Welcome to this month's Style Not Age challenge.

This time for our monthly challenge Gail came up with the brilliant idea of "What I'd wear on the Frow".  To the uninitiated, like me, that's the Front Row of a fashion show. Paris Fashion Week is due to commence on the 28th of September and despite the pandemic, the show must go on! My take on this was that my particular fashion show was socially distanced and therefore the runway is an outdoors affair. You can tell by my expression that the next model is impressive.




As you can see, Gail truly entered into the spirit of things, inspiring us with this timely theme.  See more and get the low down on her outfit over on Is This Mutton blog now.




Jacqui chose a fabulous backdrop for her relaxed but stylish ensemble. Check out her blog Mummabstylish for her spin on this challenge.




Style Splash Emma opted for a funky pair of culottes to build her Frow outfit around. A spinkling of animal print raised the bar just that little bit higher too!




Hilda played it super cool with this fabulous Spanx trouser suit, topping it off with a stylish fedora - can't you just imagine her turning up at a fashion show in this? See more on her blog Over The Hilda.




If indeed I were going to attend a fashion show, then the coat would be equally important as the outfit. This pink trench, (Topshop, pre-loved), with its black and white gingham lining couldn't be a better match for today's ensemble. The turned up sleeves show the fabric nicely and also allow the lace cuff of the blouse to be exposed too.




The lace blouse was from Zara last summer and has become a real wardrobe staple for me. I seem to wear it at least once a week currently as it's so versatile with a vest top underneath or like today worn as part of a dungaree combination. I wanted to show the pretty pattern in this shot.






My outfit may not be of the caliber of the immaculate Anna Wintour and perhaps if I really did attend a fashion show I would chose to wear a less quirky and more classic type of ensemble. Who knows?




The mini Candy Bag is by Furla and is my bag of the moment. The black and white shoes are by Nine West, sourced at TK Maxx.




And of course if I'm showcasing a black and white outfit then it's gotta be my black and white Quay Australia sunglasses. 




Many thanks to Gail for throwing the gauntlet down with this great challenge. It was good to have a bit of role-play this time too! I do hope you enjoyed it and will find time to pop across to read the backstories of the others in the Style Collective.

  2. I just adore this Anna and that bag is so cute. The pink trench with the wonderful lining certainly finishes it off. If only we could meet up at London Fashion Week. I would settle for the back row....

  3. I think pink with gingham works so well, and that coat is the perfect accessory for Winter. What a fun challenge this was, just not sure mine was the right look. Jacqui x

  5. Hi Anna, you look stunning in your black and white outfit with the pink sidekick. And I love the surrounding. Write this comment from my holidays in Bavaria (lovely Chiemgau with the Chiemsee, a beautiful lake). Sadly we have less sunshine and a lot of water from above. Maybe tomorrow we can start Stand Up Paddeling at least!
    Big hugs to you,
    Susa

  6. I loved this post Anna. As I've said the only thing missing is all of you sitting together at the catwalk. Imagine that? But please send me an invite too!xx

    1. Lovely to hear from you Laurie. I think we'd all relish the thought of a meet-up at a venue like that x

  7. Gorgeous outfit Anna. I love the bright pink bag and coat; you would certainly be noticed in the front row!
    Interesting challenge.

    1. This fantasy Frow was much more fun than the real thing would be x

  8. What a fun outfit - I love that your pink coat's lining echoes that jumpsuit. Great idea for a theme, and is it a coincidence that you all did black? I guess if I ever get a front row seat to a fashion show I'll have to dig some black out!

    Hope you are well, my dear!

    1. I did enjoy pulling this look together, but goodness it would be quite another story if I really did get a chance to visit a fashion show. Imagine the turmoil in finding the perfect outfit!
