Statement Collar - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Good morning my friends.
How's your first week of April going?

Apologies for the late posting, it’s been a busy one for me. 

It's been a busy few days for me.  We had a full on Easter and since then I've had a big job that's under wraps along with helping my daughter with her AirBnb & also doing the laundry for her and the clean!  The grandkids have been on Easter holidays so I've seen the a couple of times which has been super.
Did you get up to much of the holiday period?

Managed to get my nails done yesterday. My daughter does them for me, which is super.  I even get to see the kids when she does them! Doesn't it feel so much better when your nails are all pretty and styled?  I went for a light dusky pink which I think will be perfect for Spring clothing.  I also did my tan.  I use St Moritz and can reach nearly everywhere and only need a willing hand to do my back!  Again I feel so much healthier when I've got bronzed skin, gone are my days of using the sunbed!  It's so bad for you isn't it!

Today I want to share my statement collar with you. Do let me know if this is something you’d wear?


I found this gorgeous blouse a while back in the Matalan sale. I teamed it with the black and cream trousers that were also from there. But today I thought you’d like to see it with my favourite red trousers for a more dramatic look!


It’s got a really voluminous collar and is a pretty dainty sheer fabric that’s got an embossed pattern over it. The ruffle around the neck reaches nearly down the whole of the shirt and looks incredibly feminine. You’ve seen these cropped trousers before and I’m sure, like me they caught your eye! Would you wear bright red trousers?
You can see when I styled them with a red top here and also with tan and a jumper scarf when I went to Amiens here. 


Here’s a closer look at the pretty flower and stem design, I’m so pleased with this blouse, do let me know your thoughts on this standout piece. 


You can just about see the gold chain belt in this photo, I picked it up in Primark this season and have loved how it looks every time I’ve worn it recently. I need to see if they’ve still got them and get a silver one too!
