We are in the middle of a heatwave in my part of the world and for me as far as dressing goes I like to keep it simple. I am not one to wear floaty maxis ,( although I admire them on others) or head to toe white so my simple choice was black in light fabrics.
I have recently read Know Your Style by Alyson Walsh ,a fashion journalist and founder of the blog That’s Not My Age. In her book Alyson talks about practising style , of working at what we wear until it’s perfect. I know I enjoy playing in my closet and combining the old and new in different ways adding accessories as I go. I find this both a calming therapy and a creative outlet . I am convinced that the reason older women have their own sense of style is both because of all those years of practice and the freedom to be themselves,
Today’s simple outfit consists of a black boat neck tee from Paula Ryan, silk pants from Maude Dainty , a couple of bangles and leopard patent cuban heel sandals.
A cool change is forecast for later in the week so I am hoping to get back to my preferred layers.
Raffy decided to get in on the act while we were taking photos in my parched garden, adding the white to my black.
