Outfit idea for transitioning from winter into spring

So, I have been noticing more and more celebrities wearing the cropped pants with long coat look. I know, I know, old trend right?? Well, I like the way Solange Knowles and Monica (seen in the first two pictures below) upped the anty by wearing metallic heels with their black coats and fitted cropped jeans. I also love that this look can  be dressed up or down, and it can  be made work appropriate if you swap the jeans for cropped trousers. The cropped pants plus coat look will take you from winter into spring, because its easy to remove the coat if the weather becomes warmer throughout the day. Will you be wearing this look??
