Haarlem
Lemon yellow trousers and multi-coloured shirt
Believe it or not, there was a time you couldn't take one decent photo of me. I always looked stupid in every photo. My, my... this blogging has taught me a thing or two. Of course when you have a great photographer (Kitty this time), it makes a big difference. I...

An easy blue and white striped dress in lovely Haarlem
As you read last week, I scored 2 dresses at the second-hand shop Kat & Ko. This blue and white striped dress looks brand new. No marks, no fluff, the white is pure white and I love the neckline. I didn't think it would suit me but decided to try it anyway. One...

How to wear a sleeveless dress over 40 (or 50 or 60, whatever)
This pale yellow dress was meant to be used only to elongate another dress which I thought was a bit too short for me. As this dress has no sleeves I never intended to wear it on its own. Why? Do I think that you are not allowed to wear sleeveless tops or dresses when...

Entering modern times with another midi skirt. Since I have big jumpers and know how to use them on skirts, I am less afraid of buying long skirts. This long green skirt was in the sale for € 60 which I thought was a very reasonable price. I bought it after having had...

Green fantasy tights
Inspired by my own posts on floral tights, I dug out my green fantasy tights, which I first wore with a white dress from the Max Mara outlet. Hadn't worn that outfit for a year due to Knee (+ high heels). As I am on the mend, I could wear it for Christmas at my mum's...

Wide black midi skirt, styled 4 times
The day Kitty and I did this shoot was cold, which meant we needed an indoor place. The item I picked was this wide black midi skirt. Not really being able to style it properly for two years, I now found 9 ways to wear it. Just by shopping my own wardrobe and by...

Long striped tunic
In my post Shopping with Sabine in Amsterdam, Cornelis Schuytstraat, I gave you a little preview of this long striped tunic. Or is it a shirt? I don't know. That day I was wearing my boyfriend jeans and these white sneakers. Somehow I cannot style it differently. To...
