Blue Sportmax dress with blue and white leggings
Trying to come up with outfits from my wardrobe instead of straight off a shop mannequin is still challenging, but here is another one. The (jeans) blue Sportmax dress was first featured on the blog in this post in 2016 when it still fitted (I will come back to that...
Black waistcoat
Right, my first clothes purchase of the year, a waistcoat by Copenhagen Muse, bought at kpa.haarlem. The first of the only 10 new items of clothing this year challenge. I like it because it looks modern and a lot of my tops aren't that modern. Black was not my...
Sea green jumper
One day, at the end of November, I spotted this sea green jumper in one of my favourite shops (LAB Women's Clothing). I wanted more colour in my wardrobe, the jumper was in the sale, it fitted and to my surprise, it didn't itch. The latter was the reason why I had...
Orange pleather trousers and sequinned sweater
These orange pleather trousers and sequinned sweater are both by Essentiel Antwerp, one of my favourite brands because of their use of colour. Marjolein was with me when I bought the set, and she was also the photographer of these blog photos. We went to Amsterdam, to...
Black pleated skirt with a pink jumper
Nothing is new in this outfit, just a different combination of items. I combined the black pleated skirt with a pink jumper. The boots and the skirt you have seen together before and the pink jumper is one of my favourites. I met Janna in Amsterdam for lunch. She has...
Kenzo dress worn with white jeans
The days I wore this Kenzo dress actually as a dress are gone. Too short, even with a pencil skirt underneath it (see this post). My knees are too old and even my shapely legs are too old now to put on display. I weep but it is time to come to terms with it. I have...
Pebble coloured trousers with a neon pink top
Remember I showed you these trousers before with an orange and cream top and I didn't like the combination? This time I combined the pebble coloured trousers with a neon pink top and I love it. I think both are a bit 'arty'. I wore this combination when I met Janna at...
Black linen dress with Angela Caputi necklace
The photos for this blog post were taken with an iPhone which means the quality isn't that good. My phone had to do for taking photos as I was walking through Amsterdam all day with Sylvia of 40PlusStyle. My normal camera (plus flashlight) is terribly heavy. Silvia is...
Cobalt blue trousers with a green and white necklace by Angela Caputi
Wide leg trousers are so comfortable! I completely fell for these cobalt blue trousers by COS. This time I was so wise to test out the outfit before I used it for a blog photo shoot. By wearing it, you’ll notice what needs to be adjusted. In this case, the...
With blog reader Susan in Amsterdam
A different post this week than usual as I was pretty ill. No opportunity to do an outfit photo shoot. It probably started with a virus three weeks ago and I thought it had gone so ventured out again, only to pick up another virus. Or, the one that I already had, got...
Wide cream trousers and Shopping Saturday
All my friends are dear to me and my heart is capable of loving them all equally. When you make a new friend, it doesn't take any love away from your old friends, your heart just expands. It is such a magnificent phenomenon. You are about to see many photos of my day...
Monochrome cream outfit
Sometimes I devise an outfit to purposely avoid bright colours, such as the styling of this monochrome cream outfit. It appeals to me because of its sophisticated vibe. Couldn't resist to throw in the bright green earrings though. The green/purple/yellow scarf around...
