Bye Bye Winter, Hello Spring!

A change of season can be all too confusing for your wardrobe, especially when you're going from dreary Winter to chilled out Spring. Make this daunting period a relaxed, budget friendly one by making subtle changes in your day-to-day ensembles. Simple styling and bright colours inspired by the Middle East.

This season expect bright shades of fushia, burnt orange and electric blues. Stay away from wearing a single colour all at once -you do not want to be mistaken for a tanned out Snookie.


The fun part about this season's colours is that you can actually play around with them. Inspire. Dress for your mood. Keep it simple.


Colour blocking is hot hot hot this season - pair a bright honeysuckle mini with a beeswax ruffled top.

This keeps the ensemble in the "I am cool, confident and composed" realm, and stops it from moving into the "I am a confused fruit salad' sphere. Ruffles are very IN at the moment.

Since it is almost Spring, I suggest whipping out the florals. Nothing seems fresher or crisper than a floral inspired dress.    
To keep this trendy, try a floral jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are very IN this season - perfect for those "it's not hot, and not cold" days. Accesorise it with a waist belt, to keep the silhouette loose, but still moderately fitted.
Exotic colours inspired by the mystery of the Middle East are very HOT right now. Fashionistas all over are experimenting with paisley Maxi dresses that seem to float with ease, and off-the-shoulder tops. Compliment your daily wear with an Obi belt, which is an easy way to ease into the next season's trends without breaking the bank.
