Today I am showing you the second dress that I bought several weeks ago, a black and white maxi dress. And so we are almost in June already. I know everyone says it, but time just flies by. We have just finished the holiday and I only now have the feeling that I can enjoy my life again. I’ve had a pretty tough half year. With many hospital visits and three admissions, had a lot of stress. But I sincerely hope that it is all behind us and that we can now enjoy this time of the year. My favorite seasons. Lots of heat, lots of cycling, lots of eating outside, especially barbecue. I love it. Just like maxi dresses.
Black and white printed maxi dress.
And this is the second one I show you, which I ordered from Zara ha a while ago. You could see the first one on the blog last week. Missed? Shame on you and sign up right away in the sidebar so you don’t miss a single post! LOL. I’m just kidding…well, not really… But what do you think of this black and white maxi dress? Isn’t it a beauty? I wore it to a wedding party last week on a boat! And felt great in it. I even found a pair of lovely espadrilles! Also have new earcandy and a new black and gold handmade ring with a black stone that I bought in Hindelopen.
How was our holiday?
Just fantastic! We stayed in the Netherlands because it was to soon after the bronchoscopy to go to the UK with a chance of having a collapsed lung again. So we went 3 nights to Egmond aan Zee and cycled a lot in the dunes. Which is just fabulous, it’s so pretty there, but also very windy. We even spend a few hours at the beach! And we stayed for 3 nights in Heeg which is in Friesland. Friends of us stayed for one night too and we cycled again and hired a sloop for a day. We had wonderfull weather and enjoyed it very much. Back home we had lots of social things to attend. I think we spend one night at home!
But it s back to normal life again. Which is fine too, I love my life. But it was good to spend two weeks together without stress and to ,,forget,, a bit about my disease. Now I have to get back in track and hope that my lungs do a bit better then they have.
I hope you liked my black and white maxi dress outfit. Are you a fan of these kind of dresses? I never was, but this year I am totally loving them. Well, actually, I always thought these kind of dresses didn’t look good on me. But since I had such a rough time, it looks like I care a lot less of what other peple might think of me or my looks. I feel more like that I just want to do and wear what I like. Life is short enough right!
I would really appreciate it if you would follow me on Instagram.
