Casual evening outfit on sale

Black Friday sales have arrived early this year. Many started a few days ago. Is it my imagination or is seasonal shopping getting earlier and earlier? We will soon be having the winter sales in July!

I have decided to do a few extra posts this week to keep you up to date on this rapidly changing retail landscape. Some of the best bargains are selling out fast. I am an early bird when it comes to holiday shopping so I am happy to take advantage of this new trend.

Today I have put together a casual holiday outfit. I love this print top from Boden – 30% off CODE N6D5. I am not usually a great fan of prints; however, this one is subtle and Wisteria is one of my favourite flowers. It is definitely being added to my basket. I also like these deep burgundy velvet trousers by Hobbs – CODE OHMYDOG20.

Rich colours and velvet remind me of cosy winter evenings.

DETAILS OF ABOVE:

Gold hoop earrings // Wisteria print top // Burgundy/gold necklace // Burgundy velvet trousers // Gold ankle boots // Black clutch bag // Perfume.

Chicatanyage

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.
