coat (I actually don’t own any!), but simply wearing a denim jacket or a light blazer feels like freedom after months of layering like an onion 🙂
Lots of love from England, dear

I am totally feeling you Saida, a light outerwear after a heavy winter of coats and tones of layers is so refreshing right? Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend! xoxo
Love that green color (as you said: pantone color of the year, yay)!! And those ballerina’s are oh-so-cute!!! Really love your photos from Paris, you are such a chic Parisienne with a unique style! Keep up the good work babe! Big Xx from San Fran, Susanne – http://bagatyou.com

So glad you like them Tania! Yes that trench coat has such an unusual color comparing to those we see more often in beige tones. I really like it 🙂 Happy Friday!
Love that unique trench Stella! I love trench coats. It’s definitely one of the best piece to have for spring and fall. A good transition piece is also the denim jacket and the military jacket. They are timeless and pretty cool. Congratulations dear on being engaged and getting married! I am sure you will be a gorgeous bride. I can’t wait to see some pics of the event.
Lots of love,

Thank you so much my dear Aurelie! Yes the denim jacket is actually the best, I wish I could wear it all year round! And the military jacket too is such a statement! Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by! xo
Hi Stella, I hope you’re well! I’m so sorry for being a bit inactive…things are getting quite busy here! I had my doctor’s appointment this morning and my midwife said the baby can come at anytime! EEEEK! We’re getting so excited 😀 But boy oh boy, you look amazingly beautiful! That trench is such a beautiful colour! I love how you paired it with the Miu Miu ballet flats! I have a look-a-like one from Zara, but those are much cheaper I guess :p Love the pictures, always! Wish I could take such photos here as well! xo, Vivian

You don’t have to be sorry at all hun! Can’t wait to hear the great news! I am so happy for you darling! By the way the look-a-like ballerinas from are are the best ones I have seen in this style, and a great quality. A friend of mine has them and they are indeed much cheaper!
Wishing you an amazing weekend, and all the best for the arrival of your baby! Go check your insta story now to see if you have news hihi! Lots of love xo
Yes another fabulous Spring trend, the statement coat! I love the pop of green and the pattern makes it truly a standout piece! And paired with ballerina flats this look is street style chic from head to toe 🙂 xo~ Lena

So glad you like it my dear Lena! I love this Emerald trench coat, it reminds me of a very special person in my life! <3 Happy weekend!
Ah that trench coat is amazing, you know I love green. It’s such an underestimated color.
Green looks beautiful on you. I feel like Paris is coming into life. Has spring already sprung there?
Can’t wait to see Paris in spring through your photography guys.

Ah my dear Tatjana! Yes Paris has already started to bloom so beautifully! Eiffel Tower is now surrounded by pink cherry trees and the Garden of Palais Royal just started to get its colors back! It’s mesmerising! I wish you could come again in spring and see how beautiful it is! I am so sad we will have to leave for work for the summer months.. But I promise to show you as much of Paris as possible by then! Much love! xoxo
What a gorgeous bottle green colour! This beautiful trench coat really suits you nicely, the colour is just gorgeous o you.
The ballerina shoes are gorgeous, they have a bit of a rock n’ roll edge to them which adds a nice quirky twist to your outfit.
The perfect outfit to stroll around in Paris! So chic.
A great post stella 🙂

Thank you my dear Laura, so glad you like it! I love the ‘bottle green’ description for this color, it’s so spot on!! 😀 Thanks for stopping by and have a great week! xo
Living in LA I don’t actually own a trench coat because the weather (for me) says it’s unnecessary. But when I read a post like this and I see how gorgeous you look I feel like it’s tad of a crummy thing. I usually think of the long beige coats but the custom one you have here is so pretty! Maybe I should move just to get to wear something as gorgeous as this!
And in regards to something I’d love to see you talk about how to model in photos. I’m actually asking from personal experience, eeep!!!! You know I post about food but now I want to make my page and blog a bit more personal and include the girl behind the camera. But do you have any tips on how to model for photos when you’re shy and haven’t model for photos before?
Author
Ah I am sure this green would look great on you! But totally getting you about the weather, maybe a piece like this is not so necessary in LA right? And what a great blog post idea my dear! I am really going to write it! I noticed last weekend how dorky I looked in the first photos here on the blog and how different and more natural I look now. It’s totally a thing of experience, and finding your good angles etc but so many more things too! I will write a post about that and also one for decluttering your closet and upgrading your wardrobe, both dedicated to you! 😀 Thanks so much for the inspiration! xoxoxo
