Denim Directions with ‘Style Not Age’

My friends from ‘Style Not Age’ and I are bringing you denim this month.  We decided we need to bring you some normality.

In Ireland, Graham and I have been in self-isolation for two weeks. We have seen our family from a distance. More restriction came in two days ago and now we can only walk within two kilometres of our home. We can shop for food and medicines. These are scary times, but we will get through this. We will get through it, if we all do what we are asked.

Unlike our brave men and women looking after the sick and in essential services, I am not asked to do anything except stay at home. I can do that.

When it comes to denim I mostly stick to jeans.  It is always about fit and I find Zara high-waisted skinny jeans fit me very well and they appear every year in the store. In the next two photos below you can see the same pair worn in different ways. I am shopping my wardrobe for everything.

DENIM JEANS

Denim jeans

 

casual spring look

The Diesel pair below are 13 years old and my daughter brought them back from Miami for me. They are well worn and extremely comfortable. The shirt is a few years old from The Bias Cut, a beautifully curated online company. You may remember Gail and I did a photo shoot with them a few years ago. And Emma modelled for their catalogue last year.

And how did my friends from ‘Style Not Age’ get on?

Gail (who picked this month’s theme) looks amazing in her new denim dress. And what about those pink accessories? Pop over to isthismutton to learn more

Anna, who is isolating on The Scilly Isles where she lives, is cutting a dash in her ensemble. You can find out more at annasislandstyle.

Jacqui, who blogs under mummabstylish, has donned a new boiler suit and looks ready to take on the world.

Emma wears a versatile denim jacket with bright pink and animal print accessories to brighten up your day. Check out her blog at thestylesplash

Stay safe my friends in these strange times. If you are like me, you are in leggings and comfy tops every day. But we will get back to normality, we will put on our denim jeans, (hopefully they will still fit me) again. We will hug our family, meet friends for coffee, eat out in restauarants.  We will be ok.

Love Hilda xx

    You can’t beat a pair of good skinny jeans and a fair few of us will be wearing them constantly during “The Awfulness.” Wise words Hilda, we just have to make the best of the situation. It won’t be forever.

    Hilda, I love all of your denim looks! I have a bit of an obsession with jeans and probably own 150 different pairs. Eek. That’s a lot! Stay safe and healthy!

    Dark blue skinny jeans are my favourite style too, they look smart and you can dress them up or down. This theme prompted me to go through all of my jeans and I actually discovered some I’d forgotten about! Stay safe!

    I love this stylish look on you Hilda. It’s everyday wear and works so well with your figure. This is such a strange time for us all, but I agree with you about how very simple it is for us just to stay home. My heart goes out to all of the NHS workers who risk everything day in, day out.

    Hilda,

    This a strange time in our world but I enjoy seeing you and the girls styling your denim.
    I am like you where I only see the children on FaceTime since we’re practicing social distancing.
    I am pretty sure we will have limit outdoor time but for now, I am enjoying my long walks with my dog and talking to our neighbors who are out and about walking too. (6 feet apart of course!)

    We’re in this together!
    Hugs,
    Robin

Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tda Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tdactiveholidays 2024 brochures with new initiatives and destinations. Get planning now with the best in #guided travel. Don't leave it too late. Practically nothing left this year.
Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not A Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not Age'! I may not have crushed it but I did do some damage to my fingers. Hence splints and red bandages.Yes rushing about and tripped ...luckily only on grass or it could have been worse. It might have been my teeth!

Anyway back to the outfit. I had to borrow a crochet top and bag from my friend @marie.sweeney4. And they look amazing with my suit bought from @studio124dublin and hat @wallaroohatsuk (old)

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
I love a small bag for walking and shopping and this beauty in top quality leather comes in a variety of colours. 
And yes it came home with me!

Shopped my wardrobe for the rest.

Orange you glad the sun is back at last! Love the Orange you glad the sun is back at last! 
Love the colour of this linen shirt and it is always packed for sun holidays, because of its versatility.

 Years old and bought @paulasmalahide.  Here it acts as a cover up over a swimsuit in Dubrovnik. Also love the colour and roominess of the Yoko bag @absolutely_patsy. 
Sunnies  and slides @tkmaxxie.
Let's hope the good weather stays. I might even venture into the Irish sea!😂

'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month' 'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month's 'Style Not Age'! And I did not realise it was an album by The Sparks back in 1974. 🫢
That was the year I did my Leaving Cert exams so maybe that is why it passed me by. But I do like kimonos. 
Love the paisley pattern and have no idea where I got it. Check out my friends @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish.
