Blue is one of the chicest colours this Spring

Now that the sun is finally shining in London and the cherry blossom is out I have a craving for colour.

I thought I would stick with my blue obsession and show you my latest love. This beautiful cashmere sweater in a vivid cobalt blue is by Winserlondon as is the pashmina wrap.

Do you have a colour that is your current favourite?

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

You look gorgeous in blue; I may never wear it again after seeing how it flatters you!

  Janice You should definitely continue to wear blue, it is a fairly universal colour and I am sure you look great in it.

Hi Josephine. I have developed a Winser London obsession thanks to you. Their pieces are great quality and inspire of keeping my hair blond their blues are extremely flattering. Please do so more pieces on trousers for pears with small waist hand big hips. You look brilliant in Winser blue. Margo

  Hi Margo.
  Glad you like Winserlondon I find their clothes very good quality. I have exactly the same issue with trousers. I find the Winserlondon leggings work well for me. When I tried their wide leg flat front trousers they were not so good I will have to investigate further. My best advice would be to find a good alterations person then buy to fit your hips and have the waist taken in. I constantly have to do this.

I just bought a blue cotton skirt and wrap in Mexico
and I have been wearing it repeatedly. Blue is a great accent colour for grey hair.

  Hi Janis
  I agree ankle length trousers are tricky with shoes. I normally wear flats or sandals. You could try a small wedge heel or one of the new 2" block heel. I have a pair so will try them to see if they work and get back to you.

You look stunning in blue. It is my favourite too - goes with my skin colouring and my eyes. I had to laugh when you wrote that you were happy to see it was on trend this year, only because that would make it easier for you to find. :)
