Revamping your summer wardrobe without having to buy more clothes

With the recent heatwave we can officially say summer is here - but if your summers are anything like ours at MizEllie that means a full social calendar of fun events and parties. However, that can also lead to problems as a season full of parties means your wardrobe has to work very hard or you face a massive clothes bill. So how can you ensure you look your best this summer without having to spend a fortune on new clothes?

Well at MizEllie we aim to make your life easier and of course more fashionable so we have a guide to making your wardrobe work harder.

Create a capsule wardrobe

It's a really good idea to have a bit of a clear out first and assess what you have got. The aim is to have a capsule wardrobe with a few key pieces that will never go out of fashion and work well together. Once you have got this together you can add in a couple of seasonal pieces to make it look like your wardrobe is evolving without costing too much.

Work those separates

Dresses are great and are perfect for occasion wear. However, it can be hard to make it look different each time you wear it. Therefore, consider building some of your party looks around a few key separates as a pair of black trousers or a pencil skirt, for example, will look different each time you wear it all you need to do is mix up the top. So if you are worried about being spotted in the same outfit twice make separates your best friend as they can be used in a variety of ways and will always look different. They are also the perfect summer holiday wardrobe saviour.

Don't forget to accessorise

 Good accessories can instantly transform an outfit – whether it is great costume jewellery, a silk scarf, a fab handbag or great shoes they are a perfect and inexpensive way to mix up your look. What's more the recent trend for bold statement jewellery can really work in your favour as it will provide a memorable focal point for even the plainest outfits. So teaming a bold statement necklace or pair of chandelier earrings will mean that they are the pieces that get noticed and not the fact you are wearing the same dress you wore two weeks ago.  What's more the style of your fashion jewellery will change the whole feel of your outfit.  Long pendants will add a bohemian vibe to your look while a bold bib style necklace will add an edgy feel – perfect for mixing up your look. The same goes for shoes and handbags as these simple items can really revamp your look with not much effort.
