Hi Friends,

Are you (like me!) guilty of only wearing certain clothes and neglecting a bunch of completely wearable tops to the bottom of your winter wardrobe?

Perhaps they’re too short in the body, have a scratchy fabric or you’re just plain bored of them?!

Well, it doesn’t have to be that way! I think it’s about time we bring those forgotten gems BACK into the spotlight where they belong!

And I have a few genius tips that can make those old tops you’ve not worn in a while feel fresh and current again!

The magic ingredient…? LAYERING!

See how it’s done

This little trick always helps slim-line the thigh area. I Love to do this!

A quick way to inject colour into your winter wardrobe and lifting your entire look!

I love how a sheer blouse layered under a winter knit can turn a look from now to WOW!

Jersey tops can be made to look a touch more stylish by layering a silk or satin shirt underneath!

A crop top helps enhance the waist, I love to layer with a longer blouse underneath to slimline my tummy area!

Have a jumper that’s a little scratchy – be sure to layer it with a cotton shirt underneath to make it more comfortable.

Add pattern to your plain tops to create an eclectic twist to your look! 

I love this tip when I’m wearing short tops, it always helps my legs look more toned!

Tips to get you started

If you’re a little nervous about layering, don’t worry – its always a good idea to start off  by layering clothes with similar colour tones (or why not try a crisp white shirt as a base – a chic look that never dates!).

Check out the blog I wrote to help you mix and match colours together, which will also lend you a helping hand with your layers. Click the link here.

So go on, ditch those wardrobe dilemmas and get ready to step out into a new season with some clever layering know-how (…and a few pennies saved!)
