I love leather: real leather, faux leather, I love it all. So lovely leather is my choice of prompt for this month’s ‘Style Not Age’. And I decided to feature my Italian-leather cream coat purchased in Oxfam in Malahide. I saw it in the window and popped straight in to put my name on it. It has been worn on numerous occasions already and is much admired. I am really getting better at vintage/second-hand shopping. As we say, I shopped my wardrobe for the rest of the outfit. Everything is years old.

Jacqui is wearing faux leather trousers with a pale blue jumper over a brown silky shirt and topped off with a leopard print trench which is suede. Her leather bag was bought in Venice. Check it out on www.mummabstylish.com
STYLE SPLASH
Emma’s faux leather culottes are from River Island. I love how she has styled them and I fancy that animal print hat too. My love of animal print continues to grow. Call me Bet from ‘Coronation Street’, I don’t care. See more on www.style-splash.com
ANNA’S ISLAND STYLE
Poor Anna has been through the wars recently and has been off work for the past three weeks after some minor surgery to remove skin cancer went wrong. And is only now getting her energy back. She is showcasing lovely Laidback London leather boots. She, like me, is fed up of grey skies and rain. Follow Anna on www.annasislandstyle.com
In Dublin, we had two weeks of grey skies and drizzly rain. When I woke to a blue sky last Saturday, I felt euphoric and skipped out of the house for a lovely walk in the sunshine with a friend. It is the simple things that give me joy.
Thank you for reading.
Love Hilda x
Gosh, what a wonderful leather coat, I love the length, the style and the colour, it looks like it was made for you.
Thanks Susan it was a real find. x
What a stunning coat Hilda, it’s marvellous and definitely throw it my way if you get fed up of it! Jacqui xx
I’m amazed. What a beautiful coat. I would wear it in a heart beat, and I don’t normally wear leather.
I love this outfit Hilda! Your coat is beautiful, what a great find!

I love the look, and it’s fitting that it’s an Italian leather coat: warm weather is good with leather!

PS
I got a wonderful aubergine leather jacket in Oxfam for ten euros.
I am now a convert. I keep popping in to our local charity shops…hoping to find more preloved goodies.
I absolutely love this coat and your dress too!
