The older I get, the more 😄optimistic 😄 I become...but this was a step too far 😫. Espadrilles and short sleeves saw me FREEZING ❄️❄️ in the supermarket this un-sunny Sunday morning. The forecast for next week is ☀️☀️🏖. Once the opaques have been discarded for the season, there’s no going back for me - so bring it on! 🤞🤞 #summerdressing #midlifeblogger . . . . . #outfitideas #fashionpost #everydaystyle #mystyle #styleblogger #50plusblog #40plusblog #mylookoftheday #whatimwearing #50plusfashion #50plusstyle #40plusstyle #40plusfashion #outfitoftheday #ootd #wiw ##mumofteens #mumofteenagers #espadrilles #espadrillewedges

I look lonely in this pic...because neither daughter will pose with me! Having a chilled shopping day in town with them before they go back to school and uni. Met my gorgeous friend @shartyn for a quick lunch and now spending a small fortune in @lovebravissimo So love spending time with the special women in my life ❤️ #fridaymood #shoppingtime . . . . . #outfitideas #fashionpost #everydaystyle #mystyle #styleblogger #50plusblog #40plusblog #mylookoftheday #whatimwearing #50plusfashion #50plusstyle #40plusstyle #40plusfashion #outfitoftheday #ootd #wiw #friday #mumofteens #mumofteenagers #trench #burberry #stansmiths

Desperate to wear some 🌸spring-like 🌸colours, but stuck to my beloved monochrome 🖤⚪️ 🖤 for Sunday lunch with lovely friends because of the horrible weather. And my feet were FREEZING ❄️😫. Now snuggled up on the sofa with Daughter Home From Uni. Hope she’s never too old for a cuddle 😍😍😍 #sundayvibes #clingymummy . . . . . #outfitideas #fashionpost #everydaystyle #mystyle #styleblogger #50plusblog #40plusblog #mylookoftheday #whatimwearing #50plusfashion #50plusstyle #40plusstyle #40plusfashion #outfitoftheday #ootd #wiw #lazysunday #mumofteens #mumofteenagers

👑 Queen Kylie 👑 is spot on 👊🏻. Being in your 50s IS pretty cool. For many of us, life really does keep getting better and better 😁😁. I’ve said before I know how lucky (lucky, lucky 😝) I am to have my health. It obviously makes a huge difference, but I genuinely find such happiness in growing older. Elsewhere in her interview with Red magazine (she’s the May cover), Kylie says she is accepting of her age. Personally, I’m not just accepting of my age, I’m 🎉celebratory 🎉about it. If society at large celebrated rather than sidelined women in their 50s, 60s and beyond, it’d be better for ALL of us 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻. #instaquotes #kylie #over50andfabulous . . . . . #quote #wordstoliveby #instamotivation #inspiration #lifeinspiration #wisewords #aging #beautifulwomen #maturebeauty #kyliequotes #kylieminogue #mumblogger #over40blogger #over50blogger #40plusbeauty #50plusbeauty #midlifestyle #midlifequotes #olderwomen #ageingwell

I ❤️ a striped shirt for work. With the navy skirt, it does smack a little of school uniform, but, when in doubt, slap on a red 💄👄. At least, according to the weather forecast, we won’t be in opaques for much longer🤞 🌸🌼🌸 . . . . . #outfitideas #fashionpost #everydaystyle #mystyle #styleblogger #50plusblog #40plusblog #mylookoftheday #whatimwearing #50plusfashion #50plusstyle #40plusstyle #40plusfashion #workwear #workwearinspo #outfitoftheday #ootd #workshirt #wiw #workingwardrobe #wiwt #officewear

Back to work 😫. Taking a half day 😁. And the sun is shining 🌞🎉. I’ve gone for an VERY loose shirt today to conceal the chocolate baby I’ve grown over the Easter weekend. Back on #slimmingworld today. So reassuring to know you can have a few feasting days then get back on plan. Outfit: All old.

❤️The five of us have spent many an Easter Sunday on a British beach...and some years we’ve even been able to swim. No chance of that this year ❄️❄️❄️. #familytime #avonbeach #beachdog

Ok, so this shirt isn’t silk, but it washes like a dream 👍 and doesn’t need ironing 👊🏻. I wear a face full of make-up and the brilliant bonus of this print is that any foundation/lipstick on your collar just blends in 😂. It’s a subtle blush pink 🐷 and I’d wear it with pale denim and sneakers too. A true wardrobe ⭐️hero⭐️. Did I mention it’s £19.99? 🎉🎉🎉It’s the second one of this style I’ve had from H&M. I wear the first to work as often as my very similar @andotherstories silk shirt. Wash and wear, wash and wear. There are lots of prints and block colours in stock at @hm this season. I’ll put my other one of Stories #workingwardrobe #smartcasual #40plusstyle

Best high street balm cleanser ever 🎉! Cheapie SPF day cream 👍! Yes, it’s time for my Empties roundup 😀😀. I’ve been collecting this lot for a couple of months. Watch me chatting through them on Stories☝️. I’ll save in my Beauty highlights under my bio too so you can find it easily. Blogs on eye creams for over 40s and eyebrow pencils for the sparse-of-brow coming next week. ⭐️⭐️ #beautyblogger #beautyempties

Good To Know

As well as buying items and services featured in my blog, I am lucky enough to be sent samples and given gifts by brands. I accept only those I genuinely like and believe in or which I want to trial and report back on. I always clearly mark anything I’ve been sent or commercial activity within posts. In the spirit of How To Wear Well (ie not being an ass) my opinions are not swayed by having been given something rather than having paid for it.
