How to Update a Spring Jacket With Pretty Lining

Although New York’s spring thaw is underway, there’s a lingering chill that requires something to bridge the gap between turtleneck sweaters and crop tops. One could easily join downtown legions with a mid-weight army jacket, but the mood of the season — handbags included — makes me want something more ladylike. This is what I had in mind when I rescued a crumpled black cashmere jacket from the bottom of my closet. The jacket fit was the right cut, but its lining — plain black silk — was tattered. I’d been dying to integrate some of Dolce and Gabbana’s seasonal Sicilian spirit into my wardrobe, but am not exactly on a budget for that. So a fresh printed lining — and some inspired buttons — got me there much more affordably.

Here's how you can take a similarly tired topper and freshen it up, in five easy steps.
