February is a very tricky time of year style-wise. We are all a bit fed up with the cold. As I look out of my window I can see the first signs of colour appearing in our communal gardens. Spring is just around the corner.
I think that the answer is to add a touch of colour to our outfits. It could simply be the addition of a scarf, a brightly coloured handbag or a pair of your favourite coloured shoes. Alternatively, you could invest in one of the new colourful coats and jackets beginning to appear in the shops.
Above I have put together an outfit in a cool colour palette. These include some of my favourite pinks and purples. The Hopefashionuk purple sweater is reduced in their sale. I have one myself and it is beautifully soft. You can see me wearing it here.

For those of you with warm colouring, the above may spark some ideas of how to put together winter outfits to wear in February.

I am housebound with a knee injury at the moment so having these colourful wardrobe choices to look at on a very gray day is a real treat. I have auburn hair and brown eyes with pale skin, so thank you for including lots of ‘warm’ choices,
I am so glad I found your website. It’s exactly what I have been looking for! I am 70 years old and I have always wanted to look my best no matter where I am going or what I am doing or even staying at home, as we currently are. I love the links to specific items. I previously belonged to a paid subscription for fashion advice but found it to be too repetitive and geared to younger women. I look forward to seeing you on Facebook and receiving emails. It looks like you do updates monthly which is perfect! Thank you so much!
