Good morning. <div>How’s your weekend gone?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Mine</b> has flown by as per usual, it seems one minute it’s Friday evening and the weekend is stretched out in front of me and the next it’s Monday morning. But on the plus side it does mean I get to spend it with you!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Now don’t get too excited</b> but ‘news flash’ I actually went out on Saturday night! I know, I know out two weeks in a row! It’s been ages but worth the wait. We celebrated St. Patricks day with four friends in our local pub. The drinks were flowing as were the laughs. I even had two or three shots of baby Guinness! Which were delicious and very ‘moorish’ so as you can imagine it was a slow day on Sunday with me not wanting to get out of bed to go watch my granddaughter play football. I’m pleased I did because it made me feel so much better and even though they didn’t win, Amelia managed to get another hatrick! Very proud Nan moment I can say. Home to a roast dinner for … wait for it … three! Yes not the usual riotous Sunday dinner and somewhat quieter than normal & all finished by a reasonable 4pm!! It was nice to have a bit more evening so I could slump in the chair and catch a few zzzz’s .. lol!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>I’ve been starting</b> to think about Spring weddings and special occasions and wanted the share this beautiful floral with you, even though I’ve not got any weddings this year, but if I had this would be top of my list! Do you have any events that this style might be suitable for?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Item’s marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments. </i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlwI3mRAzMwPEKEgDGKNfyM9rrb5BylOJCkZFiNo6ivFwShmOSKlWnal-9ATo_tDwn6yWBHmZxlVtK3zl9FZGWpfjYTFsIybVu0PwnME6XlxYw_gKVJFb0hJhXirTxlqtHuv1QkyMbl4bP08kwzzdzHZQj_A2D63nBIqqh_jUf8ZOzJi83jWAELRXEgXE/s3468/IMG_2110.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3468" data-original-width="2231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlwI3mRAzMwPEKEgDGKNfyM9rrb5BylOJCkZFiNo6ivFwShmOSKlWnal-9ATo_tDwn6yWBHmZxlVtK3zl9FZGWpfjYTFsIybVu0PwnME6XlxYw_gKVJFb0hJhXirTxlqtHuv1QkyMbl4bP08kwzzdzHZQj_A2D63nBIqqh_jUf8ZOzJi83jWAELRXEgXE/s16000/IMG_2110.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span><a name='more'></a></span><b>Florals scream weddings</b> to me, there’s something ultra feminine about flouncy flowery dresses that make me want to attend a wedding and the floatier the better lol!</div><div>So why do we love florals? They’ve been a staple in women’s fashion for many years ranging from small subtle designs to larger in-your-face patterns with so many more in between. Floral dresses are incredibly versatile and can be dressed up or down as the outing dictates. Are you a floral wearer?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>If you’re thinking</b> about a reasonably priced dress for that special event then look no further as <a href="https://jenerique.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Jenerique</span></a> have a big selection of stunning dresses that will fit the bill nicely. </div><div>Having worked with them in the past I wasn’t disappointed with my choice today and you can see my other picks here, here and here. <br />
<br /><br /><blockquote><i>For one they are so comfortable having an insole that’s padded and a relatively low heel that’s still appealing because it’s a fancy shape.</i></blockquote><br /><br /><b>This pretty floral</b> is basically a midi wrap dress but it’s fixed in place which is good. It does up by a zip in the side so you can be sure it won’t gape or move about. The Sunday down the front is lovely too, adds just that bit extra of ladylike appeal I so love to have. It’s covered in a riot of flowers. They appear to be pink, but you could probably match a light red into the equation for an extra wear!</div><div>You can find this <a href="https://jenerique.com/products/wrap-midi-frill-skirt-dress-in-blue-floral-print?_pos=1&_psq=blue-floral&_ss=e&_v=1.0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">pretty blue dress *</span></a> on the website for under £50, now isn’t that good to hear?

