Party hair. Swipe for dress 🎉🎄🎉🎄😘

❄️Brrrr...‘tis the season for a big snuggly jumper. I look like a tank unless I balance the silhouette with something fitted on the bottoms. These skinnies do the trick and have the added advantage of stretch to accommodate the Christmas cake I’ll be eating for elevenses. #50plusblogger #simplestyle #highstreetfashion

✅✅✅ Short, showered in sparkles and under £20 in the sale - win, win, win. This glittery number has the potential to become my Christmas and New Year happy skirt ❤️😁❤️. #over50style #fridaymood

😱 Call the fashion police! A woman over 50 in a mini skirt 😱😱. A woman with boobs bigger than a D cup wearing a polo neck 😱😱😱. Two cardinal style sins committed, two fashion rules broken and...absolutely zero shits given. It took me a while, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about feeling good in your clothes, it’s that the only rules which count are your own 😁. I see so many amazing 😘 women 😘 rocking so many great looks on Insta. And those who like they are having the most fun (and fashion should surely be fun), are the rule breakers and the non-conformists. Here’s to us! #styleover50 #ageisjustanumber Top | @newlook Esprit (current) Skirt | @newlook (current) Boots | @riverisland (old)

It’s ❤️ THAT ❤️ shirt again. This time paired with my beloved Wedgies and surprisingly easy to walk in boots. Ok, I didn’t have to run for a bus, but I did walk to the car and back for a lunch meeting! #over50style #whatiwore Shirt | @zara (current) Jeans | @levis_uk (current) Boots | @zara (current)

Party time 🎉🎉🎉. Thanks to everyone who persuaded me the skirt was right for tonight! Have a lovely Saturday night 😘 Skirt - Zara (current) Cami - Whistles (ancient) Top - Autograph (ancient) Heels - Primark (ancient) #partytime #outout

Still ❤️❤️ leopard print, but this shirt dials it down a little and makes a change from the traditional brown and black. It’s a steal at £25. Size down #50plusblogger #leopardisaneutral

Have you ever seen a dress, bought it, ✅✅ confident you’ve made the right choice. And then tried it on two weeks later and thought: ‘I look like a Christmas elf!’ 😱❎. Black tie do tomorrow night. I was planning on wearing this perfectly lovely dress. But now it seems, well, wrong. And elf-like. So I have panic-bought a @zara sequinned skirt. In two sizes. With no idea what to wear with it (see Stories). So unlike me to dither 🤨. Not. I will post what I choose tomorrow. Back to my desk! I have a 5 of my best buys in November blog post to write. #mydiamondshoesaretootight #partywearpanic

Top tip for coated jeggings and faux leather trousers - go up a size ✅✅. Real leather loosens naturally with wear. And unless you like a spray-on latex effect, a slightly looser fit is more flattering. It also leaves room for mince pies 🥧😁. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Shirt @ (old) Jeggings @newlook Boots @riverisland (old)

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.
