  3. Style inspiration over 50: Agatha Raisin

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Who inspires your style? While staying with my parents I was introduced to television programmes that I wouldn’t ordinarily watch – one was Agatha Raisin all about a PR guru turned sleuth who is in theory living a quiet life in the Cotswolds – until she steps into help solve the local murders. But….. it’s not the plot lines that interest me in this programme but Agatha’s fabulous wardrobe. Played by Ashley Jensen (who I remember from Ugly Betty) Agatha epitomises being stylish over 50. Her outfits render her far from being invisible over 50 . They are bright and colourful accessorised by her signature oversized handbags. No cross body bags for Agatha! ...

  4. Style over 50: What to Wear on a Staycation

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon However you define a  staycation whether you view at as taking day trips from your home, or simply taking a break in the UK, the British weather dictates that we have to be prepared for all eventualities. It might be warmer than the Mediterranean one day and cold and wet the next. I have pulled together some ideas of what to pack. I have also included some photos of me wearing clothes shopped from my own wardrobe for some additional ideas ?   Simple Black Midi Dress  £79 from Hush   A simple black midi...

  5. Best dresses to wear to a wedding or special occasion over 50

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon With so many weddings postponed over the last 18 months due to lockdown restrictions, weddings are finally able to take place- even if at the time of writing this singing and dancing are not allowed! So, the all important question – what to wear! I have come up with several options – all different price points. At a time when the emphasis is on sustainable fashion, I have selected a number of dresses at different price points which will be fabulous to wear at a wedding, but none are too formal so they are very wearable after the main event. Of course, if you really want to champion sustainability shop in your own wardrobe first and consider renting a...

  6. Can a Passion for Fashion lead to a new career if you’ve suffered a job loss during the pandemic?

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon We have been living through unprecedented times as the world has had to navigate the pandemic, with many experiencing job losses as a result. 813,000 jobs have disappeared since the start , 171,000 of those jobs are in retail which primarily affects women. Although retailers are now able to trade again, many familiar names have closed on the high street – a walk through my local town highlights many empty units with fashion and cosmetics seeming to take the brunt of closures. So what are the options for those looking for employment? I often talk about transferrable skills. Those who are used to working with the public generally have excellent communication skills that are well suited to a customer services environment and companies in financial...

  7. Style over 50: What to wear after lockdown ends – Adapting the trends

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Like most of us I have a wardrobe full of clothes I have not had the opportunity to wear in ages. My  smart , tailored clothes that I usually wear for face to face meetings have been consigned to the back of the wardrobe for the time being. My collection of blazers seem to have taken early retirement, my favourite duster jackets are hanging in the wardrobe just itching to be worn. My heels are feeling very neglected – although I do wear heels around the house for half an hour a week just to ensure that I don’t totally get out of the habit and to ensure that my feet don’t spread permanently . All these have been replaced with a...

  9. Style over 50: How to wear mixed prints over 50

    Comment
    Challenge set by Julia Rees It is so easy to get stuck in a rut in terms of we wear (and do!) over 50. Sometimes we just have to step out of our style comfort zone.  Julia’s latest challenge is to encourage us to try mixing prints – something I have to confess to never having done – in fact at one point in my life colleagues used to refer to me as ‘Miss Match’ as I took great care to ensure that everything I wore matched! The idea of wearing anything that competes or clashes is totally alien to me!  However now that lockdown means that I am working from home alone its an ideal time to experiment with...

  10. January Challenge: How to wear a statement coat to look fabulous over 50

    Comment
    Challenge set by Julia Rees What does the coat you wear say about you? Does it say fabulous or visible? We so often hear women say that they are made to feel invisible over 50, but one way to to be fabulous AND visible when out and about is to wear a statement coat.
