PICK & MIX YOUR OCCASSION-WEAR
With spring-time sassin’ in full swing, we’re all looking ahead to those long-awaited Garden and Barbecue Parties, Weddings, Days at the Races and any other Special Occasion events we can dress up for. Of-course there’s always the dreaded issue of what the hell am I going to wear?
I like to invest in pieces I can Pick n’ Mix for various events throughout Summer without having to commit to just one colour theme, but keeping it semi-neutral always helps. I also like to wear trousers for special Spring / Summer occasions, but you can always swap them for a gorgeous midi skirt and build your outfit from there on. If you know me I’m all about comfort, especially when it comes to occasion-wear. Last thing you want to worry about is your beautiful clothes being too tight or tuggy on the day. These black smart trousers from Wallis are ideal for any occasion and no need to worry about “Marylin Monroe moments” on windy days either. Yes, you can wear these to a wedding. Just glam them up with some fun heels, frilly top and pretty accessories.
CHOOSE ONE STATEMENT PIECE
Choosing one statement piece that will transform any outfit is definitely key to Spring Summer special occasion dressing. This embellished jacket (also from Wallis) will do all the talking for you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re wearing a jumpsuit, trousers or a dress under it – you’re instantly 90% sorted with your outfit. Great way to glam up a simple “jeans and tee” outfit for a more laid-back day-time event. Can you see it working?
Mixing and Matching is a great option for those who have a number of occasions coming up and don’t like to recycle an outfit. Investing in a couple of summery tops, skirts and trousers in various colours and styles (plenty here) but along the same colour scheme means you’ll have plenty of options on hand the next time an invite arrives unexpectedly.
Same goes for heels and clutch bags and they’re even more versatile since you can Pick & Mix them all Summer. Wallis have so much lovely choices and with prices starting from as low as £10.50 for your accessories, you’ll be able to help your friends with their “style emergencies” too. I got this gorgeous Half Circle clutch in both black and oyster colours and who would blame me? They’re only £14 each.
