Summer-to-winter style: Pippa works the perfect transitional look

Coats, scarves, gloves, woollies… winter weather requires a whole lot of extras.

So this year we'll be doing whatever we can to transition some of our summer wardrobe into the colder season, in the hope of saving a few quid while still looking stylish.

Our first port of call for inspiration? Pippa O'Connor, who perfectly demonstrated how a summer dress can get a second life earlier this week.

The model and mum looked stunning at the Connacht Gold Tea Party at House on Leeson St, wearing a gorgeous white-and-navy tunic style dress with gold jewellery.

Ensuring she was ready to brave the cold outside, Pippa teamed the dress with black tights and black velvet ankle boots, making it a perfect transitional look.

In keeping with the summery vibes, guests were treated to an afternoon tea of sandwiches, sweet bites, freshly buttered scones and gold-themed cocktails.

Sounds like our kind of event…
