Season change style hacks

Do you get to this time of year and look at your wardrobe and think OMG a wardrobe of clothes but nothing to wear.

You are not alone in this.  

With a return to routine - lets hope it’s a new and inspired one.  The clothes you lived in all summer suddenly don’t feel quite right.  I don’t know about you but I am never ready to snap into fall or winter looks.  Sweat my calves off in boots?  No thank you.   As for a coat I know I will be wearing it until April at least so what’s the hurry.  I like to keep the summer vibe alive for as long as a can.  Along with this the weather is so unpredicatable as the seasons change.  One minute it is drizzly and rainy the next bright sunshine.  

This is where layers and wardrobe essentials come into their own.  No need to hit the shops just yet - unless in the throws of getting organized you need to sort your wardrobe.  Check out my 5 step style update  

Here are some ideas to keep your favorites going - at least until the clocks change.

These pieces are all interchangeable - creating a capsule to help you power through your day.

Using your wardrobe essentials

Shirt dress 

Maxi dress

Wrap dress

Jeans and or denim shorts

A chunky knit 

Blazer

Trainers 

Flip flops

Create these looks - one for everyday of the week and occasion 

Make your maxi go further team  Ausus with Balmain blazer and McQueen trainers

Get more out of your shorts with a wrap style neem, flip flops with socks.

(my top tip for denim shorts get a man in your life’s old pair or go the charity shop then get cutting)

 Treat the shirt dress as a shirt with a knit (ganni) and jeans (your favourites) McQueen trainers.

Love a colourful chunky knit (Cara and the sky) keeps the short and flip flop vibe going that little longer

Upgrade the classic blazer - balmain and jean look with a shirt dress style Sara and western boots (Oliver Bonas)

Get more out of strappy tops and add colour with a wrap - style neem

Do a remix, switch a maxi (ausus) for a shirt dress (Sara) or the other way around with your favourite blazer and chunky knit.

Gone are the days of having nothing to wear!
