I really do love a new season, especially Spring and Autumn with all the vibrant colours swirling around in nature. We know that spring symbolises fresh beginnings, transformations, similar to the new year. For me it’s all that plus more – it’s playing and experimenting with fresh colours, textures and styles for the months ahead and getting excited of embracing something new, something different.
Below I have curated 9 special spring outfits for work (or event wear) that I hope will inspire you to think and go a little left of field and upwards with your style in the coming months. Given you spend the majority part of your waking day working, it is imperative you give more attention to how you want to show up! You know me, I’m a woman on a mission to help you stand out from the rest and recognise the power of your ‘visual’ voice, every day. Of course if you don’t work, then these are gorgeous for any occasion. All of these outfits demonstrate feminine power without having to wear a suit.
What you will find below are a kaleidoscope of clashing prints, large prints, graffiti prints, bright colours and even some pastel colours, butterflies and flowers – all mixed in ways that as per usual with my creations, have a twist of the unexpected and can stir the emotions of even the least daring of you.
If you are ready to invest in yourself and harness that visual voice, reach out to discuss my style options available – either in person complete style transformations, more information here or virtual style sessions here.
Enjoy

Trousers:
Elegance and fun all in one. Who said your jacket had to be the traditional style? This is where I suggest this totally cool one arm asymmetric jacket that oozes sexy and sophisticated. Worn with these fun paint splash print trousers, a yellow flower pinned to the shoulder, your journey for renewal is clear you have begun. (For those that don’t wish to bare their arms, then a mesh long sleeve top or a white t-shirt would work well under this).

Skirts:
Abstract prints especially in black and cream have a place in this colourful world, and that is on the woman who loves nothing more than to pleasantly shock people out of their monochromatic lives! Of course when she adds the sublime soft green feminine blouse and lilac heels to counter balance the loud print on the skirt, she shows her equilibrium – her perfect balance.

Let’s make no mistake that wearing a gold skirt such as this to work would ignite some envious looks with that gold glow radiating in your orbit. Gold is not just for evening and especially with this midi skirt where you have dressed it down with a flattering cream ruched top and flat heels, yet taken it back up a notch with the super special neckpiece. It’s understated elegance at its best.
