Look what I wear in crazy Spring weather!

in Tips on 19/10/16

This Spring weather is so unpredictable these days. Warm one minute, freezing the next. It has me standing at my wardrobe each morning wondering what to wear.

So, today I want to share with you my go to items when it’s four seasons in one day.

Prefer to watch click here to see my live video where I share my wardrobe tips. 

My go to items for uncertain Spring weather:

#1 Knits – light weight knits, cardis and mesh tops. I love light knits in Spring colours like bright and bold or pastels so I don’t feel drab on a grey Spring days. Mesh knits are great with singlets underneath so you can just take off when the weather warms. Knits of different sleeve lengths keep it versatile.

#2 Scarves – the light weight kind. Light and flowy adding freshness. A great way to add a pop of colour and warmth to your outfit. Go for lightweight cotton or silk and play around with patterns and floral.

#3 Shirts – the button-up variety. A white shirt over a tank and jeans is a classic look that never dates. Keep a few different colours and styles of button-up shirts in your wardrobe as they look great over a tee or singlet with a statement necklace or scarf – then take the shirt off when it’s hot.

#4 Vests – denim or lightweight. Great way to add texture and difference to an outfit. Good for adding warmth without the bulkiness of wearing a jacket.

It can be tricky finding these items at this time of year when the shops are full of summer clothes. Your best bet is to head to your local op shop (or join us on our next shopping tour) or raid your best friend’s wardrobe.

Have a friend you know would love these Spring fashion wardrobe tips? Forward them this newsletter so they too can see how simple and easy dressing for unpredictable Spring weather can be.

Yours in all things preloved,
