Flexible Lace

Layering a jumper/sweater over a dress is a simple way of getting more use out of your dresses and prolonging their wear right into the cooler months. It's also a great way of making a dress more daytime-appropriate, as Vicky demonstrates here. What appears to be a white lace skirt is actually a dress with long sleeves and a high neckline - a bit dressy for a 9am lecture, but instantly more casual when worn with a jumper and scarf.

Mint Floral

Floral print has been popular for quite a few seasons, but it has only recently made its way into jean territory. While the prospect of flower-bedecked legs may seem somewhat daunting, it can actually be quite a wearable look, when balanced with a casual, loose-fitting top. Vicky paired her jeans with a sheer, mint-coloured shirt to create an outfit that's perfect for this transitional time of year, when it's not quite warm enough for shorts but still officially summer.
