Liven up your wardrobe with prints

To keep my “eye in” I have been popping into the shops recently to check out the new Spring/Summer collections just arriving. I noticed many of the brands have a wide range of both floral and graphic prints in their ranges.

They looked very fresh and are an ideal way to keep your wardrobe up to date between seasons. They can be worn with leggings or trousers with a T shirt or thermal vest, worn underneath while the weather is still cold, and with jeans when the weather is a little warmer.

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 am very careful with prints, I feel that so many of them scream "old lady with no fashion sense". And I don't want to look like I've just stepped out of the 70's.

  Hi Rita
  
  I agree you have to choose prints that work for you. Personally I don't look good in florals, even though they can look good on certain women, however I can wear the abstract and the graphic. I am definitely not going back to the "flower power" days of the 70s.

Beautiful examples! I'm going to check my closet this week for lurking prints. I'm sure they're in there somewhere.
