Classic January wardrobe staples

 

It may be sunny in the South of France at the moment however it is still January and the atmosphere can be a little chilly so it is advisable to continue to wear layers.

 

 

I have settled into a standard “go to” set of pieces that I can rotate on a daily basis depending on how strong and when the wind is blowing.

They consist of classic jeans, wrap coat, white T shirt, navy V neck sweater, trainers, scarf, panama hat(if it is sunny) and dark glasses.

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.

  • I love your wrap coat ,and would like to buy one however the one you are wearing appears to be a different one,than the one advertised that we can buy ,,,help please

    • Hi Sbadwi

      I know this can be very frustrating. The coat I am wearing in the photo is by DNKY which I have had for about 4/5 years. I spent hours on the internet yesterday trying to find similar styles.

      My readers do tend to like photos of me wearing an outfit and as I have a fairly small wardrobe and tend to buy items that are good quality and keep them for many years it can be challenging to find similar pieces.

      Personally I find that by reading blogs I sometimes get new ideas of how to put my existing clothes together in maybe in a different way or add some new accessories. My intention is to inspire creativity.

      If you click on the arrows at the bottom of the blog there are some more choices and I have also had another look and come up with a few more items that might be of interest. I intend to buy the light grey one I have featured when I return to London as I think it will be a useful transitional item ideal for the warmer climate here in France.

      Trust this is of some use.

  • I love the clothes, but why so many from the US. I know from experience their things are often more wearable but the taxes and shipping are exorbitant! Could you not give UK alternatives?

  • Hi Linda
    I know it can be a bit frustrating and I have given up ordering from the States as you say the shipping and taxes are heavy. I try and keep a reasonable balance, quite a few of the items above come from John Lewis, Boden and Jaeger. My readership is about 70% US so I tend to get complaints either way. If you see something you particularly like sent me an email and I will try to find an equivalent.
