My Big Bird jacket or Pino jacket
Before I start telling you about this outfit, let me explain why it is called "Big Bird jacket or Pino jacket". Pino is the Dutch equivalent of Big Bird from Sesame Street, only he is blue. And feathery. Immediately after I bought this jacket in Spain, I named it my...
Arty print trousers styled twice
Before summer comes to an end, I chartered Loes to photograph these arty print trousers which I scored while shopping with my friend Marjolein. It was when I wore the blue patent leather shoes for the first time. Even though it isn't quite the same blue as in the...
Neon yellow top with cognac coloured trousers
When I wear this outfit and walk into a room, people definitely notice me haha. I am never afraid to stand out or draw attention. Not because I am arrogant or conceited, just confident. Probably because there are very few people who are unpleasant towards me. No idea...
Bright green shirt
What a fun morning this was. Kitty and I did a photo shoot at a restaurant (Villa Westend) with a beach at a lake, just a few miles from the centre of Haarlem. You wouldn't know that you are near a city. Styling a bright green shirt with 3 different pairs of trousers...
How to dress for today’s corporate environment (2022)

Grey trousers with a cream top in The Hague
Grey trousers with a cream top. What an unbelievably subdued outfit for me. No bright colours, instead only neutral light shades which work well together, I think. Marjolein took the photos as we cruised through the centre of The Hague. From here on, you will get a...
Neon pink top
My great new camera is performing so well. Even friends, who have no photographic experience take pretty good images with it. Not all photos are fantastic, after all it is a skill, but most of them are good enough to publish. Such a big difference to my previous...
A summer maxi dress, gifted by a friend
When you buy a garment, you really never know whether it is going to be a favourite or not. Only after a while you notice that you grab a particular item time and again. Like this maxi dress. My friend Claudia gave me the dress when we were on holiday in Spain. She...
A polka dot dress with trousers
Apologies for the bad quality of the photos in this post. I wasn't planning on using them, but decided to do so anyway. The quality is also bad because of the recent iPhone update. The 'improvement' Apple made, was to switch photos from JPG format to HEIC format. And...
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 to a lovely man. 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).
