Transitional Dressing

With the weather getting crisper by the day, it is hard to find a really wearable and transeasonal look. With my wardrobe suffocated by all of my dresses and my recent lack of excitement for cardigans - I was stuck. Then I decided to purchase a white daisy-collared blouse from Sister Jane (buy here). So after my weekly  'dress up time' (the time when no one is home, so i try on everything in my wardrobe), I had come up with all these different ways to wear this blouse. Worn under my pinafores, I fold out the daisy collar and pair the pinafore with a pair of deniers (depending on how crisp it is). Worn with midi-skirts (also great for transeasonal dressing) and playful espadrilles. Then worn with my red-cord blazer and vintage shorts. It is fast becoming my go-to piece for this unpredictable Autumn weather. 


If you have picked up the recent Frankie magazine, I'm sure you are drooling over the stunning cover image. What is better than an olive-skinned girl with green eyes, wearing lilac? Plus wearing a stunning owl dress from Romance was Born with a collared blouse underneath. (Can be purchased here.) The way that they have paired the dress with the blouse makes the shift dress really wearable and cute! An other idea to achieve this look is to pair a shift dress (or another a-line dress) with a detachable collar. There is a huge collection of them on Asos.com.  

Here are some looks I have put together:

1. Sister Jane blouse, Dahlia pinafore, Asos t - bar heels, Jeepers Peepers sunglasses, vintage bag.


2. Sister Jane blouse, Asos midi skirt, River Island espadrilles, Asos cat-eye sunglasses, vintage glomesh bag.


3. Sister Jane blouse, vintage Dotti corduroy jacket, Glamorous high-waisted shorts, Dangerfield sunglasses, Payless orange wedges.



There we go, three ideas to play around with when choosing what to wear this Autumn. So, go out and buy yourself a white/cream long sleeved blouse (or the one you've got tucked away in your closet) to take your summer wardrobe to winter.
