Fashion is what you make of it, I love this statement because it is so true, be original, be YOU. Spring Fashion along with Summer Fashion are some of my favourite types of fashion. Over the years I have learnt to manage my wardrobe and invest in some pieces for all seasons. Often items in Fashion go out of trend but it doesn’t have to be that way, you can always re-purpose them. That is what I love about Fashion, everything does come back around into trend.
Living in the UK I know Spring can be warm but 90% of the time it is not, we used to it. Often I spent every 6 weeks doing an inventory of my wardrobe and what needs to go. It was during the recent clear out that’s when I realised I needed to invest into some Spring items. Here are 5 pieces to invest in this spring and I believe can be re-purposed too.
5 pieces to invest in this spring
Spring 2018 hasn’t been what we are used to, it has rained and snowed more than any other year. But then lately it has been really lovely weather with great sunny spells everywhere. It has been lovely waking up to good weather, topping up on vitamin D and good feeling. When it is warm, somehow everything seems to just click into place and everything is fun again. Here are some pieces to invest in this spring whilst the warmer weather lasts.
High-Waisted Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans are such a staple item in a woman’s closet, we all have that one pair we love. High-waisted not so much as even though I love them, they sometimes cut of my circulation of food. But still they are an essential item to own and I have snubbed a few recently to invest into this Spring. I often pair them up with cropped tops or basic tops which I tuck in.
Sunnies for life
I am currently in Zagreb where the sun is out daily and the weather is much warmer than the UK. With me I packed two pairs of sunnies just because and I am embracing them big time. I have 7 pairs of sunnies all over my home and car, I need sunnies for life. In the UK we are always prepared for that little bit of sun so we can all donne our sunnies and enjoy the weather. Sunnies are items to invest in this spring and look good all year round so long as its sunny enough.
Straw Bag
Straw bags are now in fashion for than ever, my mother owned a lot of straw bags when she was young. They are definitely back in fashion and being used in full force, making statement outfits. I am hoping to invest in one this Spring as they are such a staple and cute item.
Denim shorts
During warmer Spring and Summer I basically live in denim shorts, every Spring I purchase a new pair. It is such a versatile piece to invest in this spring, you will thank me later. It doesn’t matter much which colour or type, it is nice to have one and style it how you like. I often buy black, blue {many shades} and once dared a mustard one which I loved.
Fedora for days
When it comes to buying hats, I am a fedora kind of girl all the way and just love to style them. Fedoras are my favourite types of hats a woman can wear casually or with smart attire. It is one piece to invest in this spring and can be used throughout the year. Such a statement piece that adds elegance to an outfit but saves me on a bad hair day too.

For me skinny jeans are a staple throughout the year, and of course sunnies x

Kacie Morgan says
I have been thinking about investing in a straw bag for my upcoming getaways 🙂
Nichola - Globalmouse says
I really want a straw bag to take with me on my travels. I agree, you can’t have too many pairs of sunglasses can you?!
Kara says
I have just ordered some sunglasses – i think it is my fault that the sun has disappeared
Lauretta at Home and Horizon says
Yep. Sunnies are must haves – with or without a hat. I don’t want to go out squinting all day. Ha ha
Miranda says
Hahahaha! you have a point there, I don’t like squinting
Becca Talbot says
I’ve been looking for a good fedora to take on holiday, do you have any recommendations of where to get one? I already have the other bits listed here sorted 😉 x
Miranda says
I often kept mine from New Look and River Island, they are often nicely priced too
Bella and Dawn at Dear Mummy Blog says
My mummy has a circular straw bag from last year’s she’s going to dig out! Great picks and you definitely need a good denim short in the hotter weather.
Melanie williams says
I always get a new straw bag for the summer season. Ideal to throw stuff in for a picnic or day at the beech x
Miranda says
Very ideal indeed, I will be dusting mine off soon
Laura Dove says
Great list! I really need a new pair of sunglasses this year! And a straw bag too, they are perfect for the beach!
Jenni says
I went and stocked up on summer stuff when we had a nice couple of days and it has rained since haha
The London Mum says
all the elements of the perfect summer wardrobe!
Emma says
I need a serious wardrobe overhaul! I love my high waisted skinny jeans and agree in colder climate and unpredictable weather like that in the UK, they are an absolute must!
Miranda says
So true, the UK has definitely made us wiser in what we should have throughout the year
Alison Rost says
Can’t survive Spring without sunnies and a good hat! I love that straw bags are so trendy lately, they’re so adorable and there’s plenty to choose from!
Miranda says
I am the same, I always need to have my sunnies on hand as well as a good hat
Stephanie says
I love my denim shorts for the spring, they are warm enough being a thicker material but being shorts to get those legs out!
Jacqueline says
I do like investing in my clothes, this is why I don’t shop constantly but rather wait to find quality garments that are well constructed using materials that won’t pill or fall apart in a year.
Sarah Bailey says
These are some great ideas I live in hats over the winter but never think of one for summer I should change that for sure!
Miranda says
During winter i love my beanie but spring and summer its fedora all the way
Helen Jacob-Lloyd says
I’m so ready for the spring sun to start shining now – I really want to make it my mission to find a summer hat that suits me this year 🙂
Miranda says
I pray the weather improves and it stays warmer
Beth @ BethinaBox.com says
Fab ideas. I think I need to get myself a straw bag. 😀
Miranda says
I need to replace my old one as its been my go to for ages
