Wearing a blue shirt one morning at the beach
The sky was blue, the sea was blue and I was wearing a blue shirt. Too much of a good thing? Looking at the photos (taken by husband Ron), I think it is a lovely combination. Ron had sent me some photos of backgrounds at the beach and I agreed they would be very good...
An atypical trouser suit
Most trouser suits I have seen, have jackets with sleeves. Mine hasn't, it is rather different. Not only is it sleeveless, the jacket and the trousers are an unusual style, which is why I call it an atypical trouser suit. I bought it at kpa.haarlem, after Karlijn, the...
Black Vivienne Westwood blouse
My friend Katrien gave me this black Vivienne Westwood blouse. She never wore it and thought I might like it. And I do. It took me a couple of hours to style it, while sending photos to Katrien for feedback. We both liked this skirt and these shoes best with the...
Walking through Amsterdam in a wide green trench coat
They say "Paris is always a good idea" and I agree, but I think the same applies to Amsterdam. I decided to wear my new wide green trench coat from kpa.haarlem, when I went to Amsterdam two weeks ago with my friend Helena. The trench coat is part of my husband's...
A striped jacket with big sleeves
Because trendy stuff, like a striped jacket with big sleeves, will become quickly dated, it is not something I am usually very fond of. In a couple of years or perhaps already next year, someone might say: "Oh that is quite old, isn't it?" On the other hand, if...
Anchor print blouse and the house of an inventor
This post will only be a little bit about the anchor print blouse and a lot about the house of an inventor. You see, the father of our friend Arine sadly died recently and she and her brother and sister have to clear out their parent's home. Arine's dad is Lou Ottens,...
Black trouser suit in the Dutch tulip fields
Before the flowers were all gone, husband Ron took photos of my black trouser suit in the tulip fields. The colours are magnificent and the flowers are only there for a short time. The bulb growers cut the heads of the flowers which leaves you with a field full of...
A pale slate Demellier bag, such luxury
Buying this pale slate Demellier bag is pure madness for me. It is expensive and as I already have so many bags it is also embarrassing. Certainly not sustainable either, but I adore this bag. Ever since Susan of Une femme d'un certain âge showed bags from this brand,...
Oversized pastel green shirt
Talking about a garment which covers "all sins", how about this oversized pastel green shirt? And it wasn't for that reason why I fell for it. It is because it reminds me of the kind of thing an artist would wear to create a painting. It is fun and quirky (in my...
About me
My name is Greetje, I am Dutch, born in 1954. Married and living with husband Ron, dog Watson and cat Sophie. Pretty stepdaughter is married and lives on her own. This blog is my hobby. I hope to entertain you and make you smile or laugh with the content I post. It is for everyone, but probably most appealing to women over 40, like me (oh, all right...I am way over).
