What to wear to an open air opera on a summers evening

We spent a glorious evening at the Holland Park Opera recently and for once it was sublimely hot so I had an opportunity to wear my lighter weight linens, often a rarity in an English summer. As the nights begin to slowly set in it is probably the last few weeks of wearing our summer clothes before our minds turn to Autumn wardrobes. I know we are advised to “shop forward” before all the best pieces disappear but personally I refuse to contemplate “wooly” outfits just yet and intend to enjoy the moment.

Are you planning your winter wardrobes now or do you wait till the weather turns?
I’m over at visible Monday. Check it out.
Thank you for reading. I really love to hear from you and appreciate the time you take to leave comments.

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.

  • The scarf is such a beautiful touch to a lovely outfit! As much as I want to hang on to summer, I do find myself being drawn to the Autumn fashions. My biggest challenge right now is finding something that looks summery enough for now, but will transition nicely into Fall.

  • I really like these airy linens, in summer white. I, too, wait for the weather to change before I can buy boots and sweaters : > You look lovely and thanks for sharing with Visible Monday!

  • You are fully engaged in the moment with your gorgeous summer ensemble. Your scarf is the perfect accent for a warm evening.

    However, I can't wait to wear my boots!

  • You look gorgeous...love your trousers...a cashmere poncho ideal for an english summer evening :-)
    Have a good week.

  • You.look.awesome! It's the perfect outfit for the occasion.
    I don't really plan (seasonally)ahead with my outfits, but sometimes happen upon something that'll have the wait...if I can only remember it when the weather changes!

  • Your outfit is very elegant. I love your scarf. In August, I start to think about what I can use from my closet and what I might need for fall.

  • So glad your summer has finally arrived and that you're making the most of it. That's certainly a lovely, easy outfit to enjoy it in! I'm saving and waiting for some specific fall purchases ... and trying NOT to fall for the first leather jacket that flirts with me this season.

  • Since "real" winter doesn't start here in FL until about Dec., I'm still in summer dress mode. You look very elegant.
