Amsterdam
Long green linen coat, worn as a jacket
Bicycles, a bridge, canals, old houses...that's Amsterdam for you. The outfit of the week is a long green linen coat, which I am wearing as a jacket. Apparently I am going through a phase of wearing coats and dresses as a jacket. (It might not look green to you but...
Wearing a dress as a jacket
Wearing a dress as a jacket is ever so easy with a button-down dress. Unbutton it, wear a block of colour underneath and you're done. This Sportmax dress has been in my wardrobe for many years, it appeared in this post in Paris and in this post, styling a sleeveless...
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...
Red and cream shirt on cream trousers
Kitty, my usual photographer, was really busy so I pleaded pretty please to husband Ron to photograph my new red and cream shirt. He was kind enough to take these photos in Amsterdam, in Wertheim Park. Below: The entrance of Wertheim Park. Aren't these lamp holders...
Dark green jumper with a light green brooch
As Ron and I were in Amsterdam for the houndstooth blazer on jeans shoot, we also shot this dark green jumper outfit. It is a funny kind of green, almost teal but then again it is not. Turning a corner, we found ourselves in front of restaurant Greetje. My name is...
Green houndstooth blazer with boyfriend jeans
Remember this houndstooth blazer? The first time you saw it on my blog was with a pair of cream trousers. You weren't impressed. At least that was my conclusion from comments on the blog and on Instagram. Perhaps you thought it was too formal? You suggested jeans. Of...
Khaki jumper for winter
Again, the boyfriend jeans. This time with a khaki jumper. You have seen these jeans last week with my sequinned jumper and a couple of weeks ago with my cream jumper. Boring. Sorry, I am a jeans girl and boyfriend jeans are very comfortable in these Covid times....
Sequinned jumper in purple and black
The sequinned jumper I am wearing today is the total opposite of last week's sweater. That is, financially. Both garments that draw attention but contrary to the Dries van Noten sweater of last week, the sequinned jumper cost me only €25. Found it at the brilliant...
Cream jumper with buttons on the sleeves
Although bright colours like red and yellow suit me best, I have a weak spot for cream. And this cream jumper has buttons on the sleeves! Fun. The photos were made on the 3rd of September when it was a particularly cold and rainy day. My friend Helena and I had agreed...
Red and white striped jacket and Shopping Saturday
Another Shopping Saturday with my friends Anke and Sabine: such a delightful day. We all look forward to it. As Anke was 38 weeks pregnant, we stayed in Amsterdam so she wouldn't have to travel far. I decided to wear this red and white striped jacket by FRNCH which I...
A pair of bright pink trousers, worn three ways
Being on holiday in my own country means I have more time to do photoshoots with one of "my" photographers. This first (holi)day I went to Amsterdam with Loes and wore bright pink trousers. They are second-hand from Kat & Ko and as you know, I love bright colours....
Black sandals with block heel
Believe it or not, I have a terrible taste in shoes. Even my mother told me as a teenager how old-fashioned my shoe choices were. Which is why I challenge myself and pay attention to shoe fashion. These black sandals with block heel would not be the kind I'd normally...
