Underneath Layering

Sunny, cloudy, chilly, mild-- can the weather just decide what season it is?! If it could it would make dressing so much easier! We've definitely had some mini bursts of spring-like weather, but overall I feel like spring has been a late arrival. This has definitely tested me in the wardrobe department, forcing me to put together outfits to ensure I can get through whatever the day may bring. The other day the clouds rolled in and I swear you could have mistaken the day for a brisk fall day. 

Instead of covering up the lace cap sleeves of this blouse and wearing a sweater on top, why not switch it around!? I paired a lightweight mock-neck knit under this lace blouse for added warmth, and also style. I love the way the sleeves flare out and how the lace cap sleeves are totally visible. Making one little change by having the sweater underneath allows all the details to shine though (check out the back of this blouse!), while also ensuring I am good and toasty throughout the day.

What do you think of the sweater underneath?! Will you try it? How are you paving way though the muddled weather?

Trenching

Whatever comes my way, be it sunny skies or bursts of rain I'm taking a new approach. I'm ready for it, trenching through the puddles or lifting my head to chase the sunshine. Every day brings with it new battles, challenges and ups and downs, doesn't it? We are all just rolling with the punches. This is definitely something my brother would say, actually I feel like it was his go-to quote at one point. Nevertheless, it rings true to me right now. But what are my three essentials for this battle in the barracks?

1. Waterproof shoes -- Cougar Boots has me swooning (literally, the shoe is called Swoon) over these waterproof sneakers. Anti-slip, removable cushion inserts and they are guaranteed waterproof. And there's no ounce of compromise on style here.

2. Neutral trench -- Always a necessity. This Club Monaco trench has turned into one of my most loved investment pieces. Timeless, elegant yet structured and leaves you self-assured.

3. Sunglasses -- Not to hide behind, but to shield and protect from harshness. It's okay to use up a bit of defence.

Trans-Seasonal Pink Cape

When the temperatures travel from 5 to 17 degrees in one day. Chilly mornings... warm afternoons... what's a girl to wear!? We all need to rely on those transitional pieces to take us through the day during this confusing season. This vibrant cape has become my go-to. It's a colour blocking babe of a piece that I can tone down or add some flare too. A true trans-seasonal piece. Add some more bulk underneath in the winter, or throw on top of a slip in the summer. Knits are essential. Did I mention it's on sale?!

How else can you pair it?
Dress and sneakers, metallics and jeans, or throw it over some real statement sleeves.  Whatever you do, just have fun with it.
