‘Style Not Age’ Showcase July Jackets

July Jackets, chosen by Jacqui, makes for a good alliterative opening to this month’s ‘Style Not Age’ prompt. Is it because I am in my mid-sixties that I feel that time is flying by? Or is it because it feels we are stuck on PAUSE at the moment, waiting for life to get back to  completely normal? In Ireland, indoor dining with huge restrictions resumes today and overseas travel is possible with Covid Vaccine Passports or PCR tests.

JULY JACKETS

Anyway, July is nearly over and we are donning jackets! Jacqui was very kind this month and I had several options I could have chosen.

This statement jacket is from a new boutique in Malahide, Studio 124, run by a lovely Italian lady Francesca. Everything is imported from her home country. She has some really unusual pieces and I just fell in love with this jacket.

July Jacket

Here I am wearing it with my very old Diesel jeans; you have seen them before. The pretty white top is from another boutique Neola in Malahide and is a few years old.  Mules are Clarks and are comfy, but not for walking miles.  Top it all off with a statement jacket and I am good to go. Oh and the sunnies are from F&F at Tesco.

Statement Jacket

The pics are taken by GG in my daughter’s back garden and Lexi, their much-loved pooch, makes an appearance. I changed my top for a few shots. This pretty brown silky number is also from Studio 124.

July Jacket

I think the different top completely changes the look and I probably prefer the brown on me.

MY FRIENDS

Gail

July Jackets

Gail dazzles in her bright violet ‘Rachel’ Jacket from Kettlewell Colours, ideal for slipping on when it gets a bit chilly.  And don’t you love that lime top also from Kettlewell.  Those colours really suit her. If you pop over to Is This Mutton you can read all about her colour story as well.

Anna

Annasislandstyle

Anna is showcasing a lovely view across the bay as well as a bright green Benetton jeans jacket which is an old favourite. The white crops are charity shopped and the tee is gifted by Tresco Island.  You need  to check out annasislandstyle to find out more. Tresco is one of the islands off the coast of Cornwall, by the way. I need to visit Cornwall and some of the islands. I want Anna to take me to some of her charity shops.

Emma

The Style Splash

I love Emma’s lovely jacket from Pom Amsterdm but those wide-legged trousers also caught my eye.  Accessories always play a major role in Emma’s outfits too and those earrings are fun.  You can find out where she got them on Style Splash.

Jacqui

Mummabstylish

And last but not least we have Jacqui from Mummabstylish who is wearing a new linen jacket from Bonmarche.

Paired with old M&S wide-leg trousers in soft grey and a new little chiffon sleeveless blouse from H&M, Jacqui looks ready to go anywhere. And she has been very busy recently. Pop over to Mummabstylish to learn more.

OTHER NEWS

Graham and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary last week. I put some pics up on Instagram and Facebook. New readers might like to read my old post on ‘How to stay Married for 35 Years and Not Kill your Husband’.
Seemingly our heatwave is about to end. There has been some nights when sleeping has been difficult, but overall I have enjoyed the lovely weather.
Well, when the rain comes, there will be more time to watch The Olympics, I guess.
As always, thank you for reading. Back to health issues next week.

    Oh goodness how I love this jacket Hilda. In fact I would happy if you all sent them on to me right now! The lilac one is fab and a white linen jacket is a great classic too. Anyway, I hope you remember me if you ever tire of this one…

    Sounds like you have some superb boutiques in Malahide, lucky you. I love the jacket most with the brown silky top. That top is so sexy!

    Hi Hilda!
    I saw your Anniversary post on FB, again, Congratulations, we just hit our 20th. I love your jacket, the pattern is very neat and I love the color. Both tops look great underneath, and I am a big fan of jackets! Been wearing a linen one here lately as it is hot here as well!
    Enjoy your week!

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)

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!

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.

Do you have clothes that only see the light of day Do you have clothes that only see the light of day when you are on holidays? I do. Though this jumpsuit from @trafficpeople was worn a few times in Ireland when we had a heatwave! Remember😂
The hat from @h&m was prettied up with a scarf and birkenstock dupes are @tkmaxxie.
Blog post up about our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a blast at Ali and Ian's wedding. Dubrovnik is beautiful.
