Look 3: Shorts plus layers for visiting day

Look 5: Streetwise #OOTD for the fashionistas

This one is for the fashionistas … We love the soft flower print – perfectly auspicious – but the wader boots give the whole look a certain streetwise edge. Oh, and they’re great if it starts to rain! 🙂 Jasmine is wearing Puffy Sleeve Dress and Boots by Celine; with  Mixi. 22K Gold Twist Ring and Bangle by Poh Heng and an Intrecciato Nappa Scales Shoulder Bag in Dusty Pink by Bottega Veneta.
