What I’m wearing lately✨

I’ve listed everything below that’s still current or similar.

Layering season is here and the good news is… you probably already own most of what you need.
Start with your wardrobe staples — shirts, tees and lightweight knits — and begin layering them together in new ways.
If you’re missing a piece or two that makes layering easier (think a great oversized shirt, half-zip knit or lightweight turtleneck), I’ve added a few of my favourites below.

And a little stylist tip — there’s no need to spend a fortune on great knitwear or basics. I’ll always point women towards UNIQLO, Assembly Label and COS. They’re on trend, beautifully made, and still very reasonable price-wise.

#LTKstyletip #LTKover50style #LTKaustralia

Four autumn trends I’m getting behind as a midlife stylist.

Not because they’re “fashion trends”… but because they actually work.

Balloon pants
Funnel neck jackets
V-neck sweaters
And flat shoes forever.

I’m wearing EU in Massimo Dutti balloon pants but should have sized down. I normally wear AU10.

#LTKover50style #LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia

This butter yellow blouse has got me thinking up all kinds of looks …

One of my favourite brands, Nobody’s Child … great quality and value. True to size.

Stylist tip: once the weather starts to cool, reach for a great coat and these are the ones I’ve been loving …
the perfect throw-on layers that instantly elevates even the simplest outfit.

Next AU true to size, COS true to size.

#LTKautumn #LTKaustralia #LTKover50style

One blazer. Five ways.
Proof that a great blazer does all the heavy lifting.

#LTKstyletip #LTKaustralia #LTKover50style

The ultimate transeasonal layer.

#LTKover50style #LTKaustralia #LTKstyletip

A suit doesn’t have to feel formal… it just needs the right styling.

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKstyletip

A blazer over a silk dress… the perfect finishing touch.

This single-breasted oversized blazer?
The perfect shade for the season. Goes with absolutely everything.

The key to wearing lace in midlife, keep it simple.

I’m wearing a Zara cami (sold out) but Mango & Dissh very similar, below. My tshirt is Assembly Label, a great length for layering x

My favourite lace pieces below❤️

#LTKaustralia #LTKover50style #LTKautumn

The trench coat in 2026 is far more relaxed and effortless than it used to be. Looser, softer, easier to wear. Just throw it on and don’t overthink it.

These are my favourites this year. Buy early in the season and get the wear out of it for months xx

#LTKautumn #LTKover50style #LTKaustralia

How to do knitwear in 2026.

Not cheap. Not luxury. Just thoughtful, intentional pieces that elevate your wardrobe without complicating it.

My favourite knitwear below.🧶 I’m always going to put UNiQLO at the top of the list. It’s just good quality, style and price. Try here before you look anywhere else. I wear a Medium or Large.

Athleisure in midlife, done right 🤎

I’m wearing a Small in Firebird pants but can easily wear a Medium also. Very comfortable and flattering on tummy.

Wearing a Size 10 in Assembly Tshirt.
