When the cold winter weather ends, its no doubt summer is around the corner. This means a revamping of our wardrobe which can leave our wallets feeling a bit lighter. Not to worry, we have done the footwork for you and found pieces that will fit your style and your budget.

OUTFIT 1: This outfit is chic, simple with an edge all at the same time. It can be more causal with sneakers or sandals, and dressed up with a pair of pumps you already have in your closet! Go with colourful shoes to brighten up the outfit.

SPLURGE: Alexander Wang Leather Shorts – $475

Aldo Sunglasses “SEVEIDIA” – $12.00

H&M – Jersey Top $9.95

TOPSHOP – Black Faux Leather Shorts $60.00

OUTFIT 2: Rompers are staples in the summer closet. Perfect for those days when you rather spend your time in the sun than thinking of what to wear. Try it in different colours and prints to show off your personality.
