Spring styling

With Melbourne turning on some extraordinarily windy weather this week, I am seeking refuge in one of my favourite trans-seasonal combinations: cropped pants with warm layers.

For style on a budget, a pair of well fitting, well made, neutral cropped pants or jeans are, in my opinion, a wise investment that will see you through the seasons. 

When the weather is blustery, and the temperatures neither hot not cold, I like to wear my cropped jeans and my city shorts with boots; with socks and flats; or with opaque tights and heels.

Add long sleeves, a cardigan or blazer, grab your trench coat and you are good to go.  Or, for a more rock'n'roll look, choose a fitted jacket in leather, pvc, or denim.

On warmer days, pop on a pair of sandals, flip flops or ballet flats, leave the jacket at home, and add a some colour with your accessories. Still too hot? Roll up the cuffs! If, like me, you love to play with colour, then treat yourself to coloured pants, paired with neutrals or a riot of clashing colours.
