Summer Sizzlers with ‘Style Not Age’

Well, the sun finally appeared and Anna chose Summer Sizzlers as her prompt for July’s ‘Style Not Age’. In Ireland, we have not seen the mad temperatures of the UK, but have had lovely warm days in the early 20s.

I tend to cover up in the sun. And this sizzling orange linen shirt has had plenty of wear over the past few years. Why it even came with me to the Sahara Desert when we visited Morocco with TD Active  (below) pre-Covid.

I wore it recently when we visited the National Stud and Japanese Gardens in Kildare. If you have not been, it is worth a visit. We will definitely return.

So it was the perfect place to get a few photos. We were minding little Bodhi when her Mum was involved in a photocall.

Japanese Gardens

Both the shirt and the really light denim cut-offs were bought in Paula’s in Malahide. The sling back shoes and the sandals are very old Clarks. I had the sandals with me for walking around; the shoes were merely for the photo! The bag is old Zara. I was disgusted that I forgot my orange sunglasses.

‘STYLE NOT AGE’

And look at how my friends sizzled. Anna remembered her orange sunnies and razzle dazzles in an orange jumpsuit. I bet you want to know where she got it. Check out ANNA’S ISLAND STYLE.

And Emma (below) also chose orange as her Summer Sizzler. Look how she stands out against the blue sky.  Love her hat too. You can find out more at THE STYLE SPLASH.

Jacqui is wearing a daring swimsuit that’s new from Debenhams with some lace trousers (old) and a new hat from Dune. Those hot pink sandals finish her look perfectly. Follow sizzling hot Jacqui over on MUMMA B STYLISH.

Gail sizzles in pink and acid green. She took this photo on her holidays in Skiathos. Pop over to IS THIS MUTTON to find out more about what Gail has been doing.

    I love that fun linen top on you, Hilda. I tend to cover up too. Protect my skin! Glad to hear you are having lovely temps and not the scorching heat parts of the UK got.

    PS…we are coming to Ireland in September!

    Your orange shirt is indeed a Summer Sizzler Hilda! I love the casual look you’ve put together and yes, I totally understand how annoying it is to forget a vital part of your outfit – you still look very stylish though x

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.

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?
