From the perfect floral dress to the wear-everywhere navy blazer, Kat Farmer, founder of style blog Does My Bum Look 40 in This? picks out her top spring staples to make getting dressed each morning a breeze
The floaty floral dress
“Every season I buy a new frock and wear it to death,” says Kat. “I prefer midi or maxi lengths (my knees aren’t what they used to be), so this floral number [] is my ultimate choice. It’s easy to dress up for a wedding with heels or you can pare it back with ballet flats for a coffee with friends. The sleeves are perfect for tackling Britain’s changeable weather and while it’s off the shoulder, the black detailing cleverly hides bra straps. Think one dress, endless occasions.”
The shirt with a twist
“Shirts don’t have to be dull. An up-to-date spin on a classic, this flared sleeve version [] is guaranteed to put a smile on your face in the morning. Ideal for the boardroom with tailored trousers and a blazer, or style it up with jeans as I have here for the weekend.”

The chic navy blazer
“Every woman should have a tailored blazer in her style repertoire – it’s an everyday essential from which you can build an array of outfits. Whether you keep it simple with a white T-shirt and cargo trousers (denim also works wonders here) or swap in a statement skirt for the office or a fancy dinner date, this navy version is the ultimate foundation to let your accessories do the talking. My eye is on the flamingo prize here with these fun embellished flats: think polished with a punch of personality.”
“The navy blazer is a true POWER player in the style stakes: slip it on and your look is instantly chic”

The versatile grey jeans
“Monochrome separates are a sure-fire winner for taking you from desk to drinks with little fuss. Start with these versatile grey jeans – a simple way to put a new spin on your everyday look and as easy to wear as black and indigo. Next, snap up this perfect longline blazer in lieu of a heavy winter coat (finally!), add an elegant white silk shirt and a pair of killer heels like this bow-embellished pair for a power finish. Think timeless, chic and perfectly on point.”
“A BOLD handbag will bring a flash of personality to the simplest of outfits”
