For many, school holidays means making the most of your days with your little ones… picnics, parks, coffee dates, walks, movies, shopping days or even bringing them along as you step out to do the groceries.
Whilst the mornings can get away from you, there are three things to do to ensure you step out in style no matter how long you have to get ready (these tips are also great once the kids are back at school!).
- Be Prepared and pull out your clothes the night before. This allows you to style up an outfit instead of rushing out the door and throwing “whatever” on.
- Mix It Up and try a colour, print or shape that you are drawn to, but wouldn’t normally wear. This helps to break the cycle of feeling like you are wearing the same thing everyday.
- Start With Your Feet and determine what kind of shoes you need for the day. Shoes can make or break an outfit and if you are running around in a park all day, wearing nice beige loafers may not be the best option. When we start styling from our feet up it means we can adapt the outfit to ensure it is practical, comfy and stylish.
Often our wardrobes can feel stale and repetitive when we wear something similar day in, day out. Below we have a few tips/styling ideas on ways to give your wardrobe a “pop” and “refresh”!
- Instead of a denim jacket, try a blazer with jeans for a casual chic look
- Always layer with a statement accessory i.e coloured bag, print shoe, statement scarf
- Opt for a coloured linen shirt and print belt with your jeans instead of a tee
- Mix high and low fashion together i.e a sequin/silk tank with a denim skirt and sneakers
- Give “print clash” a go. Some easy combos are spots/stripes, stripes/floral, animal/stripe, checks with spots
- Swap out your jeans for a pair of overalls or a pinafore dress
Whatever you are doing these school holidays be sure to step outside your comfort zone, to ensure you are stepping out in style.
Vibrantly yours,
