The Perfect LBD for NYE with ‘Style Not Age’

What will you be wearing on New Year’s Eve? Well my ‘Style Not Age’ friends are here to help. The theme set by Jacqui this month is the perfect LBD.  Will you be partying the night away or having a quiet dinner with friends? In the current climate, it is more likely that you will be spending it with family or a few friends. But we can still make an effort. Right?

We will be minding two of our grandchildren, so there will be no need to wear anything too fancy. I have shopped my wardrobe for my dress. This tiered dress is a firm favourite and is from the BIBA label at House of Fraser.

PO;KA DOT DRESS

I borrowed the reversible jacket from my daughter and she might not get it back.

The shoes are ancient and are the most comfortable high heels I have ever had. Clarks shoes please bring them back again.

Jacqui looks ready to party in her LBD. I love the lace detail and embellishment. Check out www.mummabstylish.com

I adore Gail‘s polka dot dress and pink boots. It is perfect for any occasion. I have boots somewhere in that lovely colour. Check out www.isthismutton.com

LBD IS THIS MUTTON

And look at Emma‘s perfect LBD. And how gorgeous is her hair colour against the black? See more at www.style-splash.com

And finally, let us have a look at Anna‘s LBD number. What a statement LBD it is with the fabulous hem ruffle with gold trim. And I love the gold accessories and statement brocade boots.  You can learn more at www.annasislandstyle.com

I am going to take this opportunity to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and I hope we see an end to THIS BLxxxY COVID in 2022. Stay safe my friends and thank you for reading.

    That’s such a fabulous dress! I’m a big fan of Biba and have picked up some great pieces from the brand over the years. I’m torn between wanting to go out but also wanting the comfort of home. I think we’ll go to our friends’ house for the evening but head home soon after midnight. I don’t like starting the new year feeling rough!

    I love your polka dot dress Hilda, it’s a fun flippy style and perfect for so many occasions. And glad to hear the glamorous shoes are comfortable, they’re stunning with the high heel but I’m reluctant to wear heels these days! Happy New Year to you and your family xx

Denim....but not jeans! This was our March challen Denim....but not jeans! This was our March challenge for 'Style Not Age'. Ok I cheated and did double denim. But nothing else looked right on me with the oversized jacket. Borrowed sunnies from @courtneysmithstyle who also took the pic. I decided that oversized denim was not for me so back to @primark with it. 
Good to experiment though and not get stuck in a rut!
Check out my friends @mummabstylish @isthismutton @annasislandstyle and @thestylesplash who have showcased lovely denim pieces.

'Buttoned up' is the challenge that Gail set The S 'Buttoned up' is the challenge that Gail set The Style Not Age gang this week. I found this Zara jacket in the back of my wardrobe. Seldom worn as a jacket, it works much better buttoned up and wearing nothing underneath. So thanks Gail.
Do pop over to the blog and check out my friends' wonderful looks.

I love shopping. I mean actually visiting shops as I love shopping. I mean actually visiting shops as online is not my jam. I have to feel the material and try the garment on. Sometimes (well rarely) I buy it online after I go home and think about it.  Usually I just buy it. Who else is with me on this?
