I am so lucky in that I live near Richmond Park in south-west London. The royal park has wide open spaces, grasslands and deer herds. If you are visiting the UK it is not that far from central London and is well worth a visit. You can stop off for a cup of tea or coffee at Pembrooke Lodge and enjoy distant views of St. Paul’s cathedral form King Henry’s Mound.

On a sunny Autumn day, there is nothing I like better than to walk in the park. Here I am wearing one of my favourite colours “candy pink” from one of my favourite brands WinserLondon.I am wearing their wool/cashmere boyfriend jumper with matching ruffle scarf. They are so soft, warm and cosy.

I am also trying out their classic two-way stretch jeans. I was not sure if they would work for me as I have a tricky figure when it comes to jeans. I have tested a few brands recently but they were sadly all returned. These ones really work. They are very comfortable and as they are made from a similar fabric to their leggings, which wash and wear well, should last for several years.

These gorgeous photos were taken by my friend and fellow blogger Julie of Jafinthebox. Do visit her blog she covers fashion, food, travel and even products to keep your house sparkling clean.

I don’t seem to have much time to sit and watch the world go by these days so this morning in the sunshine was a real treat.

Disclaimer: This is not a sponsored post. I purchased the sweater, however, I was lent the jeans to try out. They have stayed with me.

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.

  • Lovely outfit. My son lives in Balham so we go down to Richmond Park and the town. Lovely part of the world and so near central London. Keep up the great blogs., us older ladies need them!

  • Thanks for all your lovely comments. This is certainly one of my favourite sweaters this season. The colour cheers me up on a dull winters day.

  • Lovely sweater and colour! And thanks for the recommendation - the park looks fab and will be on my itinerary next autumn when I visit for the Anglo-Saxon exhibit at the BL.

  • That's a wonderful shade of pink on you, Josephine. I love Winser London too and have several of their jumpers but i am now going to try their jeans as they look very good. Many thanks, as always!

  • What a lovely neighborhood you live in, Josephine. Fortunate you! BTW, I think pink is *your* color! :)
