Sales

Summer sales 2018 are in full swing

Summer sales are in full swing at the moment. Some of them started early in the season due to the late start of Summer. it is not too late to grab a few bargains as many of the brands continually add new stock to their selections. Plus quite a few are discounting by as much as 60% at this stage.

I have not had much time this year to peruse the sales as I have been too busy. However the last couple of days I have had a quick look and have added a couple of items to my Summer wardrobe.

My general rules for sale shopping are to buy styles that you know suit your figure and your lifestyle. You can never really go wrong with a classic blazer or neutral pair of trousers. I tend to fill gaps in my wardrobe and replace worn out tee shirts and tops.

Another strategy I employ is to buy forward, either a seasonless item or a style I can wear at the beginning of Autumn.

Alternatively, if you have not yet completed your holiday shopping this might be a good opportunity to add a couple of last-minute pieces such as swimsuits and kaftans.

For my UK readers, John Lewis has started their clearance sale. Always a good hunting ground for bedlinen, pots and pans and electrical goods. I like to take advantage of the discounts and replace worn out household items in their sale.

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 do like some of these ,Josephine..

I have quite a few of the above items: well they are classics. Wide trousers, for me, are a no no. .

Is it possible to buy a Breton shirt with a V neck, do you know? I

Hi Mary

I have not seen any Bretons with V necks but I will keep a look out.
