Spring Styling | How To Get Creative With Your Wardrobe

Let's face it, here in the UK over the past week we were spoilt rotten with the weather!  Sunshine, warmth and smiles all round.  And then it disappeared.  But hey, nothing stays the same forever, right?  Thankfully, it will no doubt return soon and see us all strip down once more to bask in the sun, but for the time being... we need to get creative.  Creative with the ways we embrace the season, creative with lifting our moods on cloudier days and above all else, creative with our wardrobes!  I've got so much love for transitional styling, because it allows us to mix seasonal pieces and get away with more unusual combinations.  Frilly dresses paired with biker boots, roll neck jumpers layered underneath linen pinafore dresses and my personal favourite, denim jackets paired with printed trousers and sandals.

Ah, denim jackets.  The saviours of Springtime wardrobes.  I never thought I'd be one to wear such a bold shade of pink, but the colour has absolutely grown on me over these past few weeks.  It's a major colour this season and sure, it's pretty easy to find right now as well.  Most collections can be found with at least a handful of pieces washed in the colour!  Like I mentioned earlier, a fave go-to of mine right now is pairing denim jackets with patterned trousers.  The trick is to pick one of them to be in a bright colour.  Bright jacket vs. dark printed trousers.  Colourful printed trousers vs. plain jacket.  You get the gist.  Another fabulous way of crossing over seasonal styling is to pair ruffled, ethereal dresses with biker boots or trainers, and fierce accessories.  The contrast can be pure magic.  Speaking of accessories, I've pretty much fallen in love with the minaudière trend; elaborate, flamboyant, luxurious and chic.  What's not to like?!

Another accessory I'm attached to right now is this Infinity Watch from Nordgreen, a new Scandinavian brand championing minimal design and pure functionality.  I chose a blush strap to help it become a versatile piece in my spring/summer wardrobe.  For once a brand has included many holes in the strap to accommodate varying wrist sizes - so definitely a brand to look at if you're also struggling to find well-fitting watches!  Plus, the icing on this blush-and-rose-gold cake is the inter-changeable strap design.  I also have a black leather strap ready and waiting for when I want to switch things up again.  Perfect!

So, remember I enjoyed afternoon tea with Pandora Jewellery last month at The Ritz?  Well, the bracelet shown in this post is the gorgeous gift that was nestled inside the secret gift bag!  The Moments Silver Sliding Bracelet has been paired with the Promise of Spring Charm.  A gorgeous duo that you'll no doubt see plenty more of within outfits here on the blog this season!  If you like the style but fancy doing a little more browsing first, be sure to take a peek at their other silver bracelets.

This really is a lovely time of year and even more so when it comes to our wardrobes.  Of course I'm excited for summer (hello to the other summer babies reading this!), but these temperamental months can be a fun opportunity to get creative with our wardrobes in the meantime.  I can't wait to read your thoughts on this look; are you a fan of patterned trousers?  How do you feel about pink denim - love, or hate?  Let me know in the comments below!