For starters it’s a midi length which, as you know is perfect for me. I find this style the most flattering and always makes me feel very chic. It’s also got 3/4 sleeves which is what a Spring dress needs, as I still feel the cold until the humid temperatures of a hot Summer ensues. </div><div><b>A wrap</b> dress isn’t always the best style for me as the bust can be a bit too big, but the ratio of this one fits me nicely. With a sturdy tie belt on the outside and a smaller but firm one on the inside, this dress isn’t going to move in any way shape or form. It’s got plenty of fabric to cover up my legs too, nothing worse than a dress with insufficient fabric which could flash more skin than desired!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-enV_V3YykfzVaO3PxUCkf8Zt1NgI979nGhUrb6ug3SawWIvREJFGjNz6QQHA66ZbKVqMXrvUf7hc2_mvVNZJX9AsFewoX0ci1sZ9-Yrd4Jw3S9d-Zs3UWm17JbCBBTixwcLcAvddOee3fJ9ruQKgWfx3IftPrV21cj6HD51Pd4tCclub5uKy0ilv4SQ/s4032/IMG_1933.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-enV_V3YykfzVaO3PxUCkf8Zt1NgI979nGhUrb6ug3SawWIvREJFGjNz6QQHA66ZbKVqMXrvUf7hc2_mvVNZJX9AsFewoX0ci1sZ9-Yrd4Jw3S9d-Zs3UWm17JbCBBTixwcLcAvddOee3fJ9ruQKgWfx3IftPrV21cj6HD51Pd4tCclub5uKy0ilv4SQ/s16000/IMG_1933.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div><b>With</b> a deep gypsy style frill on the hem and a big bold pattern this midi is going to get lots of brownie points and flattering comments, you’re going to be thrilled with this purchase (linked above ⬆️).</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWa0cRg3ecetudGum4swL0UxTrXMISqX_BSLXj8Qt5PrNiVCJV8vKxMhMzbs6aqvTDXVXYjrCL3cHNt3zLmbyGtXT4mbPPpYLgzTWmAViB_Y3A2HIncjHZlp9qri8L8Hmhp7MBs1zHiJUt-5blyicWj4v8ehVv0AsC92eICsBOG54ntK4Ou_nwL6Q_JY8/s1922/IMG_1900.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1799" data-original-width="1922" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWa0cRg3ecetudGum4swL0UxTrXMISqX_BSLXj8Qt5PrNiVCJV8vKxMhMzbs6aqvTDXVXYjrCL3cHNt3zLmbyGtXT4mbPPpYLgzTWmAViB_Y3A2HIncjHZlp9qri8L8Hmhp7MBs1zHiJUt-5blyicWj4v8ehVv0AsC92eICsBOG54ntK4Ou_nwL6Q_JY8/s16000/IMG_1900.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>I just had to show off this jacket,</b> it was one of my Mother’s Day presents (my hints didn’t fall on deaf ears yay).

Morning all & welcome to my blog. <div>Hope you are okay and have had a great weekend. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Yesterday</b> was Mother’s Day in the UK and I had such a special day with the kids and also my mum. </div><div>We couldn’t get a table at the restaurants we tried, probably left it too late! So my daughter & David cooked breakfast at mine. Here’s what we had - sausages, bacon mushrooms, tomatoes, egg (fried & scrambled) beans, fried bread and hash brown with the addition of black pudding too! All sorts of bread, crumpets and pancakes cereals, with jams and spreads! I was stuffed. Plenty of hot and cold drinks to wash it all down were also on offer. I’m sorry if I’ve made you hungry as there was so much choice! It was even better than going to the restaurant I reckon! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>I hold</b> my hands up to really being naughty over the weekend! I was out on Saturday night with friends having a three course dinner and a <strike>few</strike> lots of glasses of Prosecco, so along with my Sunday Mother’s Day breakfast and a Chinese takeaway on Sunday night I dare not step on the scales this morning! I’ll surely have gained a few pounds especially as I had a couple of pieces of birthday cake along the way (two birthdays this weekend) so this week I’ll be back on my strict calorie counting diet, I actually hate feeling stuffed from over eating … do you? </div><div><br /></div><div><b>If</b> you <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4KkSh7sOzf/?igsh=MTk2OHR1ZzQ1cHo3Nw==" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">follow me on Instagram</span></a> you’ll have seen me sharing a stunning matchy, matchy outfit last week. </div><div><br /></div><div><i></i><blockquote><i>Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments. </i></blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKxi8hc8K8BoAb7r1UkOaL9XnvpfXJfsIQSocsCejufp5_HML3-nKh3QlNIa38Rh63YDjmgb2KqyJPw62yNRBnVAnRQQDZD4CJN56KnS2eFzqquEacjNqW3t0GB1USBpf5h247cYNoDCBxDXFALZKbfg8de0D_tfoKusQhSRH3-gh_1DyZb29M0ExbtL8/s4032/IMG_1568.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKxi8hc8K8BoAb7r1UkOaL9XnvpfXJfsIQSocsCejufp5_HML3-nKh3QlNIa38Rh63YDjmgb2KqyJPw62yNRBnVAnRQQDZD4CJN56KnS2eFzqquEacjNqW3t0GB1USBpf5h247cYNoDCBxDXFALZKbfg8de0D_tfoKusQhSRH3-gh_1DyZb29M0ExbtL8/s16000/IMG_1568.jpeg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><b>Sometimes it’s nice to go all matchy matchy </b>isn’t it!</div><div>Wearing a monochromatic outfit always looks very sophisticated and quite chic, so when I realised the dress matched nicely with the blue shoes and little clutch bag I just had to wear them. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSF0gf7Yl4lChe6ZpvxobznuP3tjUq7aC47FlXV-bLP1Fem2EvnV-bS5awtRUfuO-jmknx5IVYZMVZj2NZ5aXDLAlDnX9s9m0Y7j-FVzQixeWZ5TkGijm9PSlYzDZ8g4boQPLLXqngVJGY_vmFIhHr39o8oLbO-ca97_H7aWYce5jaGJTCvDIY9XTOMvs/s4032/IMG_1549.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSF0gf7Yl4lChe6ZpvxobznuP3tjUq7aC47FlXV-bLP1Fem2EvnV-bS5awtRUfuO-jmknx5IVYZMVZj2NZ5aXDLAlDnX9s9m0Y7j-FVzQixeWZ5TkGijm9PSlYzDZ8g4boQPLLXqngVJGY_vmFIhHr39o8oLbO-ca97_H7aWYce5jaGJTCvDIY9XTOMvs/s16000/IMG_1549.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>The dress</b> is made from a chiffon fabric which always casts a feminine feel.

