Tiered ruffle skirt with a bright pink jumper
You might think it makes me look like a layer cake but I find this tiered ruffle skirt fantastic. It is by Hope Fashion UK and it is still available at £95 but the stock is low. Here is the link to the skirt. Although I take a size 14 in waist, I ordered the slim...
Wearing a bright pink floral blouse to an antique market
After hitting the Max Mara outlet, Daniela and I visited the Marella shop in Turin. We both like this brand and last time I was there I came away with really good items. This time I couldn't resist this bright pink floral blouse with matching pumps (both in the sale)...
The saffron shift dress I hate
It isn't often that I dedicate a whole post to a piece of clothing that I hate. And I hate this saffron shift dress for a lot of reasons. I will sum them up: Wearing a shoulder bag with it is not possible because it pulls the dress (evidence above). When you sit down...
Green jacket by Cabi
You might think "Hmmm.. didn't I see this green jacket before?" Yes, you did if you are a loyal reader of my blog. Only not on my body but on Lisa, The Sequinist. When I visited her in London she gave me the two floral dresses you saw these past two weeks AND this...
Lemon yellow trousers with a green kimono top
Shopping my own wardrobe again. Let's see... the lemon yellow trousers you will remember from three weeks ago with the multicoloured shirt and from the time with my white summer jumper. Last year I combined the shoes from Marks & Spencers with a snow leopard...
Another floral summer dress
In the post about my visit to Lisa in London, I told you she gave me two dresses. The long blue one you saw last week and here is the other floral summer dress, both by Cabi. I like the bold colours and the contrasting pattern on neck and sleeves. To me this is a...
Long blue dress and a cathedral
Nice Dutch picture with this bicycle. The blue dress is a gift from Lisa (The Sequinist) and in turn it was gifted to her by the brand: Cabi. Only Lisa doesn't like floral dresses. "Don't bother sending them back", they said at Cabi, "Give them to somebody who does...
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...
Green shirt with pink sequins
Again, a short post. The day was really all about catching up with my friend Helena and I sort of blackmailed her into taking blog photos. Only this was not the intention of the day so we didn't spend too much time on it. Although Helena might see this differently...
A furry jacket
Attention: I am now using a different method for the comment box. You can read more about it at the end of this post. This outfit is a bit of an odd thing. You see, I do not buy anything with fur as I don't need real fur to look good. And yet I bought this short...
