Spring is my favourite time of year. I love all the colourful flowers, bright blue skies and the warm sunshine. Although I love fashion, I’m not a fan of breaking the bank to look the part. It’s not about buying a new wardrobe every time a new season comes along. For me it’s about adding a few items to spruce it up and add versatility to the wardrobe you already own. To get ready for Spring, I put together 3 easy ways to get your look ready for the new season.
COLOUR AND PRINT
Pair your neutrals with items in bold colours and prints – like a blazer, skirt, blouse, shoes and accessories.
When going bold, make sure all the items have a complimentary colour story to make your pieces more versatile. The colour story you choose should flatter your skin tone and colour category you fall into.
These are the colours you should be rocking for Spring 2016 according to Pantone and Instyle:
- Warm Autumn (Buttercup, Peach Echo, Fiesta and Iced Coffee)
- Warm Spring (Buttercup, Peach Echo, Iced Coffee and Green Flash)
- Cool Winter ( Serenity, Snorkel Blue, Lilac Grey)
- Cool Summer (Rose Quartz, Serenity, Limpet Shell and Lilac Grey)

Start simple and choose two bold colours to add to your wardrobe. Here are some colourful items for inspiration!
For warm skin tones, a red blouse, yellow skirt, yellow blouse and red shoes.
For cool skin tones, a blue blazer, blue printed shirt, pink tank and pink shoes.
A FRESH DO
Elle magazine says – try baby bangs, go short with a bob, keep your long layers or try a shaggy do. These ladies are rocking their styles and so can you!
Before you decide which do you’re going to try for Spring, make sure that your hairstyle suits your face shape and style. Changing your hair can give you just the right amount of fresh for the new season!
MAKEUP
Makeup is also a great way to welcome Spring. A natural makeup look with either a bold eye or lip takes the stage this season says Harpers Bazaar.
The Spring 2016 lip trend, go with a bold red or a dark lip. Make sure to choose the right shade of lipstick for you and make it stay all day!
The Spring 2016 eye trend, compliment bold lashes with blue, bronze or pink/sunset lids.
