          How to wear strappy dresses when you don’t like your arms

          Layer Layer!

          August 31, 2018

          With autumn just around the corner, it’s time to prepare for cooler months, in fact my favourite time of year, instead of wearing the lightest cotton dresses the time has come to layer up. Yay!

          One easy transition is to keep wearing your floaty summer dress and add a knit over the top, shown perfectly by Hussein Chalayan’s Autumn/Winter 2018 collection. Soft and willowy with a relaxed knit and even boots. I’m feeling this look, with the warm earthy tones, but still with bare legs to keep from looking too wintery.

          I found more inspiration on Pinterest, the boho layer and the office layer.

          In simple terms it’s a mannish sweater over a ladylike dress, an easy flow into layering and probably sitting in your wardrobe as we speak. If not try Hush and Zara below.

          So before you buy new, keep the summery dress the same, add a medium weight knit and dust off your boots.  (Just before the heatwave returns!)

          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.
