Style Not Age - Borrowed from the Boys!

Good morning my friends.

Hope you are well.

Last Monday in March can only mean one thing .... a post featuring the ladies from the Style not Age collective.

This month fell to Emma to come up with an interesting topic and a rather engaging prompt she offered us too!

Borrowed from the Boys.

Well this left the challenge wide open quite honestly.  There were so many routes I could take, so I hope you are impressed with the one I chose.

I think Emma had more in mind to theoretically borrow styles that boys wear, where I took it more literally - I borrowed this from 'my boy'!

With a multitude of choices for this month's prompt - however I must admit to taking the easy option.  I literally borrowed this tee shirt from my son.  It's from a company called Criminal Damage that has loads of tops I like - maybe my son will buy some more that I can borrow!  😉

I added it to black peg style trousers (had them for years) and my new black blazer complete with shiny buttons to give it a more feminine feel.  Similar blazer here.

A suit, specially black really gives of a masculine feel, but pairing it with a brighter tee and pretty trainers definitely releases a more gentle tone - even if it's a man's Tee shirt.

Wearing trainers with trousers give an urban - streetwise feel and it's a look I love to wear. 

Paired with the high comfort level, there's a super outfit that can be worn for so many outings. 

Let us take a look how my 'Brothers' tackled the challenge.

First in the line up is the promptee ... Emma - The Style Splash. 

You've picked well Emma, your jacket is just perfect with your trousers and edgy boots - a great steal from the boys my friend. 

Next up is Anna - Anna's Island Style.  Anna has opted for suit.  She's put a girly twist on the navy suit with a pretty pink blouse complete with frilly sleeves.  Love it Anna. x

Shall we see how Hilda - Over the Hilda tackled the task this month.  She's gone for trousers and shirt with a the fashionable vest over the top, a borrowed hat from her husband gives it a manly finish.  

Finally let's look at Gail's outfit.  She's really given her boyish look a girly feel with the bright shades she's opted for.  Love all the womanly details Gail.  You can find all the details about her outfit on her blog - Is This Mutton.

Great to have you stop by, do join me on Thursday for the #Chicandstylish #LINKUP.

Until then, thanks its been fun to have you with me.

Many thanks to Esther for taking these photos at a safe distance. X

Bye for now.