I recall saving money for clothes - my love of fashion started at a young age. I’d go off shopping with my sister with my hard earned savings, along with birthday and Christmas money for a big spend up. Of course that’s when the shops were brimming with fabulous fashions and the choices were endless! I’m sure times are still the same for lots of people so saving <strike>pennies</strike> pounds now is just as important. I always tried to get the best value for my money, which to be fair hasn’t changed. However now I prefer to spend a little bit more on an item that’s better quality so it’ll last longer - nothing worse than buying something that lets me down after a couple of wears. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmE20iTrVX8owea4MGYKqkzw8-c3VZ4dT3uR6Qh0KLvmKNMH-2os_wh6dzn32PmCkfk2WHQ5c5kyGxpID0w-uIS_YuqluJRCXKS05UQ92DNe50bW3-P0hfpxajSxIB_nrX6LXu5ZuDWGOZAYePMnzWqjyFBNYtCsPI2j89gZnbh0Txgf49Rntn3MQFFU/s5472/IMG_1396.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5472" data-original-width="3080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmE20iTrVX8owea4MGYKqkzw8-c3VZ4dT3uR6Qh0KLvmKNMH-2os_wh6dzn32PmCkfk2WHQ5c5kyGxpID0w-uIS_YuqluJRCXKS05UQ92DNe50bW3-P0hfpxajSxIB_nrX6LXu5ZuDWGOZAYePMnzWqjyFBNYtCsPI2j89gZnbh0Txgf49Rntn3MQFFU/s16000/IMG_1396.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>With cash becoming</b> less and less prominent now and I know lots of young people don’t understand the process of using cash. I recall shopping just before Christmas for a pair of boots for David that cost £52.50 (odd amount I know but they were greatly reduced in the outlet centre). So I gave the young assistant £62.50 and explained he could give me back a £10 note which he just didn’t understand. He gave me the correct change for £60 plus the £2.50 I’d given him! I shrugged my shoulders, laughed and departed. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Savings and saving</b> are so important aren’t they?

The accounts listed make saving for the future extremely easy, plus they can help your kids learn about investing and the stock market, which is a big bonus!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b></b><blockquote><b>What is an UGMA account?</b><br /><br /><b>UGMA</b> stands for Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, and it’s a type of custodial account (meaning it’s managed by an adult on behalf of a minor). Minors aren’t legally allowed to enter into contracts. Generally, this means they can’t own stocks and bonds and mutual accounts. In most states, the minimum age to invest in and trade stocks is 21, and in 10 states, the minimum age is 18. A custodial account or trust can hold investments until children come of age. <div>With a typical trust fund, parents would have to work with an attorney or go through court to prepare documents and appoint a trustee. An <b>UGMA</b> account follows a state statute’s terms, so it can be simpler to set up. </div></blockquote><div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Do let me know what your younger family members do to save money & how you help them.

With the league situation here the matches end up being quite far away so journeys of about an hour away are sometimes normal! It was nice to reminisce and see how the area had changed over the past 50 years!! Yes it was that long ago! </div><div>I had breakfast after the football in the local pub, it was the first time I’d stepped foot in The Six Bells but it was right next door to the church I loved going to the Harvest Festival service and the old school house where I went to the youth club! I’ve got so many memories of my young life there, some very obscure, lots prominent but ask me what I did earlier today I don’t have a clue! 😂 </div><div>I must share the results of the match, 3-3 and my granddaughter scored a hat trick - very proud nanny indeed. 🩷</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Now</b> shall we get down to today’s post? It’s the last Monday of February, so time to turn our attention to my four colleagues and me for the <b>Style Not Age</b> challenge …</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Put a Bow on it!</b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivR7J_USODiH7h3jK5DqAzkiRRhjqGaLHjbxvFHnUNevOxnSjUUNyH2TSGHDAtzXv167uQ2wBHqZD33QggmzOiUwiVTzrizk498VwdcQ5y-ILZR9oLJUmPTUy51HeXIjEFQqmrs5kFGZb-_NLQcU_S7TUwP2k8DmHcBAyGOSbv5g8JhKpkw6QhNVqQeKA/s3149/IMG_0851.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3149" data-original-width="2773" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivR7J_USODiH7h3jK5DqAzkiRRhjqGaLHjbxvFHnUNevOxnSjUUNyH2TSGHDAtzXv167uQ2wBHqZD33QggmzOiUwiVTzrizk498VwdcQ5y-ILZR9oLJUmPTUy51HeXIjEFQqmrs5kFGZb-_NLQcU_S7TUwP2k8DmHcBAyGOSbv5g8JhKpkw6QhNVqQeKA/s16000/IMG_0851.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><b>Nothing new here</b> and everything shopped from my wardrobe.

