Camouflage

J Crew polka dot tank, Acne Studios mape leather jacket, ASOS midi skirt, ASOS camo clutch

I’m at the tail end of the 5PFW Challenge, and not far off another seasonal capsule. With another winter almost over, and the weekend bringing with it a glimpse of Spring (then snatching it away as the icy outdoor temps this morning were anything to go by!), I’ve been starting to think about – and look for – ways to add a bit of colour, and print, back into my wardrobe.

The same way a bold lip can lift an outfit, an accessory is the best place to start, and what better way that with the most unlikeliest of candidates. I’ve never been much one for anything green, but for some unexplained reason, this camo clutch from ASOS caught my eye way back when.

While I’m still a firm believer that less is more, I’m definitely ready for a Spring wardrobe update of sorts. And it all starts with this bag. While you won’t be seeing any camel suede skirts around here any time soon (it’s a little too literal for my taste), I’m not promising that a pair of snakeskin lace up ballet flats are completely out of the equation…
