The thing that really saddens me is that, this time round, I really feel too old to wear my beloved Punk Royal Khaki's. I bought these, I think from Choice in Bluewater, probably about 7 or 8 years ago, I really can't remember, but if any of you do, let me know. I remember Kylie Minogue
wearing a pair in a magazine at the time.
I also have these. Definitely from Choice, I remember that they were £120 which was quite a lot at the time. They have "Easy Rider" written on the bum and have various designs on the legs, they come from the Maharishi era.
I would love to wear both of these trousers (although I doubt they still fit and am too scared to try them on) with heels this time round, I would choose my tan sandals from Hobbs.
The only problem is, I am feeling my age, and have decided that, what you can wear at 40 is a completely different ball game to what you feel comfortable in, at say, 47. I loved the "Spring Haul" post by fortynotout and totally adore every item she bought and the way she has put her outfits together but sadly I don't feel I could wear any of it. Not even the gorgeous Topshop wedges and you all know what a shoe freak I am. I don't believe it is a confidence thing but do believe it is a "Mutton" thing.
At my 40th Birthday Party, I actually had my midriff on display (it was flat then, I am now a couple of stone heavier) but even if I had the same figure now, would I be wearing that same outfit? The answer is most certainly "NO". I also wonder if a lot of how I feel is because of the age of my daughters. You can't really walk around in the same clothes as your 20, 18 or 17 year old offspring can you? and I know for a fact they would all wear fortynotout's great suede Topshop shoes! If I only had 9 year old little man, would I feel younger and more carefree about my outfit choices?
So if like me, you are looking to tap into this trend, then how about this fab lightweight Parka, £45 from Marks and Spencer
Or if funds permitting, for a bit of class, I would choose this Green Silk Trench Jacket, £300, by Twenty8Twelve at my-wardrobe.com Or this cotton one by Tory Burch
£315 from net-a-porter.
I may no longer be able to wear my old trousers as they look, sadly, destined for that ebay place in the sky, but am determined to rock a Utility jacket.
Will you be buying anything Khaki this season?
