Spring Essentials 2011: what I’ll be wearing (on a budget!)

September 1, 2011

It’s the first day of spring! YAY!! I couldn’t be happier. If I have to wear another pair of opaque tights, I think I’ll go nuts. Well not really, but you know what I mean. It’s time to throw off your greys and woolens and embrace bright colours, shorts and sandals! In celebration of spring, I thought I would give you the lowdown on what I will be buying and adding to my collection for this season.

1. A bright dress
Wear with sandals and a denim jacket or cute colourful cardi during the day, then throw on the heels and blazer for night.

2. A tribal or bohemian print dress.
Same as above, but works back perfectly with tribal sandals.

3. A cropped sleeve blazer.
My favourite pairing is with some paperbag shorts and a simple white v neck tee.

4. Paperbag shorts.
One of my favourite day time looks. Or pair with a dressy sheer top and ankle boots or heels for night. I have a black pair which is so versatile, but why not try a punchy purple or pink for spring?

5. Men style shirt.
Versatile and perfect with jeans, shorts or skirts.

6. Wooden heel platform shoes.
These go with absolutely everything. Well maybe not everything but they will team with bright and neutral dresses, jeans and shorts. (Yes, I am still in love with the 70s.)
7. Leather t-bar or huarache sandals.
These remind me of my childhood, they were really big in the 80s. But, they’re back and they are ever so comfortable! So get yourself a pair, pronto!
There’s so much more, and here is a list of other fun things I will be kicking around in this season:
  • Short playsuit
  • Skinny jeans
  • Sheer colourful crop tops
  • Denim jacket
  • Flatform sandals
  • 70s wedges
  • Maxi dresses
  • Sheer maxi skirt
  • Vintage sunglasses
  • Floppy hat
  • Straw fedora
  • Satchel bag
  • Bright blazer
What will you be buying this season?
