Apologies for another delayed post, I promise things will get back to normal in due course.
So pleased you’ve found my blog and thanks to you all for joining me today.
To any new followers I thought as it’s a new year I’d take the opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself and why I started this blog.
When my youngest left school and went to work I suddenly felt out of place, having not worked (well paid work) since having my eldest daughter I feared I wouldn’t find something that suited me, fitted into my lifestyle and that I could do! I wanted something that would fit around my busy life helping my hubby and looking after my children (not that they needed me much) & subsequent grandchildren. I also reached an age where I felt my fashion and style should change. I looked to other outlets namely blogs to find out what I ‘should’ be wearing and do you know what I found & realised? Well I found that I could decide what I should wear and not be dictated to by anyone else. My one rule is that I wear clothes that I feel flatter my figure and don’t wear anything that I feel looks wrong. I dip into fashions here and there but generally I’m a classic girl and prefer to wear things like wide leg trousers, midi skirt lengths and elegant styles. With that being said I do grab a trendy item if I think it looks okay on me.
So before I knew it and with a bit of help along the way ( ok a lot) my blog was born and has thrived. I look to it as almost a diary and like to look back on posts to find out what I was doing, wearing and thinking … to be honest it’s rather therapeutic too, although I tend not to go into too much detail of more personal matters, you just never know what could happen the future do you!
I’m intrigued to find out what 2025 will bring and am excited to move forward with the blog and my other social platforms. I hope you’ll stick around and continue to follow and support me and will be publishing the brand new Chicandstylish Linkup on Thursday so I hope you’ll pop by for it. 👏
I’ve been so fortunate over the past few months having received some amazing gifts, therefore needing more clothes has been almost negligible. However needing and wanting are two completely different things aren’t they!
I had to return a couple of bits last week, so like you do came home with these lovely trousers from Matalan.
Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.
