Polka Dots with Style not Age.

Hello my friends. 
Hope you are okay. 

Last Monday of the month means the ladies gather together for the Style not Age challenge. 
This month’s prompt fell into the hands of Emma and she’s given us the topical challenge of … Polka Dots. 

I don’t have much in the way of spots in my wardrobe the only item I can really think of is a red and white spotty scarf. So I had to go looking and found this fab jumpsuit in Peacocks that looks stunning on. It’s one of those outfits you can dress up with heels and a fancy necklace for a night out or add flats or comfy sandals with a daytime bag and you’ve got an outfit suitable for a stroll to the club or family bbq. 

Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.

60th Birthday Celebrations.

Hiya 👋
You okay?

Hope you’ve had a super week, have you had good weather? We’ve had it a bit hotter and somewhat humid so on Friday night we had one almighty storm! We turned the lights off and watched the lightening light up the sky as if it was daytime! The claps of thunder signed it was right above us at times but fortunately we didn’t have too much rain so no danger of flooding. Of course by the next morning apart from a few puddles there was no sign of anything happening!

I went to a party on Saturday night. It was my best friends’s 60th celebrations and she had an enchanting garden party complete with pretty flowers and fairy lights. 
It was a lovely evening chatting with old friends and finding new ones - the ones you feel you already know because you’ve heard so much about them! We dancing ate and drank until the early hours and succumbed to the tired feelings that enveloped us all catching a taxi at 1 am! Wow what a way to celebrate your 60th but I needed the slow day on Sunday to recoup and get back to normal!

Always there to share good and bad times with a friendship that has never wained!

I wore this maxi dress but should have taken a little jacket with me as the wind didn’t retreat in the afternoon and made it seem so much colder. The food was delicious, I took a homemade pâté which went down really well - I’ve got some orders in for Christmas already! 😂
