Style Not Age Dress for the Heat.

Morning everyone.
How are you?

Wow hasn’t it been a scorcher here in the uk! We’ve really been having some Mediterranean weather here, just a shame for everyone going about their daily work and chores. All I’ve wanted to do is sit by the pool with a cocktail in my hand, shame I’ve haven’t got a pool, or cocktail maker in sight!!

We had a family bbq yesterday and enjoyed some tasty treats. David did the bbq, it’s always a man’s job isn’t it! He did end up with a burnt tummy after cooking all the burgers, sausages, chicken, kofte’s - and king prawns on skewers, which were marinated in garlic and chillies, along with a few tasty salads made by my daughter Sophie. She did a Greek salad, two potato salads, pasta salad and burrata salad, which was delicious by the way, and lots of little extras. The diet went flying out the window and everything was washed down with a few proseccos! The weather was incredible and we had to pop the sprinkler on for the kids to run around in! I admit to joining them for a cool down which they loved & thought was very funny. Family time is the best isn’t it. 
In the evening, after a cool shower I settled down to watching the last night of Glastonbury. I’ve mixed feelings about this annual event and although I’d LOVE to go feel I’d hate it at the same time. Queueing, being too hot (or cold or wet), camping - not for me, being pinched and shoved and having to find everything as it’s so vast sounds awful. But the atmosphere, well having spoken to many people who’ve been is amazing. So maybe one day I’ll go, maybe glamping would be my vibe! 😂

Anyhow, back to today’s topic, it’s time for Style not Age to take to the stage and our prompt this month is set by Hilda so we are … Dressing for the Heat.

Leopard Print Skirt Styling - Chicandstylish #Linkup



Morning all. 
How’s your world treating you?

Nothing much to report really, just a normal week so far but a busy weekend on the horizon for me. 
I missed gym on Monday after not feeling 100% so Wednesday’s were my only two classes this week. I’m still going to Fight Club and have to admit to struggling with the routine yesterday! Maybe it’s because I’m getting over a cold or just getting old but trying to grasp the whole routine was a nightmare, I kept having to stop and I think the instructor had given up on me! If you’re messing up the routine you have to go and do either press up’s or burpees so guess who was doing those first! 😂. So fingers crossed I’ll be back to normal and grasp the workout quicker next week or I might have to consider doing a different class! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
On a better note though I went through the jacket section of my wardrobe and added a few, that I didn’t want anymore, to Vinted. I’ve got rid of about 5 so far, only for a few £’s but it’s good to pass them on and give them a new lease of life isn’t it! Do you sell on Vinted or what’s a similar site where you are?


Today I’m sharing something I wore on Tuesday to visit my mum, it’s an old faithful skirt and new Tee shirt & I’m really pleased with the look. Do let me know your thoughts.
