5 outfits to bring you out of lockdown stylishly

Edits-25.jpg

You may still be living in joggers, activewear and anything else that is comfy, but the end is in sight and how are you going to dress as lockdown starts easing? Little did we know a year ago that we would still be in a lockdown but at least this time there’s a bit more hope on the horizon, so now is the time to start planning what you will be wearing in the coming weeks when you diary will finally be filling up.

There are many things we have all missed out on over the past year but in the coming weeks the temperature will increase, Spring has truly sprung with the evenings getting lighter so there will be more of a need to start re-wearing items in your wardrobe. So I have put together 5 outfits for possible things that you might be looking forward to doing (not just trips to the supermarket), things that perhaps 2 years ago were just part of our normal lives but now are slightly unsure of how to dress for them now.

It’s ok to feel anxious about coming out of lockdown, whether it’s worrying about what to wear, how to dress appropriately and how to get inspired about clothes again. Take a good look at what you have in your wardrobe, assess what you have, try things on and get to know your clothes again, this way you will understand whether you need to add some bits in to make new outfits or not. If you feel that lockdown has pulled you into a style rut, I hope these outfits give you some inspiration but if you need more help then please do email me for a chat.

How to style a blazer

Blazers have been a big part of my style for a number of years now and the trend for wearing them off duty, out of the office and as a casual jacket has grown over the past couple of seasons. It’s the perfect jacket to transition into cooler temperatures with, lightweight enough to wear or carry and it has the ability to make an outfit look better instantly. I don't know why, exactly. It could be the collar – everyone looks better with a collar, or the shoulders that create a vertical line for your body shape. It could be the fact that there are so many different options, thus ensuring there's a breadth of colours, fits and sizes. Whatever the reason, now is the perfect time to find a blazer to update other pieces you have in your wardrobe. You will never regret buying one as there are so many things that you can wear it with.

So whether you prefer a tailored, oversized, neutral or bold coloured, check or printed blazer - you can be assured you’re always going to look stylish and well put together with a blazer. It’s classically versatile whilst having an underlining sophistication. Meet your new best friend, your wardrobe staple, your game changer. Thankfully there are many to choose from to buy right now, but I have rounded up the ones that you need the most, of course not all of them but the best of what’s out there right now, to buy now and that you won’t regret.

How I updated my style with 5 new items

The 5 items that I brought to update my style for transitioning into Autumn

The 5 items that I brought to update my style for transitioning into Autumn

Now that we are transitioning into Autumn it’s time to look at what you have in your wardrobe. September can be a mixture of sunny warm days, cold moody days and lots of rain so it’s this transition that we need to dress for. You need to use current pieces that you have in your wardrobe from Summer and some other pieces from last Autumn or Spring and sprinkle a bit of newness in there too.

Often all you need is 5 perfect items to update your style and put a new spin on lots of things in your wardrobe and this is where my Fashion Fix service comes in. Once I know your colours, know your body shape and size and understand more about your lifestyle I can pull together the 5 key pieces you need to wear right now. Clients who’s wardrobe we have detoxed, added new pieces into and built up over time just need a small injection of newness that seamlessly go into your wardrobe and give you a style injection.

I challenged myself to get 5 new pieces for my transitional wardrobe on a budget of £120. I manged to use 2 discount codes in my 5 pieces and free delivery on all of them which means I came in under budget. My pieces are items that I can wear now with sandals if the weather is warm enough, I can layer over things and each other, and are versatile that I have been able to use them in different styling ways many times already. Having a more structured view on what I wanted to buy meant I was more focused on what I really needed, what made me happy and meant I kept in my budget restrictions.

I stuck to my colour palette, brought things that would last me through Autumn and Winter, so whilst they weren’t expensive investment buys, cost per wear will be high which makes me happy that I have spent my money well. Having a clearer idea about what I wanted my style to be and how I wanted to style myself made my choices better ones.

You don’t need a lot in your wardrobe and you don’t need a massive budget to update it, you just need me to find the perfect 5 pieces for you. For £25 you can’t go wrong getting some fresh new pieces for your wardrobe and styling advice from a personal stylist.

Back in January I wrote a blog post about what jackets to buy to move into Spring, I featured the shacket ( overshirt / jacket), yes it’s a thing bear with me….I had brought my check one from Zara and certainly got alot of wear out of it and it’s potential for being versatile in your wardrobe is huge.

Now that the weather has turned I found myself reaching for it again and I have seen alot more shacket’s online whilst shopping these past couple of weeks. Here is my top 5 to buy now and believe me you will get so much wear out of this overshirt in the coming weeks its definitely worth the early Autumn investment now