Hello everyone. <div>How’s the weekend been?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Another</b> slow one for me, although I did go out with all the kids last night to a local venue called <span style="color: #ff00fe;"><a href="https://boombattlebar.com/uk/canterbury/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Boom Battle Ba</span></a>r. </span> It’s a local bar where you can go for a fun night out playing games like axe throwing, crazy golf, darts, beer pong and much more.

Much like all the palazzo styles I wear, these are really flattering for my shape and always look very elegant on. I found<a href="https://rstyle.me/+1SnC_brMn-7OMuwT-9FYtw" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #ff00fe;">them on the H & M</span></a> website. I bought two sizes and opted for the larger of the two, but if I keep dropping weight due to calorie counting I’ll be investing in the smaller size too! The length is possible the one problem they have, they only do one length which is only suitable for heels or platforms. I’ll be checking out shorter lengths so I can wear them with flats and trainers. They’ll be perfect for Spring when ditsy florals and bright colours will be running amuck! 🌸🩷🩵🤍🌼</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5B7Tf-rPS9oeK1UB2qJ0LWvajV4eA_V5tB8Cu9qAVjzsElGqpyI7bGDlbfEyK37NJtxMbZVfhhBW8g5CvuLJ5qH3oSJJYlyX9jRozvAeOr58-FaNifAuDZmej64iFvGbZAZkJZNqVOmRxTa4-FSo5EQyzjVlmvcuxQZkvE0sUOXOV-s6hMWmvMBKsc44/s1532/IMG_0665.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1532" data-original-width="860" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5B7Tf-rPS9oeK1UB2qJ0LWvajV4eA_V5tB8Cu9qAVjzsElGqpyI7bGDlbfEyK37NJtxMbZVfhhBW8g5CvuLJ5qH3oSJJYlyX9jRozvAeOr58-FaNifAuDZmej64iFvGbZAZkJZNqVOmRxTa4-FSo5EQyzjVlmvcuxQZkvE0sUOXOV-s6hMWmvMBKsc44/s16000/IMG_0665.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><b>The little knitted top</b> is sleeveless and would be best suited for warmer days, but the pattern is so pretty and looked great over the jeans.

The house build is going slowly as hubby it quite involved with my daughters extension which is coming along well. They’re extending upwards which has created four bedrooms, a bathroom, en-suite and dressing room. It’s all looking super exciting as they’re putting up studd walls so we can really get an idea of what the rooms will look like. Emily and I dared to start talking about decor and what we’d both like in our new houses, there’s so much choice now-a-days and it’s been nice to checkout Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok for ideas. Where do you turn to for inspiration my friends? </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Yesterday</b> was a busy day for me, David was working so I cooked the roast dinner for some of the family (there were 14 of us with the kids). A roast chicken was on the menu with all the trimmings of course and I have to admit to over indulging just a tad, so back to calorie counting this week, I hope I don’t get on the scales this morning and wish I’d not eaten what I did! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Today’s</b> outfit came about from a recent bargain purchase. </div><div>Read on to find out how I got this cute jacket. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr8eXjDzKl3BohMLzTBwwaqYXUsKMZOC7ScnTSqMdCU7DfQ0zxPk0OSNtk1QY7cjOtyVSYxNFQ0HQERl62CAL0yTCUpQRkhiT4r6BGlWU8Y0oozQaN1SKHZk4Tp1DtjFbhTFRU_6kQ_uzjI6Jut1MMTy96u-bWGuN2_TSMIEVvdXFi_wYAbijCPHCEuzg/s4032/IMG_0624.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr8eXjDzKl3BohMLzTBwwaqYXUsKMZOC7ScnTSqMdCU7DfQ0zxPk0OSNtk1QY7cjOtyVSYxNFQ0HQERl62CAL0yTCUpQRkhiT4r6BGlWU8Y0oozQaN1SKHZk4Tp1DtjFbhTFRU_6kQ_uzjI6Jut1MMTy96u-bWGuN2_TSMIEVvdXFi_wYAbijCPHCEuzg/s16000/IMG_0624.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><b>So</b> more about my outfit that’s based around this smart jacket. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Whilst browsing my local Matalan</b> store prior to Christmas this caught my eye on the sale rail.

