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...
Combining winter and summer clothes
Another outfit created with my own wardrobe items. One day I saw that this yellow and black pleated skirt had olive as a third colour. A perfect match with my olive coloured jumper. Combining winter and summer clothes is something I normally would never do. It means a...
Wide black skirt with pale yellow jumper
Windy photo shoot with a combination of items from my wardrobe. The wide black skirt and pale yellow jumper were the result of trying which skirt would create a flattering silhouette with the short jumper. As I had worn the jumper with black trousers, I took the easy...
Wide black trousers and a big yellow jumper
Before I begin, I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas. You might be expecting a Christmassy post but no, you will get that after Christmas, haha. Loes was my photographer and I created an outfit with my wide black trousers and a big yellow jumper from my own...
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...
