All Buttoned Up with ‘Style Not Age’

Gail chose ‘Buttoned Up’ as our February ‘Style Not Age’ challenge.  I was at a loss initially, but then found this cute Zara jacket at the back of the wardrobe. I can’t remember when I bought it, but I definitely have not worn it much.

Now I know I will wear it more often, but not as a jacket. It will be worn as a top as in the photos below. In other words, I won’t be wearing anything under it! Am I daring to show a little skin in the pic below? Yes I am!

I put it with my ‘old’ Next jeans and M&S boots.  I did a very early blog post about jeans which if you click on the highlighted Next you can read.The earrings were a present from GG years ago and I think he may have got the stylist daughter’s help.

GAIL

Gail shopped her wardrobe for the challenge.  I love the outfit and the added detail of buttons on the shoulder of her River Island jumper.  Nice pop of colour too.Pop over to Is This Mutton to find out more.

ANNA

Anna went above and beyond for the challenge. She bought the Jaeger top for a fiver and then worked her magic on it. Look at those buttons and the wonderful applique on the sleeve. There is a story behind it. Check out her blog on Anna’s Island Style to see what she did.

JACQUI

And for something different, Jacqui went for buttons on her trousers. Now I have a fab pair of wide trousers I could have used which have buttons on the side too. But I did not think outside the box. See what Jacqui has been doing on Mummabstylish.

EMMA

How cute is Emma’s shirt. Did you notice it has a button print? Double whammy. Love that pink suit too with those canary yellow boots.You can find Emma on The Style Splash.

Hope you are enjoying the first signs of Spring as I am. As always, thank you for reading.

CHAT SOON.

    Hi Hilda, I love all of the buttoned-up choices. Finding tops to go with skirts or pants are my most difficult challenge, so these are all great ideas. Thank you, Brenda

    That’s a very nice theme! I’m a sucker for buttons! And Zara does sell fabulous jackets with beautiful buttons!

Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday with our beautiful family on Safari in Birmingham last week.

Let's call it chaotic; wild & wonderful all at once with four Grandkids between 17 months and 7 years old. 😂

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.

Magic weather this weekend .... Magic weather this weekend ....
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!
More pics on stories.
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.
