Despite my tendency to mix and match crazy prints and bright colours, I’m a strong believer in creating a capsule wardrobe.  Surprised?  My philosophy is no matter how over-the-top your style is you need a core collection of staples to base outfits around.
So maybe my basics aren’t so basic, I definitely don’t have the effortless style of fellow Viktoria + Woods devotee Lindy Klim (who rocks a drop crotch jean like no other).  But the Melbourne brand has much more to their repertoire than uber-cool attire for minimalist dressers.  A huge portion of their collections offer a preppy, girly spin on wardrobe essentials…  So up my alley that I feel right at home wearing the brand head-to-toe!  So since spring is upon us I’m making life easy with this capsule how-to.  It’s all about finding key pieces you can dress up or down, like these eight:

Left to Right:  The Midi Skirt, The Classic Tee, The Sleeveless Knit, The Spring Crop Top.

Left to Right: The Cropped Trouser, The Striped Shift Dress, The Mini Skirt and Printed pants.
