In A Wardrobe Slump? Try Out This Weeks 7 Online Fashion Picks

It is that time of year again. The time in-between winter and spring. It's too cold not to wear my winter's coat but then when I do and a bit of sun comes out I wish I had my kimono on, so what do we do really? Us college girls are going to have to somehow warp our two seasonal wardrobes into one. If you're not bothered to do it or you simply don't have the clothes you want, check out Boohoo.com and Asos.com. They have new clothes in that are perfect for this dull, but sunny sometimes, Irish weather. Here are my 7 online fashion picks for this week that will sort out any wardrobe slump you may be in. Happy online shopping!

1) The Leather Jacket

Yes, you've guessed it leather jackets are back this Spring and since I saw Cheryl Cole's outfit on her flight to Milan I was in search for a new one. I found a very similar one on Boohoo.com. This Larah Quilted Black PU Biker Jacket at €60 will have you decked out for transitioning from day to night. It's slick and trendy and will go with any color, print and accessory. And, none of this fashion myth that black and navy don't go together, they do!

2) The Jumper

A baggy jumper tucked into a pair of high waisted shorts will certainly be trending this summer. Perfect if it is a warm day in Ireland as it never is that hot so a jumper and shorts would be perfect. But if we have last years heatwave again that will be a different story. This Rosanna Slash Back Tape Yarn Jumper with rip detail at the back at €38 from Boohoo.com will be the perfect spring item to have.

3) The Kimono

Kimono's are back on trend and I have a feeling they will be here from now until Autumn. They come in a variety of prints and they are perfect to throw over a plain t-shirt with high waisted shorts for a night out. Boohoo.com have a great variety but my favorite is the Amelia Flora Print Tassel Kimono at €30. Remember fringing is everywhere this season so these tassels will be bang on trend.

4) The Crop Top

Crop Tops are everywhere on the high street but there is something about the Pippa Lynn Luxe Boxy T-Shirt with Organza Sleeve from Asos.com that I absolutely love. It's not too tight and it is not too in your face. And, with it's mesh arm detail, it is baggy perfection. Imagine that with leather trousers or a leather skirt. It is a big steeper in price at €67.42 but it is my must-have piece.

5) The Leather Trousers

Leather trousers are becoming quite the trusty piece for nights out. And, since crop tops seem to be the Kim Kardashian item of the moment, sticking them with a crop top or patterned string top tee will have you ready for an evening of drinking and socializing. Two pairs have caught my eye on Boohoo.com. The first being the Lydia Coated Skinny Scuba Panel Trousers at €38. These are great if you don't want the drastic all over leather look. But if you do you should go for the Suzanne Zip Side PU Skinny Trouser at €38 also.

6) The Accessory

The accessory for this spring summer comes in the form of socks and I cannot wait to try out the trend. I would team a pair of the Kelsey Sheer Frilly Ankle Socks at €6.00 with my trusty pair of last seasons Boohoo.com brown boots.

7) The Two-Piece

I love a good two piece but it is something that money needs to be spent on. Now, I'm not talking a major amount of money here but I just think when the two pieces are cheap it can be quite the disaster. Some of you may disagree but I am in love with this two piece paradise inspired suit from Asos.com. This Native Rose Boxy Woven T-Shirt in Palm Print at €63.21 and matching Native Rose Jegging in Palm Print at €70.23 are my dream items for this season. And, once I get paid this month they will be the first two things I buy.
