Shakara’s shopping surprise at Black Pepper

It’s really hard to look great in winter. Usually I have to put layer upon layer to keep these senior bones warm!

At first, I wasn’t expecting clothes in Black Pepper to be very useful in winter. However, as a member of the Starts at 60 community, I was lucky enough to be chosen as a guest blogger and get a $200 gift voucher to go into our local Albury store, try on clothes and have some fun taking photos.

Well – what an enjoyable experience! The saleswoman, Dianne, was so helpful. She had a knack for putting great outfits and combinations together quickly.

The first outfit was a beautiful pine with midnight trim casual coat. I found it to be very warm and I knew this would be a great addition to anybody’s wardrobe.  Even better: our store had 30 percent off certain items, and this was one of them!

Micro Fibre Jacket (BA43787) – RRP $129, Sale Price $89

Now I had my casual coat, I set out to complete the outfit from the racks. This time I wore a pair of 7/8 length jeans and they had a stretch waist band. Perfect for middle age spread! I teamed it with a powder blue skivvy, and a twilight vest coat.

Vests – from RRP $49
Skivvy Winterlock (BA405) – RRP $29
Heritage Mid-Weight Denim Pants (BA444) – RRP $79.95

Again, the vest coat was very warm and the outfit looked great. I could even imagine I was wearing it on my wish list cruise!

Next was a black and beige jumper teamed with another 7/8 length pants this time black and not jeans. I thought I’d have a bit more fun modelling this outfit:

Kayla Top – RRP $99.95
Bi Stretch Slim 7/8 Pants – RRP $69.95

A top then caught my attention and we proceeded to put another outfit together. I already had the pants on so a multicolored top and another jacket and this time Dianne got in on the fun. As you can see, shopping in these comfortable clothes is easy!

Neka Jersey Top (BA47364) – RRP $69.95
Lambton Jacket (BA43747) – RRP $119

Then it was my time to play, I saw a top that reminded me of one I had many years ago. It was an animal print so I transformed into a cat for my last shot!

In the end I chose a skivvy in orange (my favourite colour), the warm pine casual coat, and a reversible vest. I am a convert to the great, comfortable clothes that Black Pepper stocks, and will be giving gift vouchers at Christmas to my friends.
