Check Me Out With Style Not Age

This month, my friends and I in ‘Style Not Age’ are featuring anything and everything check.

I love check and have featured many looks over the past few years. You may remember these trousers from Punt Roma, exclusive to Shaws Department Stores. They have got a lot of wear because they are so comfortable.  The eagle-eyed among you will see the three-month growth on my gelish nails. A new trend, perhaps?

The trousers below are Zara this year and had their first outing at a physically-distanced BBQ with some friends on Saturday. My bag is a present and the boots are M&S 2019.

I wore the trousers a few times recently. Below I am head-to-toe Zara.  The shoes are a few years old and to be honest are not hugely comfortable. The sweater/top you have seen before and I love it, except that my hair keeps getting caught in the beaded bows. The bag is last year’s sale, I think. My hair badly needs a colour and cut as you can see. I have five month’s of grey growth and while I love the silvey grey of many ladies, mine does not look good.

It is so lovely to see friends again.  I am not ready yet to visit restaurants or pubs, but GG and I are looking forward to planning a staycation or two in the next few months. Ireland has opened up today and I am hopeful that we can keep the virus under control. It is up to us all to be sensible.

Anyway back to this month’s theme ‘Check Me Out’. Let us check out my friends.

I love Anna’s outfit and might just have to see if I can find find it in the shops. Pop over to her page Anna’s Island Style to see where she picked up this bargain.

Emma over on The Style Splash is also rocking a suit.  Where did she get it? And look at those cute accessories.

Gail from Is This Mutton is looking pinktastic in her two-piece.  Want to learn more? You know where to find her.

Jacqui opted for a check shirt. See where she purchased on Mumma B Stylish and see the rest of her outfit too.

I hope wherever you are reading this that you are in good spirits and  good health. We live in strange times, my friends. Stay safe.

    I love those check trousers Hilda – if I had seen them I would have snapped them up, and then we might have both featured the same trousers!

    Oh my goodness, how I adore these trousers Hilda. I’m taking a break from shopping at the moment (3 months down, 9 to go) otherwise I’d be heading off to the Zara website right now! I do love them paired with those natural boots too. You’re one cool lady x

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.
