The one-and-done dress. A few followers have asked about this olive dress - which is from the latest sale at Soeur. I love cotton poplin for summer meetings and special events, and often wear a shirt dress. But for our increasingly hot weather I’ve been looking for something with a shorter, breezier sleeve…

I would describe myself as Colour Shy, always choosing navy and white over stronger shades, but the off-duty LRD (Little Red Dress) feels like a modern classic.

The dress I’m wearing is from small label Justine Tabak (sadly not on LTK) but here are some similar styles..

The classic shirt ’n’ skirt combo This perfect pairing is the epitome of easy summer style. Easy to recreate (most of us already have both items in our wardrobes) and universally flattering. Add a pair of lovely leather sandals and Bob’s your uncle, Fanny’s your aunt. Shirt. Skirt. Sandals. All you need to look pulled- together.

As a teenager, my first denim skirt was a DIY job that started life as a pair of baggy jeans. Who didn’t perform the jeans-to-skirt transformation?! In my latest subscriber feature I talk about revisiting old favourites, self-expression and what clothes mean to us.

Comfort is the most important thing - but what to wear when it’s burning hot? Extreme temperatures call for simple, summer dresses in relaxed shapes (unbelted, obvs) and natural fabrics.

Comfort is everything. No-one needs pinched toes, collapsed arches and an Uber dependency, just shoes you can walk in. Although it is hard to break the Birkenstock Arizona habit, and I do still wear them, a lot, the range of functional footwear available today is much-improved. There are other all-day options.

Sometimes you’ve got to try something new to revitalise your wardrobe. Always reaching for the same items, colours and silhouettes when you shop (your wardrobe) equates to knowing your style, but trying something different can introduce vitality and freshness.

Utility, field, barn, cargo, chore – there are many names for the versatile canvas jacket, and many different designs available. The one I’m wearing is a second-hand purchase from the French Workwear Company - it belongs to Mr That’s Not My Age, so technically I guess that makes it third-hand...

Circumnavigating all the supersized and balloon-like trousers on the high street, I found a pair that not only fit in the rise – I have an extra-long body and this is always a crotch-bothering issue – but are also a splendid colour and made in a beautiful cotton poplin fabric. These days I buy fewer clothes and I am really careful to only purchase items, both new and second-hand, that will add mileage to my wardrobe. Otherwise what’s the point? Anyhow, when I tried the new kecks on at home with my old checked tweed blazer I was reminded of the importance of balance and proportion...

I usually wear this outstanding vintage coat with neutrals, such as, black and camel. These colours tally with the print and tame it somewhat. Over the years, I've never paired The Beast with chocolate brown - and boy, have I missed out on a tasty combination.

At this time of year, I often turn to the navy knit. Some days a timeless classic is what you need. Keeping it simple and functional, no faffing.

If you need function, warmth and spend much of your time outdoors, the duvet coat has a practical appeal like no other. The cosiest of outers, mine is firmly back in action now that temperatures have dropped.

I bought this padded coat from Muji last year, but here are some alternative winter warmers, all available to shop right now.

Less heavy and heat-inducing than a big scarf, easy to stow in your bag and perfect for perking up a coat collar, it's no wonder that knitted neckerchiefs are everywhere, right now.

The burnt orange lambswool style I'm wearing here is from Margaret Howell, bought at Folk.

And here are some other winning knit-picks:

I've been spotting kilts everywhere recently. From Boden to Burberry, the Scottish stalwart is once again enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight. And though I can't claim to be even remotely Scottish, I'm delighted by their return.

Here are some of my favourite styles in the shops right now..

#LTKwinter #LTKover50style

One of my favourite styling tricks (current obsessions) is to bring on the beads. Layering a selection of strands together is an excellent way to liven up an everyday outfit and add some pizazz to plain necklines.

After years of stomping around in lug-soled hikers or black leather shit-kickers, I’ve gone back to chic, as opposed to chunky, ankle boots. Lately, I’ve been wearing the Tods Chelsea boots in the second photo (a sale bargain, years ago). Comfortable, polished and still pleasingly smart, they temper baggy cargo pants, and look the business dressed up with straight-leg, black jeans and a velvet jacket.

Step this way for more elegant boots you can walk in, and read the feature over on That’s Not My Age.

I am big fan of the tweed blazer but the blouson-style could be a new way to wear this beautiful fabric. It works for me...

Who doesn’t love a good pocket? The main reason I’m into utility jackets is because of the plethora of pockets. Enough room for hands, cards, keys and a mobile phone if you’re lucky. This belted style is a few seasons old from Weekend Max Mara, and is the perfect weight for October's transitional temperatures.

Here are some similar versions to shop right now.

#LTKautumn #LTKuk #LTKover50style

At this time of year, loafers offer the perfect bridge between Birkenstocks and boots, covering up a chipped, summer pedicure while allowing the wearer to remain footloose and sock-free. And this Autumn the slip-on shoe with enduring style is more popular than ever.

Birkenstock’s are iconic for a reason – they offer solid support and are hard to beat – and I do wear mine a lot. My black Eva's saw a lot of action on a recent holiday in France. So comfy to wear, this style is also waterproof making them the perfect choice for beach days.

While I’m never going to twin a handbag and shoes, I have mellowed on matchy-matchy and this summer I’m enjoying the co-ordinating set. I'm wearing an indigo pinstriped, organic cotton shirt and matching skirt (called in for the shoot) from Herd. But here are some other cool combos...

Unusually I have two wedding celebrations this summer, so I'm on the lookout for summer dresses with structure and status to wear for smarter work events and special events. This chocolate brown dress from Souer is a winner.

#LTKover50style #LTKsummer #LTKuk

This checked top in a winning olive green and pink check is from Boden. The perfect pull-on-and-go style for summer, the fabric has its own natural crinkle which looks lovely and might be acceptable to those who do not love linen like I do...

It's been put in the summer sales, but there are still a few sizes left!
