Ines de la Fressange and Uniglo

Many of you may well have read about Uniglo’s immensely popular collaboration with Ines on a capsule “summer wardrobe”.  As soon as the pieces hit their website many were sold out by lunchtime. By the time I logged on there was only a small selection left in strange sizes. Determined not to miss out entirely I took myself off to Westfield shopping centre last week, the day the range was delivered to the shops.

Joy of joy there was still quite a large selection on the racks when I arrived at about midday. So I grabbed some styles and headed for the changing rooms. The shirts and trousers, although very chic, did not suit my curvy figure. Ines herself has a very straight boy like shape.  However the jersey wrap dress ticked most of my boxes. It is a really interesting length, at least for me, as I like to cover my legs. I would say it is fairly clingy and not very forgiving of any lumps and bumps so good quality underwear is advised. It will be great for travelling and should pack like a dream. So at £19.90 it was a no- brainer.

It was a very breezy day and my skirt was blowing all over the place.

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.

  • Josephine that colour is lovely on you, funnily enough it's one of my favourites too even though I'm dark haired and olive skinned. Uniglo is coming to Australia to month.

  • YOU LOOK GORGEOUS in the dress and in the color!! I love this...and the style of the dress is so figure flattering. Beautiful photos!

  • You look wonderful in that dress. Blue is your color. Wish we had a uniglo shop here. I'll have to wait for them to restock the on-line store.

  • Love the colour but not sure about the length for me. At 5'4'' I have a feeling it might make me look shorter. It looks good on you though.

    • Hi Marilyn I think it would be quite easy to shorten and would look good just below the knee.

  • I like your look , the blue, especially with your hair looks great. I love to see people smiling too. Lovely sillouette. jess
