Slips and Statements

Season to season, the black slip dress has remained a versatile piece within my closet, and I’m sure yours too. Details change - whether it be the neckline, the straps or the length. Overall, it remains a strong option worn alone or styled layered. I actually love the update on todays Third Form dress. The tie details on the spaghetti straps add something a little more than just a simple LBD. Styling can be mixed up depending on the occasion, worn high on the neckline to look more polished or a little more loose for those easy braless beach days.

Now onto the slogan tee - I.JUST.CAN’T.GET.ENOUGH. My collection is rapidly growing and a little less serious than some of my wardrobe staples. I am finally introducing this seasons biggest colour red somewhere other than my make up bag. The pop of colour on the tee pairs back nicely with a strong lip. I've opted for a statement earrings because let's be honest... there's some amazing pairs around right now. My jewellery box is begging for more space. Something about this ensemble takes me back in time - and I’ve come to the decision it’s the sunnies, clogs and red lip that contribute to this!

Relaxed Silks

Silky delicates are favourite of mine moving into spring. I get slightly addicted to certain styles if I know it works for my shape and it’s easy to style into my weekday and weekend wardrobe. If it gives off a relaxed feel, it’s definitely a selling point. I’m already building a nice collection of camisoles to pair with lightweight skirts and denim and you should do the same! A neutral girl at heart means I’ll be sticking to nudes and warmer tones, but if you are lover of colour there are some great popping bubble pinks and baby blues filtering through for the season ahead.

Silky basics are so easy to take through into next season.  Today’s dress is a little oversized and has a beautiful plunging backline. It will be such a winner come summer with a bronzed glow, but until then a relaxed fit tee is my go to.

Never overlook small style changes in such basic pieces. Tip: Buy one size bigger in tees so that you can pull off one shoulder. It can make such a difference to the look.

The cropped raw hem flare (as you know I love) are perfect to wear under a slip dress on chilly days. They’re fun to layer and I’ve been such a fan of this throughout winter. Moving into spring, there’s definitely a bit of excitement to wear silk and linen fabrics on their own, with the only styling coming from statement shoes and bags.

As the seasons change, I’d love to know what trends you are looking forward to wearing. If there’s a particular trend you’d like to see more of over on Boho Tailor please let me know!
