Weekend Style
Kerfuffle over. Team TNMA back in residence. And hooray for a long, lazy weekend in London. So, I actually can’t stop wearing my coloured jeans and chinos – though not at the same time, I alternate, obviously – and that’s exactly what I’ll be doing over the Bank Holiday. And now that I’ve grown accustomed to a brightly coloured bottom half, I’m thinking of diversifying. Soon my wardrobe will be blushing with pride. That’s Not My Age loves a summer jacket, and this soft pink Current Elliott number looks lovely with chinos – and it’ll be good with flared jeans too. Got both of those, plus enough stripey t-shirts to set up shop next to the Grand Canal in Venice. Mmm…there’s a thought, I could do with the extra Euros.
That’s Not My Age has also been pondering the delights of the Mum Bag. OK, I know that this is the kind of thing Alexa Chung and her mates carry off with ease but this blog is all about grown-up style for proper grown-ups. So forget about the youngsters for the time being, just remember to keep the rest of the outfit slick and never ever do Mum Shoes and Bag at the same time. I like this Tula shoulder bag, it has a real seventies, Linda McCartney-feel and I bet it’s got compartments!
And now that Ines has spoken, I’m on the look-out for a pair of Parisian Style penny loafers. Research tells me that the Church’s version is near-perfect, so just need to start saving – or maybe I should get myself and my t-shirts over to Italy!

You know, I've always loved the striped T on others, but have never found a flattering way to wear them myself. A colorful jacket may just be the key. Hmmmmmm….. Something new to consider! (Love the jacket)
i guess i'm gonna have to get this book, it really does sound interesting. and yay for the penny loafers – i love them.
The jacket is gorgeous and what a great way to add summer brights to your neutrals? I would wear it with my Current Elliott Captains trousers, only £50 from that Browns flash sale the other week!
Love the jacket and your comment about striped tee shirts – so funny! I am always drawn to them too. Agree, I like the idea of a Mum bag but… being on the other side of 50 (just!) I think I could be perceived as too, well 'Mum'! XX
Ellen – yes of course, I'm going to email you.
Metscan – Mmm..not so sure about that, I'm not small-boned and I would definitely wear it!
WeShop – I know it's a tad on the pricey side, I'm hoping it'll be in the sale. If not, you're right Gap are quite good for cotton summer jackets. I have a lovely printed one from a few years ago that I still wear.

That all looks very grown up.
Can I pick your brains? I have to go to a gala dinner in a swanky casino during a trip to Tunisia in the next couple of weeks. I haven't a clue what to wear. Can you suggest something? x
