Haarlem
A green suit and Anthony Fokker
Another post with many photos by Kitty as it is hard for me to kill my darlings. She documented my green suit which I bought because 1) I love suits, 2) I love bright colours and 3) it looks good with trainers. Kitty suggested to go to Santpoorterplein in Haarlem...
Men’s suiting, styled for women
This week another take on a men's suit, worn by a woman. I am not really into this trend but that Kenzo men's blazer outfit was one that I really liked. Then my nephew returned an old suit which my husband Ron had given him years ago and I decided to try my hand at...
Oversized men’s blazer in the rain
Whenever you are looking for a (holiday) home and you see one in a nice green area, be aware that the area is green for a reason. That reason being: it rains a lot. Like in the Netherlands which has many green trees. Some summers, like the one just past and the one...
Big colourful earrings
One of my readers commented last week that she was quite surprised when my site loaded with the monochrome cream outfit. She was expecting a colour bomb as usual. Today is "as usual" again haha. This neon yellow top proves to be ever so useful in creating outfits. The...
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...
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...
White cherry print dress by Max Mara
When I got out of the dressing room at Max Mara in Paris, wearing this white cherry print dress, my friend Susan (of Une femme d'une certain âge) went "Ohhhh, lovely"...which immediately sold the dress to me. The previous day my husband had already picked this dress...
Green and white striped jumper and Shopping Saturday
Although my style is really all over the place and not something specific like bohemian, I think you could say that jeans with a smart top is my signature style. In this post you'll see the jeans with a green and white striped jumper. Perhaps the white is off-white, I...
A cream jumper, a city beach and a city market
Loes and I set off to a city beach in Haarlem, called Oerkap on a sunny day to document this cream jumper. It was just the right temperature for it. Apparently I am a woman of contradictions as I like this cream jumper just as much as I liked last week's colourful...
Navy blue blazer with cream trousers
It was a stroke of luck that the Paris post was published last week as this outfit and the one of two weeks ago were created with the same pair of cream trousers and boots. Although this time with a blouse and a blazer, the accompanying colour choice is again navy...
Cognac coloured trousers with a yellow Kenzo jumper
Saving money and the environment today by combining my cognac coloured trousers with a yellow Kenzo jumper. Both were already in my wardrobe, like the rest of the outfit. It is hard for me to create outfits but with the amount of clothes I have got, it is ludicrous...
Wide black trousers with a soft yellow jumper
It is very hard to photograph these wide black trousers because of the volume. In my opinion the soft yellow jumper by Joseph goes well with these trousers, but I bet a lot of people would prefer the combination of a tight top paired with voluminous trousers. I will...