I had two of my daughters with me and showed them the jacket on! Both said they hated it and didn’t think I should buy it or put it on my Xmas list.

I’ve always remembered this and although I often wear nudes and latte colours, sometimes it makes sense to place a blast of brightness into the mix. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM9f7CTVB4YWFAEH_sRSLeXC36kF0Ck7zH82-Z3bBy9mHyl2CH8yftAC9BExsWBpxBKKxVGlTcZMbJne4DEBlYBXyHxJOKWM2oKhdHDnOJhefDSXTLiCNVKuOp-m9P54-IkvLCy4pjEy18sQJ_SRLPwkTMluIolfdRKCq9feHp1r9pmrD_vRaoDRSZY9A/s2586/IMG_9903.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2586" data-original-width="1362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM9f7CTVB4YWFAEH_sRSLeXC36kF0Ck7zH82-Z3bBy9mHyl2CH8yftAC9BExsWBpxBKKxVGlTcZMbJne4DEBlYBXyHxJOKWM2oKhdHDnOJhefDSXTLiCNVKuOp-m9P54-IkvLCy4pjEy18sQJ_SRLPwkTMluIolfdRKCq9feHp1r9pmrD_vRaoDRSZY9A/s16000/IMG_9903.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><b>Everything you see</b> has been featured on the blog previously, and although the skirt has only made a couple of appearances in my day to day wearing - it really is an elegant style. <div><br /><div><b>It’s a roomy elasticated</b> waist full skirt, which are apparently on trend at the moment.

Hello and welcome back to Mummabstyish. <div>How’s the week been?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Still chilly</b> here so layers, layers and more layers are key for me to keep warm. Do you have a secret to keeping toasty my friends, always interested to hear new ideas to keep the cold out!</div><div>Not much to report from the weekend, although I did cook the whole roast dinner yesterday as David was working on my daughter’s house. I’m usually sous chef, but the roast chicken dinner was prepared and cooked by me! I have to say it was rather nice and went down extremely well, even the Yorkshire puddings were, dare I say, perfect. 👌 How did your weekend go? Hope you had a wonderful time, let me know what you did and were you chef? 🧑🍳 </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Today I thought</b> it’d be apt to share something new-to-me with you! Still with me? Good! </div><div>I was recently asked to review an item from <a href="https://www.layerclothing.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Layer Clothing</span></a>. It’s an online website that sells these really interesting layer bands. Want to know? Do read on. </div><div><br /></div><div><blockquote>Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments. </blockquote></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8X1awzC8axPpYYiCEFfYXcbqCVJc25ZZAHlgybLSiZ86IBcEAZfQU92S2NMtit_rs4bIkMXMFip4psKI544JtdacBU7fgoV379LGhtJ2yXdlRn_i0tERvgHxKa1Ftr7BePBRRQihgg5uWDmBhbTgBzS3ptmyPYQClN6UYlcWb3UsbNB4Ts7-9Fea6U-c/s4032/IMG_8831.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8X1awzC8axPpYYiCEFfYXcbqCVJc25ZZAHlgybLSiZ86IBcEAZfQU92S2NMtit_rs4bIkMXMFip4psKI544JtdacBU7fgoV379LGhtJ2yXdlRn_i0tERvgHxKa1Ftr7BePBRRQihgg5uWDmBhbTgBzS3ptmyPYQClN6UYlcWb3UsbNB4Ts7-9Fea6U-c/s16000/IMG_8831.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><b>So</b> are you interested to hear more about the Layer Band?</div><div>Let me share all the facts about this new and exciting brand. </div><div><br /></div><div>Quoting from the website:</div><div><br /></div><div></div><blockquote><div>Layering clothing came about after I realised how layering clothes can be extremely flattering to a woman’s shape. I wanted to find a style of clothing that could be worn casually in the day or for a smarter look. </div><div>This combined with a love for layering helped me develop the layer band. These clever bands are worn underneath tops, around your middle and add length without the bulkiness of a full vest top or T shirt underneath.

