HOW TO WEAR YOUR AUTUMN ESSENTIAL

Earlier this month I teamed up with Westfield Chermside on the first reveal of their new fashion precinct. Think big, like Brisbane’s first Sephora and other international names including H&M and ZARA, all of which have arrived at Westfield Chermside! Your favourites, like Country Road, Witchery and General Pants Co., to name a few, have also found new homes in the precinct and all with new interiors. Take it from me - I already want to move into Country Road’s new fitout. 

Naturally, I was on the hunt for transeasonal pieces that would take me through the next couple of months with the versatility to layer up come winter. My key staple is definitely the knit. Go oversized, fitted, bell sleeves, exaggerated sleeves, whatever style you fancy. Then, it is just a matter of mixing it up with your favourite skirts, over/under dresses, jeans, wide trousers etc. 

See my favourite knit styles below.

There’s nothing like bringing some sunshine through to the winter months with a bright yellow oversized knit. Pair it back with a metallic and keep the accessories to a minimum to let the knit shine.

An easy way to take your knit to another level is to colour block. Use the same tone head to toe and then mix it up with texture and fabrics. Here, I mixed the mohair knit with a liquid satin slip dress. Add a vampy lip and slide on a pair of loafers to keep it cool.
