A summer maxi dress, gifted by a friend
When you buy a garment, you really never know whether it is going to be a favourite or not. Only after a while you notice that you grab a particular item time and again. Like this maxi dress. My friend Claudia gave me the dress when we were on holiday in Spain. She...
An elegant dress in blue and yellow
What do you think? Is this blue and yellow dress a bit too elegant for me? Or perhaps for my lifestyle? It is by Herzen's Angelegenheit and I bought it heavily reduced at Lab Women's Clothing. Initially I wanted to wear it with my black Vic Matié sneakers (with the...
Kermit green jacket with flared jeans
Temperatures are fluctuating which led me to create this Kermit green jacket with flared jeans outfit. It is a tried and tested concept as I have combined the jacket and jeans before with white and black (see this post). This new styling with the yellow/lime top, the...
Green and white striped jumper and Shopping Saturday
Although my style is really all over the place and not something specific like bohemian, I think you could say that jeans with a smart top is my signature style. In this post you'll see the jeans with a green and white striped jumper. Perhaps the white is off-white, I...
A psychedelic shirt in Utrecht
Right...I bet you went "Whoa!" when you opened this post and saw the rather psychedelic shirt I am wearing LOL. I bought it in Paris in that little shop Addicted which sells stuff made by young designers. It means unique and friendly prices. As a young designer cannot...
A cream jumper, a city beach and a city market
Loes and I set off to a city beach in Haarlem, called Oerkap on a sunny day to document this cream jumper. It was just the right temperature for it. Apparently I am a woman of contradictions as I like this cream jumper just as much as I liked last week's colourful...
Colour blocking in a tulip field
Doesn't this piece of colour blocking burst from the page? I love bright colours, so Kitty and I decided to go to the tulip fields before all the flowers were cut. Below: Tulips are such lovely flowers and our national pride. Below: One more because I love them so...
Red, white, blue and orange make King’s Day (2022)
The plan was to go to Amsterdam and do a photo shoot on King's Day while walking past all the shenanigans that were going on there. Unfortunately it was cold and cloudy and King's Day is just no fun when the sun doesn't shine. So we decided to stay in Haarlem. Of...
White trousers and shirt with a green jacket
Due to our Paris trip and my week in Covid isolation I was short of photos for the blog. And my regular photographers Loes and Kitty were both unavailable on short term. So, Ron to the rescue. A blog article on You Look Fab inspired me to combine the white trousers...
About me
My name is Greetje, I am Dutch, born in 1954. Married and living with husband Ron, dog Watson and cat Sophie. Pretty stepdaughter is married to a lovely man. This blog is my hobby. I hope to entertain you and make you smile or laugh with the content I post. It is for everyone, but probably most appealing to women over 40, like me (oh, all right...I am way over).
