As much as I love the idea of minimal summer dressing, transitional weather has to be a layer addict's dream. Unpredictable weather, and at least a 17% chance of showers at any one time, in London a hood is pretty much a necessity. Especially, if like me, you'd rather fill your bag with fun stuff like dry hair shampoo and lipglosses that smell like bubblegum, rather than lugging around a brolly.
Layering in my opinion is the key to taking a look and making it your own. It's the flash of a cuff under a long sleeve top, a hood spilling out over a boyfriend jacket, a shearling gilet over a leather biker. The same applies to accessories. Layer up and edit down until you are satisfied. Or, if you are like me, pile them on...... and leave the house.
Transitional weather is also the perfect excuse for afternoon tea. When it's mid May and freezing outside, its the ideal oppertunity for a pot of English breakfast and a piece of cake. Don't mind if I do.
