Shop your Wardrobe – Navy cotton

 

 

I have decided to do another series of “shop your wardrobe/closet”. It is that time of year again when the sales are coming to a close. You might still find some bargains at the Nordstromanniversarysale. Some sizes are now sold out but you never know you could find a “return” of an item you had your eye on.

Many of us are on holiday or planning one for the coming weeks. I am spending August in London. While it is quiet I can get on with tasks I have been putting off. I will also be spending time enjoying my grandchildren.

If you are organised and like planning ahead you may well have started sorting out next seasons purchases. I don’t seem able to get into the right mood till the season begins to change. As the French say “La rentre” starts at the beginning of September.

To stop myself from becoming bored of my summer wardrobe I have decided to mix it up  and experiment with new combinations over the coming weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

I have worn these Uniqlo trousers nearly every day this summer. This style is sold out however they have similar here. They wash well.  I am wearing them with an eyelet navy top also by Uniqlo (only small size left). They do come up quite large.  I have dressed the outfit with a hat, a classic bag by Modalu at John Lewis. Similar style ( lighter colour) reduced from £199 to £99.50 and a colourful scarf.

The beige shoes are by MandS. I popped in to buy some groceries and came out with as pair of shoes. Now sold out similar. I also found some similar styles at Nordstrom and JohnLewis.

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 love navy & the silhouette of this outfit too . Are those blue sketchers I see ? I have to be careful with mine - once I put them on I'm reluctant to wear any other shoes . So comfortable

  • Hi Wendy
    Yes they are sketchers. I agree they are so comfy however if I am doing a lot of walking I change into my more supportive lace up trainers as they don't give very much support.

  • I love blue, cotton and comfortable clothing. Your ensembo proves how one can look lovely and cozy at the same time. All it takes is a little coordination and and classic pieces.
