Being Julia: Wild at Heart

The weather officially feels like fall. Let's all dust off our boots and take them out, because summer is over and it's not coming back (for a while at least). This Sadie sweater is the perfect transitional piece in my wardrobe right now. It will be coming soon to Get Preloved!

JULES APPROVED: Halter Dress

1. SHORT NECKLACE // H&M 
With the high-neckline nature of a halter top, you'll need a short simple necklace as an accessory. This chain necklace will add just the right amount of bling, without taking away the from the halter style.

2. FUN PRINT // PRELOVED.CA
Pattern mixing is always a fine art, but never be afraid to give it a try. With this halter dress, it's already combined two fun patterns so you don't need to work it out yourself.

3. 50'S INSPIRED // KENZO
You can't really think halter dress without thinking Marilyn Monroe or the 50's for that matter. This cute flared dress is fit for a cocktail party or for a drive around town in a convertible.

4. STRAPPY SANDAL // ZARA
It's a bit early to approve sandals, here in Canada ... But we can be hopeful and stock up on some sandals to prepare for some sunshine which will go perfectly with any halter style dress to look extra Goddess-esque.

5. CROCHET // MODCLOTH
There are some amazing crochet and lace halter dresses out there, and it will have you feeling extra whimsical and sophisticated in this off-white flowy piece.

6. SHOULDER BAG // REBECCA MINKOFF
Throwing on yesterday's dress to run out for errands? You'll need this (cult classic) shoulder bag to hold just what you need.

7. FLORAL // PRELOVED.CA
Since floral is a must for spring, why not have a floral halter dress?

8. LEAF HEADBAND // ASOS.COM
Again, playing off of the Goddess look, add a golden leaf headband for a basic accessory.

9. MAXI // MICHAEL KORS 
Go for a long plain maxi dress with a colour you love, for a quick go to outfit. Perfect for dressing up too !

JULES APPROVED: Colour-Blocking

1. HEELS // ZARA
"Don't wear black with navy" is somehow a fashion rule, but i'm sure we all know that colourblocking black and blue is totally okay! This heel is already colourblocked, but if you have a bold coloured heel, pair it with other brights or neutrals to do your own colourblocking .

2. PATTERNED SKIRT // BOOHOO
Patterns with solid colours are ways to colour block without clashing two bright or contrasting colours. Stay en-trend with monochrome and colour blocking with black and white patterns with solid colours.

3. BLOUSE // TED BAKER
Get ready for spring with some floral and baby pink! Slowly inch your way into full on floral during the winter to spring transition.

4. TIGHTS // FOREVER 21
Transform whatever you already have in your closet to a colourblocked outfit just by adding coloured tights. These come in any colour you can imagine, plus they're super inexpensive to experiment with.

5. SHADES // ASOS.com
Colourblocked sunnies are great for those that are stepping out of their comfort zone with bright colours. These sunglasses have colour on the inside, but still very chic and trendy.

6. NAIL VARNISH // ESSIE
Don't forget about the manicure! Not only can your clothes and accessories be colourblocked, your nails can follow the trend too. Plus, colourblocking is probably the easiest DIY manicure to do! (Tip: use tape.)

7. HAT // STAMPD
Having a bad hair day won't stop you from being fab! Have a go to beanie to conceal a bad hair day that can go with any outfit, or just to keep you warm and cozy.

8. BLUE MASCARA // DIOR 
Use some colourful mascara on your lashes over your eye make up for a easy colourblocking make up look. Just swipe on like any other mascara and go!

9. BRIGHT PURSE // 3.1 PHILIP LIM 
Contrast your outfit with a coloured purse. If your closet is already full of solid colours or bold patterns, and bag can help you colourblock for everyday outfits.

10. RAGLAN SLEEVE // PRELOVED
For more casual days, a raglan sleeve (AKA baseball sleeve) tee or dress is a great colourblocking option.