Morning all. <div>Hope you had a super weekend. </div><div>What did you do?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>I’m sad to say</b> I’ve not purchased any sale items yet and to be honest haven’t done any shopping! I usually love wandering the stores in pursuit of a bargain or two, but have really been un-impressed with what shops are open locally and more importantly what they have on offer! I’m trying to pursue online buying but find scrolling the screen such a bore and end up switching before finding what I want and going through it all again on another site. I wonder if good old fashioned ’proper’ shopping will come back in fashion. It’s another reason to shop in the boutiques abroad - think I need to book a holiday eh!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>If you</b> follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C12Jk6JM8qU/?igsh=czRxeXVzOWJlc3l0" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Instagram</span></a> you might have seen my post sharing a knitted skirt. I bought it in TK Maxx a while back and it’s from Zara. Now I fell for the skirt which is a fine knit almost maxi length basically because I liked it. So without any hesitation I bought it. Well upon getting it home I left it hanging up thinking I’d find something that would <b>go with it</b> that would look just right. This has turned out to be a tricky skirt to style!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Fast forward</b> a few years and I’ve still not found anything other than a cream jumper and today’s fancy shirt that look okay with it! So what have I decided to do about it you ask. Well the skirt has gone to charity, I made up my mind not to keep the white elephant and have made a New Year’s resolution to only buy clothes that I 100% know I’ve got something to wear them with or buy something to complement it at the same time - a much better way to shop and I hope it works when I actually do get out to browse! Does this resonate with anyone else? How do you tackle shopping, do you only buy a full outfit?

Different shades either look just perfect or rather odd, that’s how I felt about this one especially when everything I put against it looked wrong. I didn’t want to settle on just a cream jumper or block colours. The waistband section is really flattering though, it’s almost got a band of smocking so holds in the tummy area nicely. It’s got a fine pleat too which is an all time favourite of mine and never really dates, but it’s just the colour that winds me up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4XeUrt7WizbLvjmItw4ssh2zagwZPc4FeHITTIfQ_QTDt28aSA6-LLmOS09HY4VULSkgNaUmi9HYgm5YtiQpjVigzIobi8R6CH9j7wYWD4kRahUvusAXM-obdIo2gKNftVVy3NILXSaTQ1wyJtz_7nnN0tJJXCemv9Jhw-ahNK49ucN3hfjBCLYOVCVw/s3626/IMG_8973.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3626" data-original-width="2547" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4XeUrt7WizbLvjmItw4ssh2zagwZPc4FeHITTIfQ_QTDt28aSA6-LLmOS09HY4VULSkgNaUmi9HYgm5YtiQpjVigzIobi8R6CH9j7wYWD4kRahUvusAXM-obdIo2gKNftVVy3NILXSaTQ1wyJtz_7nnN0tJJXCemv9Jhw-ahNK49ucN3hfjBCLYOVCVw/s16000/IMG_8973.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>I did team this bridle design shirt</b> with it as it’s got a similar shade running through it.

I’m not really a Winter person unless I’m skiing so the recent cold snap has been awful! I’ve been taking full advantage of <a href="https://www.mummabstylish.com/2022/12/Lands-end-padded-coat-navy-beany-hat.html?m=1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">this padded maxi coat </span></a>at every opportunity. It’s so warm and cosy and it’s still available so if you’re in need of a suitable coat for this season I’d definitely recommend this one!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Dry January</b> is going well as is the calorie counting. Both have actually been quite good and I’m pleased to say I’ve stuck to them! Yay! 🥳 It’s been easier because all the family are committed which has made dinners so much easier, we’ve all been contributing to the menus and have been planning the meals in advance. It’s not been hard at all and if I feel hungry I grab a glass of water. Calorie counting is more about what you can have rather than what you can’t like lots of diets, so long as you include ALL what you eat (I have an app to keep a track of everything). I’ve been having chocolate, crisps and bread along with Nozeco which is a delicious alternative to my favourite tipple - Prosecco. 🍾 So wish me luck with this and hopefully you’ll be able to see the results for yourself soon. 😁</div><div><br /></div><div>New Year’s Eve seems a long time ago and I neglected to share my dress with you, which is just as well because you’ve seen it before.

It’s a fitted style that has shapely drape effect running down the front which finishes at the top of a deep slit.

