I was pleased to hear that brown, caramel and beige shades are in because it gives me the chance to dust off my old "Rupert Bear" trousers and style them in a modern way.
These trousers are probably the oldest garment I have - I bought them in the early 1990s. I thought at the time they were like the Oxford bags that David Bowie was wearing in the Hunky Dory era.
I like the combination of brown and white so wore my white bouclé jacket from summer 2018 and my white ankle boots from last winter.
What brings the outfit bang up-to-date is the top and the necklace. Thin sweaters/jumpers made of a fine fabric with a soft "mock neck" are trending so much on Asos they have an entire section devoted to them. The mock neck is lower and looser than a polo neck, and not generally turned over.
Mine, from All Saints, has a fine lurex stripe through it.
Mega coin necklaces are another hot trend. You can either create your own by layering different necklaces, or
buy one ready layered, as I did for just £25. It's a great necklace for adding drama to plain or dark backgrounds.

Last week's most clicked was Michelle from Fifty and Fab, with her thoughtful post:
Decluttered and Conscious Christmas Gifting Ideas. I love the idea of giving people experiences rather than more "stuff."
I like this current trend for turtlenecks and layered necklaces. I think one of my oldest pieces that goes on and on is a black tailored jacket.
