As you probably read here, I really like spring. But for all its sunshine and jasminey scents, Spring is also the perfect excuse to invest in some new wardrobe pieces, to welcome back our friends colour and pattern, and maybe even try new things (like hats). So here are my suggestions on some springtime essentials.
Spring ‘aint Spring without frolicking around in a floral silk satin chiffon dress. Preferably one would be wearing kick ass sandals, and a cross-body bag to keep the hands free for fruity cocktails.

Spring is also the time one says goodbye to tights ( I wear them ALL winter pretty much). What better way to say good riddance to winter than getting the pins out. And what better way to get the pins out than short shorts. These have an elastic waist so they are good for BBQ’s too! Throw in a colourful top and some fun accessories, then add a nice sandal to dress it up a smidge.

But who am I kidding? I live in Melbourne so chances are it’s not always going to be a glorious 27 degree day. Because of this transeasonal pieces always help. A pair of loose pants, a nice lightweight printed scarf, and cream booties for when you need booties but want to leave the blackness of winter behind.

Since spring is the beginning of the “impromptu social outing” season, it always pays to have a lightweight jumper in ones bag, The fact that the sun is out will trick people into believing it is Summer, but come 7pm, there will be a chill in the air and a girl can end up stealing some poor mans jacket right off his back (or worst has to borrow her best friends favourite Year 7 hoodie). Also a good quality overnight bag is a great investment for weekends away. And just because I want to, I’m going to start trying out hats more!
