Last day of Winter OOTD

Winter has been making a slow and steady departure for a while now; making way for more frequent, glorious, sunny Spring days! There's been less dependency on bulky Winter garments, although I'm not quite sure if we can pack them away for good just yet. The early days of Spring are quite unpredictable, so for now, I think I will rely on my trusty transitional pieces.

I love what you can do with your wardrobe during the transitioning seasons. There seems to be more options available as you delve into the lighter items of your wardrobe; and light layering means that you're fully prepared if the Cape Town weather decides to rise or fall at any given time! It's a fantastic time of year as you have more freedom to experiment with your style and mix up your favourite items of clothing from all the seasons to create an interesting and unique look, while still balancing out the slight chill that's lingering in the air!

I've worn this same dress since our early Autumn hit us and all through our cold and bitter Winter; and I think I will hang onto it for a little while longer still through the initial stages of Spring. I like that it's versatile, easy to layer, a little loose for those fat days and has a Boho look and feel to it. Worn over tights, leggings or skinny jeans; long or ankle boot; leather jacket or coat...or even on it's own - this dress has the ability to take me through most seasons!!
