How Annmarie O’Connor finally found her fashion voice at 45

She calls it the beauty of ageing (or not caring what anyone else thinks) – midway through her 40s, Annmarie O’Connor finally feels at ease with herself and her style, so much so she’s just signed a modelling contract. Welcome to the new ‘middle age’.

Next week I turn 45. To celebrate I’ve got tickets to see The Rolling Stones at Croke Park. Needless to say, I’ve already planned my outfit — a striped dandy suit and polka dot pocket square inspired by the late peacock legend, Brian Jones. For the record, this isn’t something I bought for the occasion. I wear it, have worn it and will continue to wear it. It just happens to be occasion-appropriate.
