Wearing Purple in Summer

& Wow On Wednesday

Gail Hanlon from over-50s style blog Is This Mutton in purple and soft white

Dear friends. Regular readers will know I'm quite keen on the colour purple. I make no excuses for sharing a purple outfit that's ideal for the cooler summer weather we're experiencing in the UK right now.

It looks like a dress but that's the clever thing about separates, and why I love them. I'm wearing a purple shade called Lobelia from Kettlewell: the Darcey top and ruched skirt. 

I'm very pleased with the colour which is a lovely deep bluey purple. 

To dress up the look for an evening out I've added a Kettlewell short tie wrap in soft white, chandelier earrings from M&S, current, and white sandals (old).

Just a quick post today as I've been away and only got back last night.  We spent a few days in Devon and went to my nephew's wedding near Plymouth. 

There's another post tomorrow with the monthly Tell Us About challenge, and on Friday I'm back with the month's books round-up and #whatsbeenonyourbookshelf. Hope you'll pop back.

  1. Devon in summer sounds so wonderful. I hope to go more to the west one day. Purple looks very good on you, I also like it a lot combined with lilac. Thank you so much for the feature, I feel honoured!
