Update your look with vibrant Spring colour

How to update your wardrobe for Spring – Add a delicate yet vibrant shade of orchid pink, reminiscent of cherry blossom.

This BlueMarmalade sweater is a perfect Spring colour to add to your sweater collection. It is extremely flattering and is an excellent shade if you are a “glamours grey” or thinking of joining the trend to become one.

The sumptuous easy V neck style has a wide cut which gives it a relaxed feel. The crop front and longer back is flattering and feminine and together with the orchid pink gives the look an understated softness, The sweater is made from lambswool, cotton and cashmere blend. I always read fabric labels as I have become extremely fussy about fabric quality. I find that it is always worthwhile to invest in the best quality you can afford.

In the first image I have teamed the sweater with a pair of casual wide leg jersey trousers. It would go just as well with a pair of leggings.

Have a great week-end and if you have some cherry blossom left where you live enjoy its beauty.

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.

You look fabulous from head to toe. I too love natural fibres - they last longer, breathe and don't irritate my skin. Definitely worthwhile investments.
Warm regards.

Love these comfortable and casual yet stylish looks!

Thank you for your kind comment - great to hear you are doing pilates twice a week. So good to stick to a workout routine, isn't it?
