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

 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

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😂😂

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.

 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.
