We are officially in that confusing time of year. The calendar says winter, but fashion insiders (and our shopping carts) are already screaming spring.

If you are tired of heavy wool and dark greys, it’s time for a palette cleanser. This week, we are spotlighting the "Vintage Romance" trend—think secret gardens, afternoon tea in Paris, and whimsical details. We’ve spotted two standout pieces from ELFSACK clothing that prove you don't need to wait for April to start blooming.

1. The "Hidden Cat" French Blouse

At first glance, the French V-Neck Printed Lace Shirt looks like a classic vintage find with romantic ruffles. But look closer. Hidden amongst the floral patterns are whimsical white cats.

This isn't just a shirt; it’s a conversation starter. The dramatic bell sleeves and delicate lace trim give it a unique "Le Marais vintage market" vibe. Styling tip: It’s perfect for layering under a chunky cardigan now, or tucking into high-waisted jeans when the sun finally comes out.

2. Utility, But Make It Coquette

The cargo trend is usually tough and rugged, but designers are rewriting the rules this season. Enter the Lace Bow Print Jacket.

This piece takes the functional silhouette of a utility jacket (hello, pockets!) and softens it with a dreamy lace overlay and pink florals. It offers the perfect balance of sweet and structured. With drawstring details to cinch the waist, it adds a playful, feminine touch to a practical outerwear piece.
