Layered Lux this September with ‘Style Not Age’


In the last few days there has been a dip in temperature, particularly in the evenings. So, Gail’s prompt for September was perfect. ‘Layered Lux’ fitted in perfectly with last Saturday night, out with friends. We would be walking home, so I definitely would need a coat for the first time this Autumn.

Below, you can see the coat, a sale purchase from Selected earlier this year. This is its first airing. And yes, that is an Aperol, a pre-dinner drink in our friends’ house before we headed out to a restaurant. And I did take the coat off before I sat down.

Luxe layering

An hour earlier, GG and I had headed up to Paddy’s Hill, a park behind our house to grab the last of the sunshine. It had disappeared from around our house.

So, what am I wearing?

Luxe layering

Well, the trousers are a few years old from Zara, as are the M&S boots. But the Halston silk shirt is over ten years old and I will never tire of it. The leather tote is from Malahide boutique Studio 124 and was a bargain in the recent sale at €50.

Luxe Layering

So over that I popped a leather jacket, keeping the tones neutral. I must have it about twenty years, bought in Clery’s Department Store from the concession Kaliko. I have not seen the label in any stores in Ireland for years. Is it still a going concern? Maybe someone could enlighten me. I loved their clothes.  The back of the jacket has some lovely details.

And now to my friends:

Is this mutton layered lux

Gail (above) has gone with luxury fabrics and non-bulky items for her layered lux. Like me, she has opted for muted tones. You can find out more on IS THIS MUTTON.

The style splash layered lux

Emma would not look out of place in 70s London Carnaby Street. How ‘absolutely fabulous’ is her outfit. Find out where she got it on THE STYLE SPLASH.

annas island style layered lux

Anna is looking equally fabulous in her colourful outfit. See how she layered up over on ANNA’S ISLAND STYLE.

Layered lux Mummabstylish

Jacqui’s green shirt and shoes adds colour to her layering lux. Check her out on MUMMABSTYLISH.

So that is it for this month. We have a cold week ahead with a drop of several degrees in our temperatures here in Ireland. So, it might be time to put the sandals away and get the boots out. I look forward to the cooler weather and wearing layers. Autumn is my favourite season. How about you?

Thanks for reading.

Stay warm.

      Ah ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ is a derogatory term used over here. So Gail uses the word ‘mutton’. So Gail is definitely not mutton!
      You have a new follower Loretta Sayers Gavin. She signed up for your blog. We met up when she was here and were discussing our favourite bloggers…..

    I love Autumn too. Colder days are simply wonderful. Days here in Portugal are still quite hot, but the evenings are absolute bliss. Last night I actually had to wear a pair socks lol! It was wonderful!
    I love your leather jacket, the back details are so pretty. And it’s so cool that you’ve had it so long!
    Big hugs

Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and our friends @annademart.ie and @hynes6026 gave me a chance to wear this beautiful dress from @paulasmalahide. Visited Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, ate delicious food  and drank too much wine with lovely people @mcevoycarlos and @mcevoyleonie. More pics on stories.

Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place on the grid. Bought from @studio124dublin. Over on the blog I have published a post on having a colonoscopy. 
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)

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!

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.

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.

We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of the year. Still mad about him and often with him, but still love him completely and for ever!

'Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.'

 What is the secret? 
Resilience, an ability to compromise and a sense of humour. Oh and an ability to zone out. GG is a sweetheart, kind and loving. He has an endearing/annoying habit of telling the same stories time and again. Now I zone out. 🙂
He puts up with my shortcomings too, though I am sure they are minor😂
