Sequin trousers worn casually

Following my previous post “Sequins to sparkle day and night”I have had a couple of requests to show how you can wear a pair of sequin trousers more casually. I could have teamed these trousers from Hopefashionuk with a matching sequin top. However I decided to mix things up a bit. I chose my cream tie-neck blouse (only large sizes left) (similar) worn under my bright pink cashmere poncho.

I love ponchos. I find that they are a great way to keep warm and to add colour near the face.

They also make ideal travelling companions. Whenever I travel I have one tucked into my carry on case, aeroplane cabins can be distinctly chilly at times. If travelling by car they can be rolled up into a ball and used as a pillow for a snooze on a long journey. Provided of course you are the passenger and not the driver.

My pink poncho was a gift from Hopefashionuk when they first launched about five years ago. If you have warm colouring they have a lovely bright yellow cashmere wrap that works in a similar way to a poncho, also a boiled wool blanket poncho in deep amber (currently reduced from £110 to £66).

Disclaimer: The black sequin trousers I am wearing were borrowed for photography and have been returned.

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.
