How to style a fresh and cheerful feminine top

How to style a fresh and cheerful feminine top. I am loving the Spring/Summer colours this year. They are so fresh, feminine and cheerful. Plenty of my favourite hues, pinks, blues and lilac plus oranges and reds if you have warm colouring. I feel that we need some happy colours after the dark winter months when we mostly lived in our dark neutrals. There are also some lovely touches of feminity in the styling. Broderie Anglaise, lace and frills.

HopeFashionuk has tapped into this vibe and produced some lovely soft feminine pieces in their Spring collection. The top that I am wearing above is their Borderie back cotton top.

These new feminine tops work wonderfully with casual trousers now that we are going out and meeting people for coffee or a garden lunch. I would recommend keeping your outfit simple and let the top do the talking. Here I have teamed it with the HopeFashion comfort trouser in denim. Add a pair of white plimsols and you are ready to go.

Disclaimer: I borrowed this top for photography purposes and it has been returned but I have a feeling that it will be winging its way back to me shortly.

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.
