STREET STYLE: Transitional Dressing

All images taken from Pinterest

September is a strange month, fashion wise. We're leaving summer but autumn is not quite upon us. Yesterday it rained all day, whilst today was blue skies and sunshine. Weird weather aside, September brings the feeling of a fresh start, and for a lucky few: fashion week. Everyone wants to refresh their wardrobe but it's hard to know where to start when the weather is so unpredictable. So, as always, I turned to my good friend Pinterest for some inspiration. And here's the pointers I came up with:

1. Don't put away the summer wardrobe yet!
Hold on to your cami tops and sandals, just pair with warmer pieces. A velvet jacket or a pair of step-hem jeans will bring your summer clothes into late September.

2. Light layers are the way forward
Why not wear a t shirt under your dress? Or a shirt under your leather jacket? Even a dress worn over trousers can work for a brave few.

3. Bare some skin...
...strategically! Especially as I'm constantly on the tube, I am wary of getting too hot, thus I always make sure that I bare a little skin. Maybe I'll ditch the jacket and let my arms loose or I'll bare my ankles with a cropped trousers and flats combo.

4. Mix in dark colours
When transitioning your wardrobe into autumn/winter, the easiest way to update is to mix in dark colours. I'm loving navy, burgundy, dark green and of course BLACK! The same goes for heavier fabrics: think denim, leather, velvet...
