How to dress a cream top for day and evening

Last week-end we spent Saturday with friends in the beautiful Nottinghampshire countryside. On Sunday we travelled to Derbyshire and booked into the Cavendish Hotel, Baslow. This traditional and elegant hotel is part of the Chatsworth Estate.

I was glad I had just bought this lovely cream top from Hopefashion. It packs like a dream and is a versatile piece. It can be worn during the day. Then add a pair of skinny black trousers by MeandEm and black heels for a more dressy look. MeandEm currently have 30% off selected items. I have accessorised my outfit with several strings of pearls twisted together similar. For a different look you can tuck the underneath layer inside the trousers. This works particularly well with wide trousers. The cream top is currently in the HopeFashion sale. Original price £65.00 reduced to £32.50. A great 50% reduction so I bought one in black as well. Hope do ship internationally.

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.

Such a pretty top! I love the layered effect, and also how you've arranged your necklace.
