Suede Coat

Suede Coat

I never really got the opportunity to wear 70s fashion way back in the 1970s. Firstly I was in school and following that a poor college student.  A pair of pink flares and a paisley patterned, crimplene, maxi dress, complete with lime green hood are the sum total of my seventies fashion.IMG_4019

So when I saw a faux suede coat in Marks and Spencers at the weekend, I had to have it. Reduced from €120 to €99, it was too inviting to leave behind.IMG_4009

It is a little big (there was no size 10 in Henry Street) but here it is anyway, styled two different ways. It is the perfect casual coat to wear with boots over jeans, but I think looks equally good teamed over a dress with these lovely leopard-print shoes from Dune (these are not this season, but I saw that they have practically the same style and print in stock this year both in Arnotts and Debenhams). It might even be possible to wear it on its own as a dress if it fits you well.

    să nu crezi că răspunsul e „da, tu în articol” pentru că întrebarea mea era mai degrabă ceva de genul „cine spune că evoluÈ›ia este un motiv pentru a fi necredincios?”. Asta ca să evităm un schimb de replici inutil.

Do you have a favourite mascara? I flit about fr Do you have a favourite mascara?

 I flit about from one product to another but @Maybelline is the brand I re-purchase on a regular basis.
Fun fact: One Maybelline mascara is sold every 7 seconds

Why? Because they are reasonably priced and they deliver #greatlashes

It was the paisley pattern and the colour that dre It was the paisley pattern and the colour that drew me to this dress from @charisma_fashions_ 
I had a paisley crimplene maxi way back in the70s. Still have it. Any of you remember crimplene? 

Anyway this dress brought me back in time. I cinched it in with a vintage  leather belt I have from 1979. 
Managed to keep it hidden from @courtneysmithstyle who I am joining in her #fashionablyfriday series.

I did wear it on a Friday a few weeks ago😂😂

Trying out some white docs from @charisma_fashions_ and they are very comfy and a little different than my usual style. But I don't want to get stuck in a rut. I like experimenting. Do you?

Made from the softest organic cotton, it is perfect for layering up in our Irish weather.

I found it online @charisma_fashions_
a boutique in Charleville Co Cork. And there is more on the blog from this boutique. Affordable labels (some new to me) and wonderful accessories that will not break the bank. Shopping my wardrobe for the rest. 

Have a lovely Easter Monday everyone.

Jumper and jeans are dressing up for me at present Jumper and jeans are dressing up for me at present.  Jumper is Zara. Jeans are from @paulasmalahide.  Same as my last post. Reasonably priced and a great fit. 

 You may notice the @lilyobriens chocolates on the table.  Truly scrumptious. GG bought them for me because he knows how much I love them. And dark chocolate is good for me and is a mood enhancer. And we all need a little help at the moment. Trying to stay calm and positive but it is difficult.

It does look a little out of control but sure I love that tousled look!!😂 Cannot wait to get back to @crowstreetcollective and @darren_csc

Always fun seeing the world through my grandchildren's eyes. Logan was fascinated by the shape of this tree @malahide_castle  and had to get closer to examine it. 
Hope you all get out to enjoy St Patrick's Day in the expected good weather tomorrow. And stay safe!

 I know that the current fashion is to wear these shorter than I have. But I prefer wearing them with heeled boots @carl_scarpa, just skimming the ground.
