Who doesn’t love cheap frills? I’m into frills of any kind, but the thrifty ones are the best! It was my turn to set this month’s Thrifty Six theme, so that’s what I chose. I found this blouse on Vinted last year. It’s by the label Elsa.m by May, a brand I first discovered in […]

We’ve had sunshine and temperatures in the teens! I know this is probably what’s known as a “fool’s spring” but I’m not going to knock it. I even got some washing on the line for the first time this year! It wasn’t so sunny on Sunday when we took these photos, but it was mild. […]

How’s your week going? I’m a little late posting the link up this week as it’s been a busy one! You know how it is when there are lots of little jobs to do that end up taking way more time than you anticipated? Well, that’s how it’s been for me so far this week. […]

How was your weekend? For me it was one of two halves; Saturday was dry and sunny so we got some gardening done, whereas Sunday was dull and rainy and I didn’t feel like doing much at all. This is the last week of meteorological winter and I’m heartily glad it’s nearly over! It’s my […]

I went so long without wearing jeans, and then like buses, two styles came along that are now part of my regular casual wardrobe. First the Marks and Spencer palazzo style, and then these barrel leg jeans. They make a change from joggers, which is what I often wear when I’m at home. Wearing an elevated casual […]

Do you recognise this print? If it looks familiar, you probably remember seeing me wear these trousers with the matching jacket in this post. Although I have no record of ordering it, the matching shirt also arrived in the parcel. Not that I’m complaining…I think I actually prefer it to the jacket. The cut of […]

I’ve found some absolute gems on Vinted and eBay over the years, but this coat is one of, if not, THE best! Now, I have a bit of an addiction to colourful faux fur, but this coat is really special. Fans of the BBC comedy Alma’s Not Normal would say it’s iconic. Where to get […]

As we come to the end of January I’m feeling relieved…it’s my least favourite month and it always seems to drag. Now spring is in sight and it’s staying lighter for longer. I do hope we’ll see more colourful fashion in the shops because the last few times I’ve been to Zara and the like […]

Welcome to the first Style Not Age challenge of the year! We are now a group of four since Gail decided to leave. Gail is still blogging though so you can stay up to date with what she’s doing. Anna chose “Winter Woolies” for our January prompt. (The title made me giggle because my married […]

Is it too early to start thinking about spring yet? Even though it was bitterly cold I really wanted to wear this colourful check trench coat. They are a spring staple, the ideal outer layer for the coming season. And they never go out of fashion, so buying one will be a wise investment. With […]
