Wide khaki trousersJoline Jolink is a Dutch designer. Every new garment she designs, like these wide khaki trousers, has to be versatile. You should be able to combine it with a lot of her other pieces, old and new. That way she creates a sustainable wardrobe for her customers, one you can use for a longer time than just one (fashion) season. In case you missed the first link, her website is www.jolinejolink.com. Dutch readers should really take a peek. 

When a new piece of clothing joins the rest of your wardrobe, it is a good idea to see with what you can combine it. I am quite the opposite. There has been a time when I only wore an outfit the way I bought it. Getting better though. And after I saw the various combinations on the site of Joline Jolink, I had a go at it myself. And came up with so many outfits!! You will see these trousers (and the top) many times.

I was drawn to these khaki trousers because I thougth they were quirky (I like quirky) and  they look especially cute with sneakers. As sneakers and flat shoes will probably be a must for a while, I told myself it was a good investment. Besides, a bit of online shopping consoled me. The top (blue stripe, not black) is from the same designer.

Ron took me to a lovely little village called Spaarndam which has a little harbour with easy access for a car.

Below: I arrived wearing my python coat which isn’t the best choice but it was a little chilly and I couldn’t think of another coat. These wide trousers clearly need another model coat. Husband Ron says I look like a little gnome in this picture haha. Famous Dutch directness.

 a cat. Always nice. Cannot see a cat without wanting to stroke it. Aren’t we nicely colour-coordinated?

Below: Oh and this is the back of the trousers. Although I have no hips and no bum, I still think these trousers suit me. At least I do not cringe when I see this photo, which is a good sign as I am my own worst critic. But feel free to disagree with me.

Below: I sat down in front of the local hair dresser, looking out on the marina, giving the knee a little rest. No customers on a Sunday. See the reflection of the boats in the window?

Below: Oh dear 
 wind
 stupid hair
 trying to create the illusion of a full head of hair haha. All the photos you see, are scrutinized to see if the hair looks good. Pfff, what a waist of time, right? Who cares? Who sees it? I am the only one who is always fussing over it.

Below: I asked him whether he would mind having his picture taken with me and being featured on the blog.

Below: Nope, he didn’t mind. What sort of blog do I have? I gave him my card and he thought it was cool. Of course he is not in my target group.

Below: Spaarndam is a lovely old village with lots of historic buildings and pretty old bridges like this.

Not too much variation in outfit pictures, but lots to see otherwise. Hope this post was more entertaining than last week’s.
