How to style a cool tunic in hot weather

How to style a cool tunic for the hot weather. All I can say is that it continues to be very hot here in Grimaud. Light breezy clothes are essential. I picked up this pink linen tunic/dress in Zara just before I came out here. I don’t often buy from Zara but this was in the sale and I loved the colour. I am wearing it here on its own but it looks just as good teamed with a pair of slim white trousers.

I found a similar style at Cos in pale blue, white and tan. It is now reduced in their sale from £79.00 to £55.30. Also a longer version in light pink and navy reduced from £89.00 to £62.00

These photos were taken by my friend Dee. As well as the outfit we wanted to show you some of the pretty back streets of the village. It is looking really magnificent at the moment with the flowers in full bloom.

The white trainers I am wearing above are from Fitflop (similar). I cant remember where I got the beach bag from probably St.Tropez market. The hat I bought in the market when I first arrived here.

Here I have swapped my white trainers for a pair of slides also from Fitflop. I love them. They are so comfortable and ideal for the beach. They come in three other colours and are water-resistant.

We are off to Grasse this Sunday. I have never been before so am very excited. I hope that the lavender is still blooming.

I will be taking photos during my trip so do follow me on Instagram for a preview.

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.
