Shop your closet – blue linen coat

Continuing my series shop your closet. This week I have teamed a blue linen coat with a pair of white linen trousers. Blue and white is one of my favourite colour combinations for summer. I feel it mirrors the softness of a blue sky interspersed with fluffy white clouds. A perfect outfit for an english summer’s day.

I am wearing a three quarter linen coat, a pair of wide leg white trousers and white linen top. I have added a touch of colour with a bright blue/pink silk scarf.

I shall keep an eye out for a winter coat in a similar colour. Maybe in a soft merino wool.

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 just wish I had some forgotten gems in my closet to recycle to create such a lovely look!

  Hi Bon
  I do buy quite carefully and keep the pieces I love for many years. They are not always very expensive items. In this case the blue coat is from Zara and is three years old
