Houndstooth blazer with jeans
When Marjolein asked me to pose like this I thought she was mad. Never would I be able to do that and certainly not with slippery leather soles and a bit of a heel. I tried it anyway which is quite dangerous at my age. Especially because I leaned back and the door...
Pink and burgundy combination
In one of my previous posts, I wrote that I would try to come up with a new outfit, using the burgundy blouse, which you saw first with the silver pleated skirt. And here I am keeping my promise with this new pink and burgundy combination. The inspiration was given to...
Wide black trousers with the soft yellow jumper
You have seen part of this outfit combination when it was featured on the blog for the first time. For today's blog post I combined the wide black trousers with the soft yellow jumper differently. I changed the black boots for white trainers, used a different necklace...
Black trouser suit with wide legs
It took me years but I finally had this black trouser suit with wide legs altered. It used to be great with high heeled boots (as you can see in this post) but I hardly wear high heels anymore. It is just not practical in my current life. Seeing as suits with trainers...
Long denim skirt with a fluffy orange jumper
The previous outfit which I created with this long denim skirt, was much cooler, more edgy with the Dries van Noten sweater. Only I don't have that many trendy tops, so I choose colourful instead. The long denim skirt with a fluffy orange jumper is not too bad, but it...
Black and blue Vivienne Westwood blouse
Searching for an outfit worthy to be photographed, I looked through my album "outfits still to do" as I photograph outfits I have come up with and which still have to go on the blog. Handy. So I trot out the jeans again, my favourite item of clothing. I combined this...
Black summer trousers with a green top and yellow necklace
One for the matchy matchy enthusiasts amongst us. Yellow shoes (suede) to bookend the yellow necklace by Lara Design. Marcella of Lara Design showed me her new creation and I borrowed it to feature in this blog post. She used my old face on her website to promote the...
Wide linen trousers with a lime yellow top
With the wind blowing from behind, my wide linen trousers look like billowing sails on a ship. I thought it was funny. The BVA girlfriends were visiting me and the day went almost like always. Only after lunch, Marianna went home and Claudia stayed behind to talk to...
White wide leg trousers with a colourful shirt
What easy styling this was, the combination of my white wide leg trousers with a colourful shirt. A no-brainer. I might take some credit for adding apple green shoes, an orange belt and pink earrings + bracelet. Which is why I kept the bag "quiet". Adding another...
Chunky yellow shoes with jeans
Small changes to an outfit also create a new outfit, right? You have seen these jeans with the shirt before in September last year. This time I have changed the earrings and the bag, added bracelets and put on chunky yellow shoes. When husband Ron saw the shoes, he...
Yellow blazer with wide leg jeans
Above: Isn't this a fantastic photo? My yellow blazer and the yellow stripes in the police uniforms differ but I think we are still a match. Further down the post I'll tell you how this photo came about. Loes was photographing my outfit in Haarlem, in a park called...
A pink and black blouse with wide leg jeans
What a struggle this is...creating new outfits with stuff from my own wardrobe. Honestly, not my hobby. Then again, this pink and black blouse is too good to wear with only one pair of trousers, so I tried. To my mind, I did not succeed. This blouse with my wide leg...
