Pastels for summer and early autumn

I know it might seem counter intuitive to buy a pastel pink jacket at this time of year. Our thoughts are beginning to orientate towards deeper autumnal hues. The first batch of the new seasons styles begin to hit the shops. However here are some reasons this strategy may not be as strange as it first appears.

In the photos I have teamed this pink jacket is by Winserlondon. Now in their sale (reduced from £125 to £79). The jacket is a thick stubby cotton. In my minds eye I can imagine wearing it with black or navy in September. Perhaps even into October depending on the weather.

It is a useful travel piece and is likely to accompany me when I return to France the second week of September.

I have teamed it here with white jeans and a white top.

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.

Love it. Pale pink is now one of my favourite wardrobe colours - it goes so beautifully with white and grey.

I bought the short waffle textured pink jacket by Winser and love it! Have worn it over long stripey dresses and capris. Xx

That long jacket would be gorgeous with brown--I just love pink and brown together--or grey, going into the fall and perhaps early winter. Hunter green or a deep purple, too. I would own this and wear it three quarters of the year, if I could.

Thanks for all your lovely comments.
Purple and hunter green are very "in" colours this so I might try them. If I wear brown it needs to be a cool version otherwise it is a bit too draining for my colouring.
