Early Signs of Spring

After an alarmingly warm and sunny week in February, we’ve all seen the early signs that spring is just around the corner… daffodils are blooming in the park, tulips are in full swing in every florist’s window, and I’ve successfully avoided the Easter Egg aisle in my corner shop for the past four weeks.

 

And although the weather is in stark contrast to this time last year (let’s not forget the beast from the east), it is a welcome surprise after a particularly long and cold winter.

With a little help from Very’s Spring collection – I’ve found a couple of statement pieces to carry me through the seasonal transition and add a fresh start to my current wardrobe of dark chunky knits and black Chelsea boots.

Firstly, let’s talk about this Mango dream of a jumper. Slight turtle neck, cable knit and the prettiest petal pink – all of my favourite things one would expect to find in the perfect spring knit. It’s also slightly cropped at the front too, so it tucks nicely into a pair of high-waist jeans.

And if you’re wanting to brave the cropped jeans but aren’t ready for bare ankles in February – these statement ankle boots (also from Mango) are the ideal solution and adds a pop of spring tones to your outfit too!

I think the combination of a chunky knit tucked into cropped kick-flares paired with a statement boot is very Parisian-chic and a look I’m hoping to channel more in the season ahead.
