          What to Wear this Spring

          Rewind to Winter Warmers

          February 8, 2017
          Kirstie Smillie

          Over the last few weeks, my blog postings were all about looking forward to Spring but obviously it’s still Winter and the weather’s getting cold again…rewind to Winter Warmers.

          Lets enjoy layering. Really, it can be fun. Think not one or two, but three or four layers peeking out to add colour, shape and interest under gloomier skies.
          I found these all on Pinterest. How about these….

          Kirstie Smillie

          Cardigan, denim jacket, jumper, T-shirt

          Kirstie Smillie

          Coat over zipped jacket and polo necks

          Kirstie Smillie

          Coat, gilet, over button up shirt

          Dig out the big over coats and cuddle up. (Borrow husbands, boyfriends or Grandpas if needed)

          Kirstie Smillie

          Oversized lapels and roll collars

          Kirstie Smillie

          Textures galore, fur, felt and wool

          Scarves go big, nearly blanket proportions.

          Plaid and stripes, a favourite of mine

          Kirstie Smillie

          Tones of grey, maybe socks added!

          The big one … oversized sweaters.

          Kirstie Smillie

          Big knit, big scarf, slim leg gear.

          Kirstie Smillie

          Chunky over stripes, how cosy?

          Kirstie Smillie

          Tailored jacket with knit peeking out.

          Finish off with big warm boots, I am wishing I had a pair of these classics from LLBean. Link HERE. Heavenly… warm and waterproof! My Dad won’t believe I love these after all the trouble I gave him as a teenager not wanting to wear sensible walking boots in the Alps (we are talking over 30 years ago, when very unfashionable!)

          Kirstie Smillie

          Original iconic ‘duck’ boot

          Don’t forget the socks, scrunched down.

          Kirstie Smillie

          One chunky or layer two thin.

          Gap are offering 30% off this selection of easy layers, link HERE (in case you are missing a few), but hopefully you have similar pieces at home to pile on.

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.
