Punchy brights add some oomph to this two part ensemble. The off the shoulder detailing is pretty and a little sexy, without upstaging any bride or mom-to-be. Plus, the hem length is perfect for sitting at a reception or shower. Top Shop.

One of my absolute faves; a bright pop of pink in the form of a maxi skirt is complemented by a graphic black and white print top. This one is a sure pick for a baby shower.

For Spring, despite the urge to update my closet, I’m looking to find something that feels new, without spending a cent. So I look into the wardrobe and re-imagine the pairings. Here are some key pieces, mixed, matched and reworked for a spectrum of looks.

For a day that feels bright, crisp white; a cropped blazer, bold jewelery, sweater with thin gold stripe for subtle texture and a flirty lace skirt. Add nude heels to keep the focus on the multi-tonal white palette. Perfectly sweet.

For brisk weather, and the unpredictability of those Spring days, swap in some leggings and a peep-toe wedge, a black blazer and chain necklace for a more tomboyish edge.

One step further, a leather jacket and platform spike heels add an element of hard-edge to contrast the sweet side of lace. Three looks, for an array of temperatures and times of day. Have fun in your closet!
