Style not Age share their Winter Woolies.

Morning my friends. 

How are you on this last Monday of the month?

I’m a bit sad. Emily and family moved back home to their new house over the weekend and I have to say I’m feeling the empty nest syndrome again! They’ve been here for 18 months which is a long time and I’ve got used to them being here including little Max and our new darling Violet. I’ve given myself a talking to as I know these feelings will pass, after all I’ve done it with her once already and I’ll still spend quality time with them in the future. It’s such a beautiful little house now, everything is new and it’s been lovely to watch it all come together after so much hard work. I’m hoping to get back into photo taking, blogging and sharing on all my social media platforms much like I did before they arrived. I’m sure many of you know how I feel and I’m very fortunate to have her and her older sister down the road only 5 mins away and my son is just 1/2 hour away too. X

So let’s get into this post. As you know I get together with three other ladies (did you see that Gail has taken a step back so is no longer joining us)? I wish her well and all good vibes for whatever she does, I’m sure you’ll still see her when she puts a blog post out. 

Our challenge is set by one of us to style clothes around a particular prompt and this month it was Anna’s turn and she came up with a snuggly title of ….

Winter Woolies. 

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

Morning everyone.

So pleased you could join me.

How have you been?  A busy few weeks for me with the baby's arrival growing ever closer!  The house is full with baby clothes and all the extras they need and I'm getting rather excited to say the least.  I'm wondering how Max is going to take the new baby.  He has his moments, but on the whole he's very good with me, David and the rest of the family, so I'm sure it wont be too hard for him when she goes off to hospital, well that's unless she takes after her sister, my eldest daughter, she popped our first grandchild out at home and didn't have time to get to the hospital!  So yes as they say anything can happen!

Another month has rolled by and don't they seem to be getting faster?  It'll be Christmas before we know it and we'll be enjoying all the delights that brings.  I've vowed to get presents done early (I know I say that every year) but I want to enjoy getting them and not having it to be a chore.  

So without further ado let's look back on my outfits for October for the ....

My first post featured a bit about Porto & Life insurance, you can read all about my exciting trip here and marvel at the photos of the special place David and I celebrated our 60th birthdays - albeit a tad late!

Faux Leather for the Style not Age ladies.

Hi there my lovelies.

Hope you're all safe and well.

Well I had a productive weekend with the lovely weather we had.  Managed to get out into the garden and do a bit of clearing whilst hubby and helpers shredded the branches we had chopped off the hedge.  

I also cleared the tubs and pruned some bushes making it look a whole lot better and gave me a very positive feeling.  I'm hoping Boris will have some promising news tomorrow evening, but am not holding my breath for any major changes to our situation yet!

As it's the last Monday of February it means the ladies from Style not Age have been hard at work creating their outfits for my prompt ...

Faux Leather.

There's been a lot of faux leather outfits around recently and I've been eyeing them all up and wanting to copy them.  So I managed to find a gorgeous pair of black trousers in said faux leather and also some flattering culottes in a sumptuous shade of chocolate brown.  I don't have very many pieces in this colour and like the softer alternative to black.  Now the problem with not having much in this tone means also not having much to pair it with!  I flicked through my wardrobe and came up with a few ideas including a soft pale blue top and a high neck blouse - both I'll be sharing soon.  My eyes fell upon this combination and I slipped it on and immediately felt very classy.  But do let me know what you think about my faux leather combination.

November Review.

Morning all.

Well what have you been up to?

I'm so excited as hubby and I have been decorating the spare room.  I've wanted a walk-in dressing room and have a stunning one planned on our new build but simply can't wait for that to happen.  So once the children moved out we've been hard at work painting and decorating arranging carpets, wardrobes, curtains and the ever popular Billy Bookcase from Ikea (so popular apparently one is sold every 5 seconds 🤯)  Once it's all finished I'll share some piccys with you as I've got a real statement piece that I'm thrilled with. x

I didn't post much in November but what I did share I'm condensing for you in today's post -

November Review

With saying a fond farewell to Gail and Laurie from the 5Over50 collective, we had a fabulous time sharing some snazzy, sleek and stylish outfits over the past few months.
Anna, Hilda, Emma and I are glad to welcome you to our brand new collaboration.
