New addition to my wardrobe a classic linen jacket

New addition to my wardrobe a classic linen jacket.

These photos were taken during the last day of our recent trip to Grimaud. The weather had just started to show signs of Spring and early Summer. On a recent trip to St.Tropez I fell for this lovely pale blue linen jacket at the Benetton shop situated in one of the narrow back streets of the village. I loved the colour and reckon that it will fit well into my summer wardrobe. It looks lovely teamed with my very old classic white jeans, a plain white tee and white sneakers.

I reckon that my new blazer will go just as well with black and navy if I want to ring the changes. In the photo above I have added a navy shopper. This was a present from my friend in South Africa. I have found similar below.

I thought I would check through my old blog posts and my last blue linen jacket which I originally bought from Zara wore out a few years ago.

My scarf was originally from St,Tropez market a few years ago.

Thank you for all your well wishes. I am currently having lots of physio and my new hip is progressing slowly.

Chicatanyage

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.

  • You look lovely in this soft blue, Josephine. I agree that it's a versatile color, and can be styled with so many other pieces. Sadly, the Benetton closest to me closed down during Covid, and I really miss it. I hope you're feeling a little better each day!

    • Hi Bren
      Benetton have a good website so you could always order on line. Luckily we still have a branch in Kingston

  • Hi Josephine, that is such a lovely blue on you and it looks so lovely! Glad to hear your new hip is working well and you are on the mend.

  • You look lovely in that pale blue! I find that shade pairs with so much too… so glad you are feeling better too !

  • Lovely jacket, the colour suits you well. And the bag adds to the outfit. Good luck with the hip, I had mine done a few years ago.

  • Lovely jacket, lovely colour, suits you very well. Hope you are feeling better each day.

  • This pale blue colour is perfect on you. So feminine and elegant. I too am recovering from a joint replacement so I can emphasize with what you are going through.
