The first day I got these baggy jeans which you saw before (link to original post with the orange boots), I styled them multiple times, tucked into these pink boots by EIJK. And I really liked the look. It wasn’t my idea, I copied it from Daphne, the owner of LAB Women’s Clothing. Then, when I started to wear them like this, I found out how often the jeans slipped out of the boots when I sat down and got up again. I was so peeved.
But, when I am a bit careful, I can wear the outfit like this. OK, I do have to fuss a couple of times, tucking the legs back in and perhaps people will trip over my stretched-out legs as I don’t want to bend them too much, but those are minor things. I especially love the red and white striped jacket with the baggy jeans.
Ron took me to the dunes for the photo shoot. I was a bit afraid of sinking into mud or sand with my boots. Or standing in a windy corner, but none of these things happened.

Below: And a gnome.
Below: Watson was with us, sniffing, running, digging.
Below: Ron climbed up a slippery slope to take a photo from above. All in his attempts to please me, bless him.
Below: A different angle is fun. Ron has the eye of a photographer. I think this shot is magazine worthy.
Below: Peek-a-boo.
Below: Looking frolicsome. The red and white striped jacket is an old one from kpa.haarlem. (First appearance on the blog in this post in 2020.)
The Dries van Noten bag is getting increasingly more attention from me now that I am wearing jeans so much. It is always perfect.

Below: After taking the photos we walked with Watson to a pond. And this is how I looked in reality. With sensible boots and a simple raincoat.

Below: And Watson was happy as he ‘caught’ a stick. Four feet off the ground.
What happened in my life this week
Saturday meant going to the cobbler just before visiting Marianne. She had delicious pastries with the coffee. Marianna and Marijke joined too. The other two BVA girls were absent for different reasons. Marianna preferred not to have her picture taken.
Below: Marianne, stylish as always with new beautiful boots.
Below: Marijke, jeans with a blazer and pattern mixing.
Below: With my wide Denham jeans (so comfortable), a multi-coloured jumper and orange patent leather booties. I decided not to use this outfit for an entire blog post. There are so many blazers, shirts and jumpers that I can wear with these jeans, it would mean you’d see them so much that you’d get sick of them.
Sunday was a quiet day and I wore this outfit (below). Link to original post.
Monday, mechanic number two came to fix the signal of the fibre optic cable and on Thursday mechanic number three installed everything. We now have fibre optic cable, which means very fast internet. Yay.
I had a battle, reprogramming the Resideo thermostat. The helpdesk of Resideo was a shambles, I rang twice and twice the woman hung up on me after not knowing a thing and reading out the manual, which I have myself. Anyway, I got it working again. I hope geofencing is working again as well as it saves energy when an automatic system let the house temperature drop to night values when we are both away.
Tuesday was an off-day. The dentist removed my molar implant. Quite a surgical affair and it left me on the couch all day, something I didn’t expect. I had planned to do my fitness in the afternoon. Instead I had to hold a coldpack against my face for 5 (FIVE) hours. I will spare you the details. Didn’t sleep too well that night, but on Wednesday everything was hunky dory again. Of course I have to be careful for at least a week and take good care of my mouth, but that’s easy. I am glad it is removed, the inflammations were eating at my jawbone.
Wednesday, I felt well enough to go to the hairdresser.
While I was away, Ron welcomed the electrician to fix the lamp over our table. I like it when a plan comes together (quoting the A-team).
Late afternoon Ron came back with Watson being trimmed. He is now a skinny, smooth-haired dog. We don’t really like it, but when his coat starts shedding, it is murder to keep the house clean. Strangely enough we never had this with our previous dog Charlie, who was the same breed. She hardly shed a hair.
Thursday, after the mechanic had gone, I did my fitness exercises (finally). In the afternoon Loes came for a cup of tea.
Below: I wore this as I was home most of the day. These trousers and the sweater feel like wearing PJ’s. So comfortable. So I wore flat boots with it. (Link to original post.)
I don’t own a nice ‘lounge set’, you know, a legging/jogging trousers with a big sweatshirt, stuff you can put on at home and still look nice. Something like Juicy Couture but without the glitter letters (brrrr…) and with a longer hoodie. So I think I will downgrade this above outfit to loungewear as I hardly wear it out.
The weather is cold and wet, sometimes with hailstones, sometimes with a little bit of snow. Not weather that tempts you to go outside. I am cocooning.
Friday we looked after granddaughter Zoë.
