As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{Fashion Monday} Simple yet stylish

Simple yet stylish

{Fashion Monday} Simple yet stylish is the outfit I choose to start off February’s Fashion Monday. Regular readers know how much I love sharing simple yet stylish outfits. I am not much of a stylish person but I wear what I am most comfortable in and I feel like myself.

{Fashion Monday} Simple yet stylish

Fashion to be is not about trends or what do’s or what not’s for me. It’s about being able to put an outfit together that makes me comfortable, happy and relaxed. It’s not about feeling l like it does not suit me or I am wearing it all wrong. My definition of fashion is definitely different to your everyday fashionista. Though I am picky about my lingerie {should always match} I am not so fussed about matching the outside.

If my outfit dosn’t match my bag or my coat it’s not the end of the world. So long as the colours work together in whatever way I am good. This look I am sharing today can be worn to run errands, appointments or even date night. This is what I consider a relaxed look which is simple yet stylish. The peplum top on a nice pair of skinny jeans gives this look the stylishness. Adding minimum accessories also brings this look the attention it deserves. As I am into crossover bags at the moment I knew it would make a feature in this outfit post.

Because it would be wrong to travel the UK without a pair of sunnies I added these leopard print. To finish the look I paird it with these brown ankle boots though red or grey boots would work too.

 

How do you feel about your dress sense? Are you a trend follower or the always have to have the ‘in-fashion’ clothes?

    I try to be stylish but struggle sometimes since I’m smaller but over 50. So many clothes are fun but I feel too young for me. I try not to get into the jeans & sweatshirt rut for my errands or even grocery shopping. Staying warm wins out right now though.

    That’s a lot of items for one look. If it was warmer weather that outfit would be fine, but lately it’s been super cold and windy and it’s nonsense. I do like the bag however.
