Print cardigans bring excitement to Autumn layering and I have a real soft spot for a classic light neutral shirt paired with jeans under a printed cardigan.
"But why a shirt?" you might ask.
Well, letâs talk about the traditional purpose of a cardigan.
Originally designed as a knitted wool sweater with an open front, it was all about warmth and layering, without the struggle of pulling it over your head (no hair or makeup mishaps... thank you!).
And hereâs where the magic happens.
If youâre out and about, getting a little hot and flustered (hello, perimenopause!), and need to ditch the cardigan, youâre still left with a fabulous shirt, one that pairs seamlessly with jeans, chinos, or wide leg pants.
Itâs layering made easy, with zero hair or makeup styling regrets.

Iâll also be styling a navy shirt with both of these cardigans to take the look in a completely different direction.
Dark neutrals have a way of adding depth, contrast (with the light one), and polish to a printed...
The key tips to styling barrel leg jeans, so you don't second guess yourself, in other words, put them on and then take them off again.
Barrel leg jeans are designed to show the entire barrel shape down your leg and finish way before your foot begins.Â
An easy way to highlight this is by way of a nude block heeled shoe or chunky heeled boots.Â
Nude colours are your skin colours like blush, peach, soft orange, light tan, light grey and light neutrals like white, off white and vanilla tones.Â
When choosing a flat shoe like a sling back or a slim line streat sneaker, cuff those barrel leg jeans so they are no where near the top of your foot.Â
A small cuff will give barrel leg jeans a slight taper, creating a natural funnel effect that balances beautifully with a slimmer, flat shoe.
If you're tall, youâve already got this built-in advantage! đ No need to cuff to all.
You can wear your blue print sneakers, just make sure you add that cuff or have a large gap between your sneakers and the jeans.

Something as simple as knowing which clutch bag to invest in for all of those staff, family, and friends events over the next couple of months is going to be invaluable.Â
So let's break it down into buying for your personality until you learn your colour type.
Milsy - Creative
A creative's clutch bag looks best when it is - well, creative! A creative print like Chevron, urban and any artistic hand crafted print in black and white or black and off-white colour will work hard for you. This will give you more contrast with your statement clutch bag while the rest of your outfit is more medium in contrast, making it a talking point for sure.Â
Leanne - Theatrical
A theatrical clutch bag is fabulous in black and white cow print or zebra print. The soft lines on those two prints contrast beautifully with the strong stripes and spots of a theatrical personality type's best print. The black and w
...When choosing the hem length of your pants, consider the shoes you will wear.Â
Based on my healed boots, I prefer the hem length shown in pictures 1 and 3 the most. Hem length 1 gives me a glamorous, flowy appearance while picture 3 exhibits a more deliberate crop effect that exposes almost all of my boot.
I am 159 cm tall so taking the long almost to the floor first pair of pants up 12 cm gives me the perfect purposeful crop look with my heeled pair of boots (above my ankle bone).
When I wear my flat street sneakers, I prefer my pants to float just above and almost touch the vamp of my shoe (the top nearest where my foot goes in). This makes the second picture my preferred length, which is taken up 8cm from the floor draping first picture.Â
If I'm looking for a comfortable and relaxed look that I can wear with my flat street sneakers without
...Are you overwhelmed by the variety of shoes in the store? Unsure which ones will match your wardrobe?Â
The type of colours and tones you wear is the key factor.
With my colour type, I suit soft colours so my most worn shoes in Spring, Summer and Autumn are black.
I don't wear black boots in Winter though as these appear way too heavy for my colour type so instead I aim for dark taupe.
When I wear a dark jacket or tee, I pair it with bright white shoes to create contrast and balance my outfit without repeating the dark colour again.
Avoid wearing coloured sandals that match your clothes. Not repeating a colour within your outfit is key!Â

To your wardrobe success,
In Adelaide, South Australia. We are going through some crazy coolish weather for Spring.Â
I want to wear my dresses as I'm over wearing my pants and jeans (I'm sure you are too).
As my hair gets greyer and greyer, my best colours change every so slightly (some people change colour types completely as they go grey and I mean go from warm skin tone to cool skin tone - complete opposites) and this white linen dress works so well for my grey-haired complexion even without a tan...
... the tan will arrive very soon (and safely, I absolutely adore sunscreen).Â
This outfit kept me warm, I felt stylish and I was able to add section layers through using my sash belt to tuck my knit vest in.Â
