Le weekend


What do you wear when your girlfriends spring a ladies dinner on you at the last minute? What do you wear when that boy wants to take you out for coffee on a saturday morning?
You wear this.

 Patchwork dresses are becoming a serious contender in the 'staple wardrobe' stakes. Be sure to choose a belted style.

 Rock a printed pencil skirt this weekend with a simple blouse. The trick is to match the colour of the blouse with one of the colours in the print.

A different kind of patchwork to try. The options are endless in fashion!

Don't be afraid to wear a maxi on the weekend. The key is to choose one in a neutral colour like navy or white (obvious choices for summer). And in saying that, don't be afraid to go short either! A playful denim mini dress is all you need to get you through those warmer months.
