Orange Maxi Dress

Orange Maxi Dress

I think we can all agree that outfit repeating is a good thing, right? Well, I seem to have taken it a step further by wearing the same outfit AND accessories in the same place! I wore this orange maxi dress, hat, sunglasses and sandals in the Museu Quinta Das Cruzes last October. In fact, […]

Pink and Green Check Trousers

Pink and Green Check Trousers

Do you remember the orange and purple check suit in last week’s post? Well, these are the trousers in a different colourway. The jacket was sold out, although it’s now come back in stock in some sizes (still in sale). As I have jackets in bright pink, green and lime, I already have several options […]

Denim…But Not Jeans – March Style Not Age

Denim…But Not Jeans – March Style Not Age

I’m stepping back to the 80s for today’s outfit! When Jacqui chose the theme of Denim…But Not Jeans for this month’s Style Not Age post I immediately thought of my customised jacket and my two denim dresses. As I’ve already worn the jacket for a previous Style Not Age challenge and the other vintage denim […]

Everyday Fashion For Spring From Very

Everyday Fashion For Spring From Very

I love seeing all the new season fashion at this time of year; winter is behind us and we can look forward to lighter evenings and milder temperatures. That said, we’ve had some very changeable weather lately; one day last week we started with snow in the morning and had bright blue skies and sunshine […]

Fumbalinas Orange Print Kaftan

Fumbalinas Orange Print Kaftan

Happy International Women’s Day! I’m a day late with this post, watching the snow falling and wishing I was back in Agadir. I often think I was born to live somewhere warm, wafting around in a kaftan (retirement goals!). I drove to my mum’s yesterday with an aching back and knees, and collapsed on the […]

All Buttoned Up – February’s Style Not Age

Happy Monday! As it’s the last one of the month it’s time for February’s Style Not Age challenge. It was Gail’s turn to set the theme and she chose “All Buttoned Up”. My thoughts immediately turned to this button print shirt from Salamander Shirts. I’ve previously teamed it with green trousers and a pink beret […]

Cartoon Dog Print Shirt

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’ve had a lovely day, whether you celebrate it or not. We didn’t make any plans as we’re busy getting everything ready for Isobel’s ski trip on Friday. It has been a whirlwind few days since I drove back from mum’s on Friday afternoon. You may have seen on my […]

Green Flower Pattern Jumper

Green Flower Pattern Jumper

It was only three weeks ago that I wore these green trousers with my green shaggy coat but here they are again! They are among my favourites and they go with so many other items in my wardrobe. This green flower pattern jumper is a fairly recent purchase; I bought it from TK Maxx at […]

Leopard Print and Pink

Leopard Print and Pink

How’s your week going so far? I’ve been catching up with jobs around the house after being away most of last week…all the boring stuff: washing, putting stuff away, taxing the car. At the moment we have no trips booked and I could really do with something to look forward to. Isobel is going on […]

Hot Pink and Emerald Green

Hot Pink and Emerald Green

How’s your week going so far? I always find January the toughest month – it feels way longer than 31 days! The weather has been dreadful, so rainy and grey. This is when colourful clothes come to the rescue! You’ve probably heard of the term “dopamine dressing”, which refers to actively choosing to wear clothes […]
