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

Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_i Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_ire treatment. You can read all about my 90 day journey using at home potent products and in-salon treatments over on the blog. Particularly happy with my skin tone which is brighter and less blotchy. And the lines and wrinkles are less obvious too...plus the jaw area seems tighter.

New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped off on our Danube River Cruise. Love looking back on the photos which bring back great memories of our trip. We stopped off somewhere different every day. Our final stop was Budapest. We arrived during the day, but the trip up and down the river at night with the city lit up was magical. The Parliament Buildings were particularly spectacular.
