Checked black and white top and black trousers Marella (4 van 4)Husband Ron has very good connections and lovely friends. One of them is Shoshanna who has recently changed career and is now a professional photographer. Ron asked her to make the photos for this post. We went to the old tram depot in Amsterdam, which is a bit of a run-down area. Very industrial which makes a nice contrast with the clothes I was wearing. The result of my visit to Dan (The Pretty Cute) gave me plenty outfits to choose from. As a matter of fact, I brought 4 outfits to the photo shoot. For this post I chose the checked black and white top.

Below: I think my face looks a bit like a laughing hyena in this picture, but we are always very critical of ourselves, aren’t we? The top and trousers are by Marella, which is a subbrand of Max Mara. Daniela found both items in the rack and thought they would be good for me. She could be my stylist forever. Honestly. A shame we live so far apart. The shoes you have seen before in this post and the bag is often used as my pop of colour with a black and white outfit.Checked black and white top and black trousers Marella (7 van 7)Below: this is what the outfit looks like with flat shoes. Very 1965 with the checked top. Flat shoes and me will always be a difficult thing due to my low arch and flat feet. As you can see the top is longer at the back and shorter at the front.Checked black and white top and black trousers Marella (1 van 1)Below: the long dangle pearl earrings are earrings my father gave my mother in the sixties. I had them repaired and adjusted to fit my thin earlobes. They were originally with a hook. However that would have showed the little hole in my earlobe is more like a slit, going nearly to the bottom. So I always have earrings altered to a pin-push earring, with the head of the pin covering the wide hole and with a bigger earring poussette at the back of my ear. The larger the poussette, the less the earring will tip over. The pearl necklace is something I have owned for ages. Checked black and white top and black trousers Marella (4 van 4)Below: I was showing Shoshanna that she had to be careful about the way the top was hanging if I put the bag over my shoulder. Also the necklace could be in an odd position. Both emphasizing the bosom haha.Checked black and white top and black trousers Marella (3 van 7)Below: this is the right way the top and the necklace should hang.Checked black and white top and black trousers Marella (4 van 7)Below: I just like this shot.Checked black and white top and black trousers Marella (1 van 4)Below: and the last one of the whole outfit.
