Time for colour

Find the two brightest colours in your wardrobe and wear them together! For day time, pair with a neutral pair of sandals and accessorise with a complimentary but simple necklace and bracelet. Add a fedora for a more relaxed summer feel. I'm loving hats this summer, they are stylish and practical! If your day out continues into night, lose the fedora, slip into a pair of sexy bright heals, throw on a black blazer and you're ready to go! Outside your comfort zone? Go bold with accessories and replace the bright pants with jeans.

A cold start to spring

A cold start to spring inspired me to try layering with a dress. If you have loose fitting sleeveless dresses in your wardrobe make them work for colder days. I wore a black jersey top and grey printed vest under my dress and topped it off with a fun print scarf. I kept my legs warm with woolen grey stockings (matching the vest) and paired it with cute red pumps for a colour pop. Layer subtle colors with one bright or patterned piece at a time to avoid your items competing with each other!

Go androgynous

Mix colors and add a patterned piece to rev up an androgynous look. Stick to two colors and one pattern. Keep shirts neutral with white, black or nude shades and pair with cute pumps for day time. For evenings out, pair with heels, bold jewelry and make-up. Have fun with this look, it's comfortable, flexible and easy to put together!

Dresses in the outdoors

Going on an "outdoorsy" road trip? Pack a dress! I spent some time in the Kruger National Park and found wearing a dress cool and comfortable in the African sun! It's a nice change from the usual jeans and shorts we wear on these trips and it's easy to pack. Stick to easy fabrics like cotton and steer clear from easily creased fabrics like linen, unless you have time and space for an iron! However, if you have trail walks and hikes planned, stick to shorts!
