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...
Flared black midi skirt styled in a modern way
Styling a rather classic skirt, like this flared black midi skirt, isn't easy for me. I tend to make it look frumpy, old-fashioned. I will show you a couple of previous styling to prove my point. Below: I will start with the most unflattering styling of all. This is...
Purple blue trousers with two different tops
The purple blue trousers, the brightly coloured jumper and the golden boots create what I call, a smashing outfit. Perhaps it is too colourful for you, but this is sooo me. I found the trousers as I was shopping in Amsterdam with my friends Sabine and Anke (the...
Long black and white jacket by Mart Visser
During the Mart Visser sample sale, I not only scored a blazer but also a long black and white jacket. I never know when to call it a jacket and when a blazer. Because of its length I would call this a jacket. Do you agree? In the photo above I have cuffed the sleeves...

Long black and white coat by Katrien
And here it is, the bespoke black and white coat that my friend Katrien made me. We chose the material together, which is very old dead stock wool, still in pristine condition. It is heavy and no wind will pass through it. The model is one Katrien has used 5 times...
White combat boots with a black blazer
Not only these white combat boots are new, so are the earrings. The bag is pretty recent, the blazer and the trousers are ancient. Oh, I forgot, the merino wool top is also new and by my favourite sustainable brand Bellamy Gallery. My friend Marjolein and I had a...
Paisley maxi dress by Boden
When I saw this paisley maxi dress by Boden on the blog of Midlifechic, I fell in love and ordered it. There was a slight 'twang' of insecurity when I tried it on as in "Gosh, that is a lot of dress; isn't it overwhelming?" I ignored that thought and bought it. Then...
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 and lives on her own. 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).
