Nail Transitional Dressing with MizEllie This Summer

There has been an unusual sight in the sky in recent weeks – the sun. The weather has started to take a turn and that means we all need to manage the tricky art of transitional dressing. This is not an easy task because it's a little warm for big thick winter jumpers and yet not the right weather for summery dresses and shorts. So how can you tackle the tricky art of transitional dressing? Well, here at MizEllie we have the perfect guide to managing the changes in seasonal dressing.

Layer up

The first thing to master when it comes to transitional dressing is to work your layers. A pretty summer dress can be worn with tights and jackets and cardigans so that when it gets warmer you can quickly and easily strip back the layers. So investing in things like a gorgeous blazer and keeping your winter boots out will mean that you will be able to cope well whatever, the weather.

Another great tip is to take inspiration from Emma Stone by wearing a t-shirt under a summery dress or why not take another trend from Ms Stone by wearing over the knee boots with a bright summer skirt? That way you will look appropriate whatever the weather decides to throw at us.

Pick the right outerwear

OK so you don't want to walk out and about in a thick and heavy winter coat, but it is Britain after all so you are going to need some kind of coat (especially as it will rain in this country). At MizEllie we love the trend for 1960s style parkas and biker style leather jackets – that way if you are caught in a shower you will still look uber stylish.

Things like cashmere scarves are going to be your new best friend this spring. At MizEllie we love the versatility of women's scarves because you can throw them into your bag and use them to add a bit of warmth if you are hit by a cold snap and of course still look stylish while you are at it. For some reason the addition of a gorgeous cashmere scarf will add warmth to your outfit without making you feel that you are too bundled up and too wintery.

Accessorise

So you may not be able to go for full out beach wear and let's face it who wants to trudge through puddles in flip flops. However, just because it may not be right to wear full-on summer outfits doesn't mean you can't have a summery twist on your look. Here is where accessories and jewellery are an important part of your wardrobe. By introducing bright colours and summery accessories into your wardrobe, you will feel summery but still weather appropriate at the same time.  Even something as simple as wearing a floral or bright scarf can take your outfit from winter to summer.
