Wide leg jeans and an oversized orange blazer
Again these wide leg jeans, this time with an oversized orange blazer. Big on big. Next week you'll see these jeans again, even though I might lose readers when my content gets so boring. On the other hand, you'll get to see a lot of possibilities which might inspire...
Pebble coloured trousers with a blue blazer and a blue blouse
Back to restyling again. I hate that as I am not good at shopping from my wardrobe, but I cannot keep buying new things. I combined the pebble coloured trousers with a blue blazer and a blue blouse. You get two for one in this post. I like both combinations; with the...
Samsoe wide leg jeans and a white shirt
Introducing two new items, my Samsoe wide leg jeans with a white shirt. The jeans come with a story, which I will tell you later on. The white shirt is from a shop in Haarlem which I love (LAB Women's Clothing). The owner is a good stylist and she never "sells" me...
Flared jeans with a yellow top
At the moment it is boiling hot in the Netherlands but on the day Helena took these photos for the blog, it was exactly the right temperature, not too hot, not too cold, bright sunshine. I didn't have any summer outfits left as I am already focused on autumn and...
Blue monochrome outfit with an orange scarf
When you've found a trick, you can keep reworking it multiple ways, right? My white monochrome outfit with a colourful scarf was quite successful on the blog, although I still don't know why. Recreating this styling combination, here is my blue monochrome outfit with...
Wide cobalt blue trousers and the BVA girls
It was my turn to host my group of friends, the BVA girls. I use the term girls loosely as the youngest (Claudia) is 54. In our heads we are still the girls (women) we were 25 years ago when we were colleagues. Below: Wearing my wide cobalt blue trousers (also see the...
Wide linen trousers
Another pair of trousers in the new (to me) shape are these wide linen trousers. Unlike the trousers you saw last week, I knew what top would go well with them. The top is from 2012 and bought in Rome. I do hold on to things which are good. Marita was my photographer....
A yellow summer dress
When I saw Karlijn of kpa.haarlem wearing this yellow summer dress on Instagram, I was very quick to buy it. This is an ideal dress for me. Maxi, with which I don't mind wearing flat shoes so much. Long sleeves to hide wrinkly arms. Darts at the top to allow my ample...
A lime coloured patterned jacket
Finally, we had a warm and sunny day at the beginning of May. My cold had gone down, my throat wasn't sore anymore and I went off to meet Marita. I asked her whether she would take photos for my blog and luckily she didn't mind. I wore an outfit with old leather...
Green suit with green and yellow blouse
The funny thing with me and suits is that I never know how to style the items separately and that should be so easy. Like with this green suit; what would be easier than pairing the green blazer with jeans or white trousers? Or with pink or yellow trousers? And the...
Purple blue cropped trousers with 2 blazers
Let's talk spring. It was on my mind when I created outfits around my purple blue cropped trousers. Bright colours, bright mood, foul weather. It was cold and rainy so Loes and I headed to restaurant De Dakkas in Haarlem, which is built like a greenhouse on top of a...
Olive coloured trousers with a bright pink jumper
My friend Erna took the photos of these olive coloured trousers with a bright pink jumper. You have seen the trousers before in December paired with a cream jumper and I am still 'shopping my own wardrobe'. Nothing is new this time. Below: We started at restaurant De...
