Spring/Summer Shopping

A change is season is a perfect reason to go shopping, and there is nothing quite as satisfying as spring/summer shopping. So here are the essentials for you from your head to your toes. This is just a list, there will be more detailed posts with different options for each item.



1. Accessories
If you can't afford to add new pieces to your wardrobe, the next best alternative is accessories. If you can afford new pieces, accessories are the perfect compliment. Bright coloured patent accessories in the form of belts, earrings and bangles. Metalics have to be my favourite right now. Gold especially! Floppy hats and sunglasses are also staples.

2.Dresses
Spring and summer are the seasons to be feminine. Get yourself a light material white or pastel dress for those hot days and bright coloured sexy party dresses for those hotter nights.

3. You will need some sort of cropped pant. Depending on your height go with 3/4 length or capris or even shorts. Shorts are not for every one but if you can pull them off... do it! I’m loving the look of shorts with heels. Cute.

4.Swimwear.
It is always hard to find the right swimsuit. Different body types look best in different suits, but the look now is definetly cut-out one piece suits.

5. Shoes
Wedges were made for spring/summer fashions. For comfort flat shoes are key. Try some ballet flats or slip-ons depending on your personal style.

C) Sugar quilted cat $40.00 Store.alloy.com

5. Jackets.
For those times that it gets a little chilly, you'll need a great jacket. The motorcyle style jacket, the mandarin collar jackets and the cropped jackets are all hot looks. Otherwise the classic jeans jacket is a good alternative.
