Denim, dresses and sneakers: the trio for effortless fashion

denim, dresses and snekers

I just love to wear a dress with sneakers and a denim jacket for those early spring days. It might not be that cool and trendy anymore, but who gives a s..t right! The first holiday to England has been booked again! To our trusted b&b in Rye. We have been going there for 11 years. And to England for 23 years! Haha, dare to call us creatures of habit! I have to say that I will go to England with a bit of a heavy heart this time.

Because suppose I get on the transplant list soon, then I am not allowed to go abroad anymore. If everything goes wrong, this could be the last time I go to England, and I find that almost unbearable. If I do get a transplant and everything goes well, then I am not allowed to go abroad for a year after the transplant.

Denim, dresses and sneakers: a perfect combo

So it will take a long time before we can go there again. In the worst case, they do not find me suitable for a transplantation and we can go. But I do not want to think about that scenario at all. In any case, we are facing a difficult time in our lives. But we are moving on to something lighter, namely what am I wearing today!

A dress with a denim jacket and sneakers. So easy and I think it always looks great. I told you before that I am looking for coloured sneakers, and I have seen so many that I love. Gosh, all those lovely colours are so appealing, says she who doesn’t wear that much colour……

All older items, but never worn together

So this dress is a older one, bought in a winter but it is so thin that it is way to cold for that season. I love the colour combination so much that I don’t mind the paisley print at all. Because I am not a fan of paisley. I am not a fan of prints. Well, I do love stripes. Anyway, everything is old actually, because I still haven’t bought anything new for spring.

Look at the lovely brooche on the denim jacket, bought at a car boot sale last year in Kent. I am wearing a ring and earrings in a sort of blue, green, petrol colour that comes back in the dress. And a lot of golden necklaces, I also still like to wear necklaces like this. I haven’t got a camisole in the colour that fitted with the dress, so went for black. In the boutique where I used to work, we always had with every collection matching camisoles and basic shirts. And the camisoles had a bit of lace, very pretty. But I hardly can find great colours and the ones I find with lace are oldfashioned. Well, perhaps I am too……..

    Oh Nancy, I do get how you feel. It sounds very daunting indeed, and I do understand your sadness.
    Back in January, we did book our next UK holiday for June, but we might very well have to cancel as we are not sure Jos will be well enough to make such a long journey by then …
    Your outfit is gorgeous, and just the kind of thing (dress + denim jacket) that I love wearing in Spring and Summer! xxx

    Nancy, I am sending you the most positive vibes for a match…after your vacation! Then, think of how wonderful it will be (even after waiting a year) to go to Rye and be able to go without your concentrator! I know only good things will come to you.

    I love a denim jacket with just about everything, including dresses! Paisley is one of my favorite prints so I love this dress! You have the most amazing jewelry! I still feel funny wearing sneakers with dresses, though. I’m working on it! Thanks for the link up!
