Spring Outfit Inspiration

Spring is right around the corner and I really can’t wait for it! I am really beginning to get fed up of the constant rain, wind and stormy weather that we keep having at the moment. I’m longing for the days where it’s warm enough to wear dresses and shorts out with t-shirts or tank tops and not feel the cold! To get me in the Spring mood, I put three outfits together that I would love to wear when it warms up! I’ve chosen a really edgy look with a tartan dress and black boots, a girly look with double denim and pastel tones and a sporty look with a basketball tee and leather shorts! Which outfit do you like the most? You can shop the pieces with the links beneath the photos.

The first one above was one that I actually put together on a whim. I love the tartan trend a lot and thought that the dress mixed a great combination of femininity and plaid. I paired it with the leather vest and ankle boots just to toughen it up a little bit and then opted for a really edgy 3.1 Phillip Lim bag! I kept the make up minimal and only opted for a red lip and glittery red nails, but I love the dainty jewellery I chose too! Especially the little silver daisy ring from Psyche! It’s adorable! This is definitely a look I would love to branch out and try!

This outfit is definitely something more my style and something that I do love to wear in the Spring! I always end up wearing my vintage Levi’s denim shorts, but I thought pairing them with a lighter wash denim shirt would be a great double denim opportunity. To keep things casual, I chose the Isabel Marant Bekket sneakers in taupe, a Michael Kors cream cross body bag and lots and lots of jewellery accessorize it! I generally opted for lighter colours so I thought the baby pink nail polish would be perfect to finish it off! I can’t wait to start wearing outfits like this! I already own most of the pieces, so I’m all set!

Now this isn’t a look that I would typically wear, but I was inspired to do an outfit like this from one of my favourite bloggers, Aimee Song. I actually already own the basketball tee and the Balenciaga Mini City bag, I just need to get the leather like shorts and dig out some of my silver jewellery, as well as my Michael Kors Slim Runway watch in silver! Since Spring isn’t boiling hot like the Summer, I chose a beanie for this outfit as I thought it would tone things down and keep it really casual. I’m not sure how well the black tones would suit my pale skin tone and this is definitely a different look to what I’m used to, but I would absolutely love to try it out! It’s so much fun! Do you like it?

    Hi, Lorna, we happened to share the same urge for spring 🙂 Gorgeous sets beautifully suiting a young girl like yourself for spring and summer. You come across to me more of a romantic looking girl, I can see you in the first two sets but not in the third one, just my personal feeling 🙂 Have a nice weekend darling! <3 Zhanna, http://www.stylehenge.com

      It’s very pretty! I like the pink and black and the shape, but it wouldn’t fit me. I can’t fit Topshop dresses which don’t have stretch to them, they are always really small and tight in the chest area and I can’t squash into them in that region. It’s always unfortunate.

    Oh no im so sorry to hear that. Such a beautiful dress too, you would have looked incredible in it. I think the bow belt and skirt make it look just super cute

      Yeah, it’s very nice! You would probably like the blogger Atlantic Pacific as she often wears outfits like that! I thought it was her on first glance!

      If that one was shorter, to just above the knee, I would like it! Very pretty!

    Would you look at that, she did get the same dress

    http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.com/2013/12/back-to-big-apple.html?m=1

    Your right though she does wear some stunning dresses, helps that shes incredibly beautiful. I think ive been to her blog a couple times though, she has a great hunter boot collection and really cute outfits with them!

    Excellent, loved the fashion show! I checked out your channel too, i love your accent by the way, really adorable! You should do more OOTD videos, im gonna sub for sure!

    Also the dress i showed you that you wanted shortened probably could be hemmed by the right person, i think you should get that one regardless it would look dashing on you!

      Oh thank you, glad you like my videos! They just take forever to do, the editing and putting the clips together etc was taking hours and it put too much of a strain on me, so I didn’t continue with them. Maybe in the summer I might try again, but not while the weather is hideous here lol.

    understand about the youtube stress, dont feel pressured to make them i just would love to see what your capable of. And yes that dress is gorgeous, i love dresses with the flowing skirts, very few pencil skirt ones appeal me. The dress above is one of the only ones i wear actually