I have to add I like to mix up my shopping routines and buy both high end and low and blend the two together!<div><br /></div><div>***********************************************************************************</div><div>Time for the Chicandstylish #Linkup</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnbgjNepj56fvvfYDqk0vpGp7lTAbU4isecw_ArQKKp6x94ot6wTsI11DQie_lijVbJKHtu_CjAQmq5mM9uwdQpxwOiqZu_ZlDMbWlmTwxdPnHM7T_e1SJgp0LVkbbJpuNWX9rhyphenhyphen84YrCNS-RxFFANdcVu0Igu_9ImYoMKtc84tFOxg_KrHg6ahl0_nlY/s820/_Chic&Stylish%20(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="312" data-original-width="820" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnbgjNepj56fvvfYDqk0vpGp7lTAbU4isecw_ArQKKp6x94ot6wTsI11DQie_lijVbJKHtu_CjAQmq5mM9uwdQpxwOiqZu_ZlDMbWlmTwxdPnHM7T_e1SJgp0LVkbbJpuNWX9rhyphenhyphen84YrCNS-RxFFANdcVu0Igu_9ImYoMKtc84tFOxg_KrHg6ahl0_nlY/s16000/_Chic&Stylish%20(1).png" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Favourite blogger from last week is <span style="color: #ff00fe;"><a href="https://chezmireillefashiontravelmom.com/2023/12/26/christmas-looks-festive-wear-for-church-and-more/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Mireille - Chez Mireille Fashion Travel Mom</span></a> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 0, 254);">Please do head over to her blog for all the details of her Christmas outfits. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://chezmireillefashiontravelmom.com/2023/12/26/christmas-looks-festive-wear-for-church-and-more/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1713" data-original-width="1022" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAlOifcHcYa9uowza30320ykn_LjuEn6T_Iqt7RofsK4FLuoHAMpIrZEW5ZrQkvC0ovjfPIQRBqeZejdAUVbxQM4xUiLB98N4FVxqEVym7xh0nCrq8DUB-nMn2UoaRYwKCLvErL4vmmK4FcgNRwBFjYkqyqypjmR8E5MxdjiYZ0jWdyq7yqEl3RG4C4k/s16000/IMG_8782.jpeg" /></a></div><br /></div><div><div>Now let's start linking up.</div><div>Here are some guidelines.</div><div>Please follow your host on <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/jacqui6372/" target="_blank">Pinterest,</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/mummabstylish" target="_blank">Twitter,</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mummabstylish" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mummabstylish/" target="_blank">Instagram.</a></div><div>Link up your fashion and beauty posts, other topics allowed.</div><div>We all like to get compliments, so please leave a nice comment when visiting a blog or two.</div><div>Please link back to <a href="https://www.mummabstylish.com/" target="_blank">Mummabstylish </a>blog post.</div><div>You can also share the love on social media.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>

Hello & Happy New Year to you all!<div>I can’t believe it’s actually 2024 now. </div><div>(Apologies for the late posting).</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Did</b> you have a fun evening? What did you do to see the old year out and the new year in? Here’s what I got up to. </div><div><b>I was out with friends</b> for dinner and drinks, there was also a band playing resulting in a little mum dancing too!</div><div>Today I have all the family for dinner, it’s going to be a tight squeeze and my daughter even suggested having different sittings lol! Roast gammon on the menu with sausages wrapped in bacon, roast potatoes and all the usual veg. David will make a gravy to accompany the meat and I’m sure it’ll be tasty like normal. I made a banoffee pie yesterday and my daughter made a trifle both of which will go down very well. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>I’m contemplating</b> doing ‘dry January’ this year, so I’ll let you know how it goes, today will be a test to see if I can go through with it (I’m honestly not an alcoholic, but love a sociable drink). I’ve been drinking a nonalcoholic drink called Nozecco which is rather nice, so I’ll have to stock up on that for the foreseeable. </div><div><br /></div><div>So a new Monday, month and year can only mean one thing … the <b>December Review. </b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>At the start of December</b> I was getting myself psyched up for the festive period.

Good morning and a big hug for joining me today. <div>How’s your Christmas gone?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>It actually</b> seemed to come and go really quickly for me. </div><div>There I was enjoying Christmas Eve in Canterbury for a last minute shop, couple of drinks and fantastic meal in one of my favourite restaurants. The next I’m sitting here preparing today’s blog post! The town was very quiet to be fair and I reckon most people completed their shopping by Friday! Even the supermarket wasn’t that busy, which made getting the last minute ‘essentials’ easy! By last minute essentials I mean sweets and chocolates … lol!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtu4TcBIS-F1EaZxC6qlMU4JBvftAFGuP3_9lpuDwFBq6A-WvkG_TmU3heE2UShbLve0KVWvxd1_OfwTMdDtOjvWW6KiX82i56ykGo2IvcRaWnIjjPgNdi-EYa8tMahp6MrnXDSXCcQN6Lw22x0LPn6QGIBbi8okaxgOZyhyphenhypheni51bJ-RlF5HdjfHEuRzqE/s4032/IMG_8434.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtu4TcBIS-F1EaZxC6qlMU4JBvftAFGuP3_9lpuDwFBq6A-WvkG_TmU3heE2UShbLve0KVWvxd1_OfwTMdDtOjvWW6KiX82i56ykGo2IvcRaWnIjjPgNdi-EYa8tMahp6MrnXDSXCcQN6Lw22x0LPn6QGIBbi8okaxgOZyhyphenhypheni51bJ-RlF5HdjfHEuRzqE/s16000/IMG_8434.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div><b>Sunday evening</b> we prepared the turkey ready for an early cooking time of 4 am (David always wakes up and puts it in) which was a good job as I’d had a few more glasses of fizz than I’d planned to have, this resulted in not cooking the red cabbage and paté like I normally do the night before the big day. So on Christmas morning I had to add those jobs to my list! Anyway with help of the kids I managed to get everything done, with David doing lots of the cooking! We sat down to an amazing spread at 4.30 and what a tasty dinner it was!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Tuesday</b> was much more relaxed and although I had one extra guest than Christmas Day (15 of us were seated) it’s always so much more chilled! I enjoy Boxing Day for this reason, if it’s not done it really doesn’t matter unlike the 25th!</div><div><b>Today</b>, much like yesterday will be spent on the sofa in front of the telly, the run up to the festive period is always such a mad time, so it’s a much needed time to recuperate and recharge the batteries! What do you do in the twixmas period?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>As usual</b> I’ve been truly spoilt with some stunning gifts. I got a super stylish red bag, earrings, bracelet, Trinny eyeshadow, Neal’s Yard products and lots more, I’m sure over the next few weeks I’ll share some with you. Did you get some lovely presents? Let me know in the comments section what you got!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>This is us in El Sol</b> tapas in Canterbury, which was so good. I really enjoy having this style of food as you get to enjoy so much more than one plate. Here’s some dishes I devoured with the help of David, Emily and Sophie. It was funny when the waiter said maybe we’d ordered too much! We ate it all!!!

