Statement Sleeves with my ‘Style Not Age’ Friends

Statement Sleeves with my ‘Style Not Age’ Friends


Hello everyone. It is all about statement sleeves with my friends at ‘Style Not Age’. I searched my wardrobe and found nothing of interest there. There were no statement sleeves that impressed me. So, I had to go shopping. And I found this lovely shirt from ‘Studio 124‘ in Malahide with fabulous full sleeves and lovely stitching.

Statement Sleeves denim shirt

Anyway, I paired them with a pair of jeans from Next that are about five years old. The shirt is from Penneys/Primark, also several years old. Boots (ancient) are Carl Scarpa and the hat is borrowed from GG. Bag is Zara (old) and sunnies are F&F at Tesco.

So double denim it is. I know I look like I am ready to do some line-dancing. Don’t judge me. I actually quite like it and cut quite a dash crossing the road during the week. If a film crew comes looking for an extra for a modern western, I am all set! Just need my horse!

 

My friends  in ‘Style Not Age’ really rose to the challenge.

THE STYLE SPLASH

Sale-savvy Emma’s top is from River Island. Already on sale, she got an extra discount because it had a mark on it (which came out in the wash). So it was only £5! Her trousers are part of a suit from Monki and the pink neon sandals are from Asos.  The fabulous bag is by Nali (from TKMaxx). Emma also chose the challenge this month. Check her out at Style Splash.

 

IS THIS MUTTON

Gail is wearing one of her favourite colours and how well it suits her too.  The lilac blouse is from River Island and we are really talking statement sleeves here. My goodness, they are magnificent. And I love how she has paired them with  purple trousers from Robell. You can learn more at Is This Mutton.

 

MUMMABSTYLISH

Jacqui has paired her lovely top from Bonmarche with grey trousers from Next. How flattering are the fluted sleeves? And how wonderfully stylish is the entire outfit. See more at Mummabstylish.

 

ANNA’S ISLAND STYLE

Another wonderful top from Anna whose statement sleeves have a lovely pleated effect. She looks very happy enjoying the sun in Tresco. Anna’s top is a charity shop find, her jeans are from Tesco and her sandals are a TK Maxx bargain. Learn more at annasislandstyle.

OTHER NEWS

Some lovely weather has brightened the final weeks of August. My eldest grandson begins school this week and we are just back from a wonderful few days at Center Parcs in County Roscommon with him and his family.  Will be hitting the hay early tonight!

I hope you are well wherever you are and looking forward to Autumn as I am.

    Love those pleated sleeves and the bit of puff too! I do love a good puff sleeve and just bought a tee with some- its the details right? The double denim look is wonderful on you, and the hat snazzy! I just dont look great in hats, but I love to see ladies that do!
    Enjoy your week and the sun!

    You do cut a dash in your double denim Hilda! I love the sleeve detail on your jacket and bet that you’ll find lots of excuses to wear it again.

    Have a super week x

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.

Post up on what makes me happy. Lots of different Post up on what makes me happy. Lots of different things in fact. But in this post I focus on grandchildren, the safe arrival of my new grandaughter and the joy I get from reminiscing on past holidays and looking forward to new.
This pic was taken when we were in Morocco a few months before the pandemic struck. We had a wonderful trip @tdactiveholidays. And so glad we were guided as we saw so much more and were well looked after.

Skincare meets makeup. The new No 7 Restore & Ren Skincare meets makeup. 
The new No 7 Restore & Renew Foundation might just become my new favourite. 
I do not like heavy foundation on me and prefer a lighter, more natural look. But at my age, I need something that adds radiance, evens skin tone and does not emphasise wrinkles. Plus it is full of skin-loving ingredients. Win win!

'More is More and less is a Bore'! Inspired by st 'More is More and less is a Bore'!

Inspired by style icon Iris Apfel, my Style Not Age friends and I dig out our beads and bangles and go maximalist on the blog. Our theme coincides with the launch of her collaboration with H&M.
So head over to my friends and see how they interpreted the theme!

What I might have worn on St Patrick's Day if Covi What I might have worn on St Patrick's Day if Covid had not finally got me. Luckily I was not sick at all and the only symptom I had was a touch of sinusitis. When I get sick I nearly always have sinus problems.
Hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather because Spring has definitely arrived in Ireland.

Have been wearing #playtex lingerie for several ye Have been wearing #playtex lingerie for several years now. They are so pretty and most importantly very comfortable.  And with #underwear comfort is key! 

This latest set is from their top selling 'Flower Elegance' range. It comes in many colours and I chose this lovely greyish blue set. This is #gifted but happy to buy others because they fit me so well. 😍
My first bras were Playtex and in my 60s I have returned to this iconic brand again. Everything comes full circle!
