Hello everyone , hope all is well in your part of the world.
A fairly quick post this week as to be honest things have been rather quiet around here lately . Winter is well and truly upon us with frosty mornings and cold nights but generally fine days. Both John and I have had colds but fortunately we have recovered fairly quickly. I also visited my hairdresser for a trim last week , still pleased with my short style but toying with going back to my signature bob – time will tell.
I also had a check up with my oncologist and was given a good report -yay.
John and I took a drive to the town of Longford , firstly to buy a few things at Hill Street Grocer but also to take blog photos at Woolmers Estate by the river. You can probably tell it was rather a chilly day so warm attire was the order of the day.
I started with a black base , Moyuru skirt and Paula Ryan knit , then added my much loved Lee Bird leopard print coat , a dark brown faux Lisa Ho cape (a recycle find) , leopard print gloves , leopard print velvet turban , leopard print tights and tan Neo lace up shoes . Can a girl ever wear too much leopard print , not in my book anyway . I actually asked this question on Instagram and the general consensus was in agreement. I have always loved it because it suited my skin tone and hair colour , both the blonde and red hair. This was the first time with my grey hair , still OK just not quite as bold perhaps.
I have had the coat for at least 25 years now and it never fails to draw compliments . One of the pluses of keeping our clothes is that they become timeless and unique .
I’ll finish this post with this card from my collection – the sentiment applies to anything that simply makes us feel fabulous.
Joining Gail at Is This Mutton for Wow on Wednesday ( late again).
Thank you Jill. You look marvelous as always
I missed you on Sunday but enjoyed John’s company. I am pleased you have recovered from your cold.

Sorry to have missed you on the run last Sunday Cheryl, hopefully we will catch up soon.
Oh wow, what an ensemble – absolutely fabulous. And lovely countryside.
You can never have enough leopard print. I have just bought a leopard duster coat – it’s not to wear right now but you will see it eventually. I shall wear it with my black skirt or leggings.

Thank you so very much Penny , this is a lovely spot at any time of year.
Glad you agree on the leopard print , I will look forward to seeing your duster.
Looking fabulous in all that leopard, Jill! I’m only sorry we didn’t get to see the tights….

Thank you so very much Mary Katherine . Sorry about the tights , I should have hitched up the skirt.

Wow, that coat is worth having Winter for, Jill. It’s absolutely stunning! Hard to imagine wearing a coat like that when it’s 30°C …
I’m thrilled to hear you were given a good report by your oncologist. That’s the best news ever! xxx

Thank you so very much Ann for your good wishes. Being able to wear my coats is definately the main plus of Winter. I had read that Summer had finally arrived for you.
Hi Jill
It’s great to hear that you had a good report from your oncologist – very happy news.
You look fabulous in your leopard print outfit – I’ve never met a leopard print I didn’t like.
I love your head wrap too.I’m trying to grow out a pixie cut which is at the awkward stage, so you’ve given me inspiration.
Stay warm.!

I too haven’t met a leopard print I didn’t like. Best of luck with growing out your pixie , enjoy the headwraps. xx
Yay for a good report from the oncologist!!! And, I’m glad you and your husband are recovering from your colds. I think this all leopard look is quintessentially you! It’s just so glamorous, fun, and chic! I really do like your shorter hair, but I also like to play with my haircuts.

Thank you so very much Marsha for your good wishes. Leopard print has always been a favourite of mine and I do feel good wearing it. I do still like my shorter hair so it will stay for a while , glad I’m not the only one who enjoys playing with different hair cuts.
Love love your entire leopard outfit! Never can go wrong with leopard. I like your hair but I will say that your red color bob looked fabulous with every outfit. Hope you get comment because I don’t know.
