For October’s Style Not Age theme were showcasing autumn shades. Hilda chose the prompt, a nice simple one. I’m currently in Madeira where it’s always spring-like. Well actually, it’s very rainy at the moment. We had a decent day yesterday at the lido but the rest of the week looks very unsettled. I think it’s going to be a week of museums and shopping! It’s Pete’s birthday today but we’re going out for a meal tomorrow evening as the restaurant we want to go to is closed on Mondays.

Autumn shades of rich orange and neutrals work in a warm climate as well as a cool one

It was difficult to know what to pack because it’s breezy and showery, but still warm. I jettisoned a few dresses at the last minute in favour of jumpsuits. This one is an old one that I bought in a charity shop for £6. I’ve taken it on many holidays and I never tire of it. Autumn shades of rich orange and neutrals work in a warm climate as well as a cool one. Leopard print and metallics are my favourite way to wear neutrals as I’m allergic to plain ‘ol beige!