I know lots of people only get dressed up for special occasions like Christmas parties and nights out, but it always makes me happier when I’ve made the effort and that does a lot for one’s state of mind - if you feel happy you can spread happiness around - it’s contagious. Have you ever smiled at a stranger and they smile back? Try it, it works for me!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Dressing up</b> in December has to be the best time to do it don’t you think? With fabric like velvet & satin and sequin covered items surely this must be the best season!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>I needed another</b> couple of weeks to get going on this month’s prompt and was literally flicking through my wardrobe and drawers on Friday morning searching for something. I ended up with my recent Vinted purchase (my red trousers) and combed through my daughter’s wardrobe to find a red top! I spotted this delicious satin gold blouse and immediate changed my mind. It’s a silky soft shirt in a stunning shade of shimmering gold complete with gold buttons. I thought it could work, and hey presto it did. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCWGjTg5AlyChYJNURekFNmpGe84Lu9QlxOMuz15bCjDDvTgyM2NojnU7Ej5-8Zzp6zv3oW9e7SOzrkakG_0HY1zANc-sFrzXmyG76HupxLyntoj93NmzXWcg1CTm7vjW6KxDSKgGvs_r3nNIFpwk2snbSy9y5phSxFhAw0ji2IL9OjF9z5FY7AOBKkHk/s1676/IMG_8421.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1676" data-original-width="1078" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCWGjTg5AlyChYJNURekFNmpGe84Lu9QlxOMuz15bCjDDvTgyM2NojnU7Ej5-8Zzp6zv3oW9e7SOzrkakG_0HY1zANc-sFrzXmyG76HupxLyntoj93NmzXWcg1CTm7vjW6KxDSKgGvs_r3nNIFpwk2snbSy9y5phSxFhAw0ji2IL9OjF9z5FY7AOBKkHk/s16000/IMG_8421.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxOQ8cwEI3K5TEjtvrtgZus2LdUh6zJ3IKINOxFObx7Et70gqu6dq6ZlK5iQvfGIOCQDF3hzy2Oqpb5dLjrJE9VHARkygrGZ-xTQczqr7dNxeYv31TpGgb2HNjPBgQ66ZXroXCcEU7aL_WoeqHIVQurAwJxkoDAY4ntPq60Xtoe08P9su-Id6aO-fyny4/s4032/IMG_8393.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxOQ8cwEI3K5TEjtvrtgZus2LdUh6zJ3IKINOxFObx7Et70gqu6dq6ZlK5iQvfGIOCQDF3hzy2Oqpb5dLjrJE9VHARkygrGZ-xTQczqr7dNxeYv31TpGgb2HNjPBgQ66ZXroXCcEU7aL_WoeqHIVQurAwJxkoDAY4ntPq60Xtoe08P9su-Id6aO-fyny4/s16000/IMG_8393.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>As I previously mentioned <a href="https://www.isthismutton.com/?m=1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Gail - Is this Mutton?</span></a> Picked the prompt this month so let’s take a look at her stunning outfit. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.isthismutton.com/?m=1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="3256" data-original-width="2057" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiMByffCxYV-MX_EHdjeW2ETvgQR5ySqI-xfnPJklBrSRfvtMRvYBjedE-MFCjoVhmfBwYJfoB_UF3mbTvxTAYAhPJOU-5B90FE2sJzsBsBP_ysdqsWmEjhiyCFqt2aKufkL2r904emE5mn7vbCe1cU63smEZREp6SzRJV0GdAyyc8PKwtsbtAuy6sp10/s16000/gold-glamour.jpeg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Our second look comes from <a href="https://overthehilda.ie/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Hilda - Over the Hilda</span></a> and doesn’t she look comfy in her rust coloured co-ord!
