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

A few minutes later I was nearly swept off the balcony by high winds and there had been torrential rain earlier.

Love how perfume just like literature can transpor Love how perfume just like literature can transport you to other places.

The top notes of Italian Bergamot, Grapefruit from Florida and Tunisian Orange Blossom in @storiesparfums No01 fragrance is both suggestive and enticing!

I am a fan of a citrus blend because it is so fresh and we love that it is unisex too. Both GG and I like it though it is entirely different on each of us. Usually I rob his razor to shave my legs ...now I can rob his scent too.

The ethos of the brand is also commendable with its commitment to sustainability. And that is only part of the story.
Much to love! Check it out www.storiesparfums.com

When your drink matches your accessories life is g When your drink matches your accessories life is good!  Taken on our weekend in Porto in May @travel_department.  Sunnies @tkmaxxie Bag @orlakiely and hat @wallaroohatsuk. The hat folds easily and emerges from case perfect.  None of these are new purchases!

 Now getting excited about our river cruise with them on part of the Danube in a few weeks time. What to pack? It is always a dilemma. Anyone got any tips?

Wishing I was back in Porto with @travel_departmen Wishing I was back in Porto with @travel_department. Pic taken on steps of Casa da Musica, which was just around the corner from our hotel. Shopped my wardrobe. Must mention the @hottershoes which are years old and fabulous for walking. Love my @orlakiely  bag also years old. Hope that the sun is shining wherever you are.  Not sure what the weather holds for us today in Ireland.  Won't be holding my breath. Blog post up on some good books.

Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @trav Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @travel_department and still the best part of two days left to explore. Would you believe we walked 14 km yesterday and some of it was up and down hills like this? Boy did we sleep well last night! Porto has surprises around every corner.  And it is a very accessible city. Cannot wait to tell you all about it. Have you been? Looking for  a recommendation for a restaurant for tonight or tomorrow lunch time. We are in the Boa Vista area but can taxi.

What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @s What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @selectedireland. Is it a gilet? I have no idea. But it is perfect for our Irish weather. Love how it dips at the back too.
Plenty of room to layer up underneath. Leggings are my old favourites @peachyleanofficial. And my runners are @asics. I find they give super support.

Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Classics never date do they? And in Ireland it is always advisable to have a coat of some kind, whatever the season. 
Happy Friday everyone. Looks like being another beautiful Spring day here.
