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

LBD MUMMABSTYLISH

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

Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

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)
Pop over to see how my friends tackled the challenge

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
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!

Shopped my wardrobe for the rest.

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.
Shopping my wardrobe for everything.

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.
