Style not Age ... All Dressed up with nowhere to go!

Good morning my friends.
Glad you stopped by, you're just in time to see the latest from the ladies of the Style not Age collective.
It's fallen into my hands this month and I immediately knew what the title would be since we are all still in semi lock-down with a maximum of 6 people at a gathering! 😠  I was supposed to be out at my sister-in-law's on Saturday night, which would have been right up my street to get dressed up for a few drinks, some yummy snacks, laughter & dancing to the Juke Box, but Mr Johnson and Covid had other ideas.  I worry that all this will have a detrimental affect on our mindset if it carries on! I dread to think of the figures of suicides, abuse, mental issues and the like.  There's nothing to look forward to, no nights out with lots of friends, no parties and no holidays (without the fear of self isolation).  We need to have more than this in our lives - or else what's the point?  Sorry to be so negative, it just gets to me sometimes!  

Despite the inability to go out I had a very productive weekend at my daughter's new property, well I say me I mean my family.  We managed to lay turf in the garden (just in time for wet weather which is helpful) and the boys fitted bi-fold doors on my daughter's new extension.  It looks amazing now and is really coming together, seems it won't be long until they move on. 😢  You'll know when it happens and I'll need all your support my friends. x

So the prompt of All Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go is quite apt don't you think, let's just pretend to be going somewhere posh and exciting eh! 

Cold Blue Dress with Glitzy Drop Earrings and Icy Accents.

Morning all.
All good with you my friends?
Well my decorations are down, everything is getting back to normal and I'm just about seeing the bottom of the washing pile. 🤣  Now I'm starting to get a bit excited, you see the countdown is now on for my skiing holiday.  This year we are off to Sestriere, Italy.  The skiing will be fine so long as there's some snow, but it will be interesting to explore the town, restaurants and ... bars! Lol.  There's plenty of bags in the loft with all sorts of ski gear in, guess what I'll be doing over the next couple of weeks?? 😏
But here's one outfit I wont be taking with me, my suitcase will be packed with jeans, jumpers, tee shirts and ski gear - I can't wait!

Do you remember me sharing some sparkly earring and a striking bracelet last week?  I also gave you a snippet of these glamorous drop earrings when I teamed them with sequins & my leather look skirt.
I'd like to show my glitzy gems along with my cold blue pleated dress and icy accessories.

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

Throw back Thursday - Sharing my Dresses.

Morning, how are you?

All good here with this over fifty fashion blogger.  Getting prepared for my week away, so trying (not very well) to get on top of the washing and ironing.  Sorting out what to take, what I need and what frivolous additions I can get away with (baggage weight and space permitting)!
I know to add a couple of pashminas or scarfs - they seem to be top of the list for being respectful, plus a couple of swimsuits, shorts and tops, oh and a few dresses & jumpsuits then the rest will have to follow as I start packing.

So I thought I'd take you on a little trip down memory lane to visit some of my favourite outfits from the past few months.

Weekend Wedding wearing my Jacques Vert Dress.

Morning everyone, how are you on this sunny Bank Holiday Monday? - I've just about survived the wedding and I'm still in one piece albeit a little lot jaded!
What a weekend that was! Phew....

I'll be putting a blog together about my Niece's wedding day - so stay tuned in the next few weeks for a full update.

Today I thought I'd share a few snaps of the special day with you.
Do you love a wedding? Yes me too, where everyone gets dressed up in special clothes, looking wonderful in their Sunday best outfits, new hair styles & flawless make-up.  I'm no different from the rest and Saturday was the special day when me and the family could do just that!


All of my girls decided they were going to have their make-up professionally done so without wanting to be a party pooper I agreed to have mine done too.  I was thrilled with the results, never thinking I'd look anywhere near as good as my young off-spring, but Nina Gregory Make-up succeeded in making me look sophisticated and chic without looking like mutton with too much face-paint on!

My Jacques Vert pale blue lace dress looked and felt just like I imagined it would.  I'd seen this dress some months ago, but thought I may find something that I preferred more, I should have stuck to my first instincts and bought this fashionable piece back in May, but I supposed I wouldn't have managed to buy it in the sale then!
So here's a couple of shots from my weekend wedding, see you soon for the full update.

Thanks for stopping by, please come back again to hear about my wedding weekend.   I've got an exciting co-host posting to share with you all, so I'll see you bright and early Thursday morning. 😁

Much appreciation to you all.
