BLACK WRAP DRESS & BRIGHT PINK

Another wrap dress

I always have these times where I am totally in love with something. And then buy a lot of it! Right now it is wrap dresses. I have always loved them, but lately all I want are wrap dresses. They are so easy and stylish. But first, holidays! I booked our vacation in May. To the UK of course. West-Sussex. With my father and his wife! How much fun is that! We always go with just the two of us, as no one in our friends group used to like the UK. And now already two couples are loving the UK too! But my father is not a man who likes to go on vacation, his wife is, and she goes with friends and family. But when I was 13, 14 and 15, I went with my parents and sister to the UK as my father loved it there. He as even lived a while near Blackpool for his work. But I told you before here and here that I have a heriditary lung disease, and my father has too. So it is not easy for him to travel as he is also using oxygen. But he wanted to visit the UK very much the same way as we do. And he asked if he and his wife could come along with us. We love that, because we love the UK so much that we love to show the beautiful spots to others. So we rented a car because now we have to take two oxygen concentrators and that doesn’t fit in our car. But everything is booked and ready to go! Well, in five weeks then.

Black and pink

Funny thing when I thought of how I would wear this dress. Of course I will wear it a lot with a denim jacket, because for me nothing feels better then a black wrap dress with a denim jacket, but I wanted to add a color to it. And I choose these earrings with the dress that were gifted to me by Zaful. There is a little pink in the earrings and I knew I wanted to wear my pink blazer with the dress. And then I realised that I already had worn the blazer with a black dress here. That was the winter version! This is the spring version, with the same shoes who are very old but I still love them! And instead of the pink blazer I am wearing this cute cheerful bag with pompoms!

DENIM CULOTTES MIXED WITH RED & ORANGE

Denim culottes in a denim week!

Me and denim. Not a great match. I have told you before that I don’t care to much for jeans. I live in a part of the Netherlands where everyone wears jeans as a lack of fashion feel, love or creativity. So I never wore denim that much. Well, denim skirts I do like. And blouses. But for pants, no not so much. And here we are, in a week where I share two of my latest denim purchases! Yes two! Today I show you a culotte that I received from Rosegal.

Red and orange

I already loved red and pink together, just like blue and green, but red and orange is fantastic! It gives such a summer feel. It reminds me of summer fruit, ice cream and all the lovelyness summer has to offer. I also have a pink blazer with orange lining, it’s an older blazer but it is still one of my favorite jackets to wear in spring. I will show you soon. I already worn it a couple of times on the blog, but that is okay, isn’t it? And to wear sandals without socks or tights just feels fantastic. These culottes are really great, I have already worn these a lot. They are high waisted, what just feels so much better then the low ones and I think every shoe looks good under these trousers. I already worn it with my black patent sneakers and with over the knee boots. But the best is of course with sandals. I am wearing a big blue ring and a magnet bracelet, loving these I want more of them, and two fun brooches!

Shop the look!

PRINTED WRAP DRESS WITH FEATHERS & FANCY FRIDAY LINKUP

Wrap dress with leather jacket

But first I want to tell you about this wonderful week. Easter was fun. My parents-in-law came to diner and on Monday we went for a brunch with friends. We ate way too much of course. Yesterday I went to a beautician for the first time in years. That was very nice, I’m planning on doing this regularly. And tonight we are going to a concert by Colin Blunstone. I love to go to concerts! And tomorrow evening we have the annual dinner of the group with which I rehabilitated five years ago. Always great to see each other again and see how everyone is doing.

My new wrap dress

If you know me a little by now, you know that I love wrap dresses. I saw this one months ago, but because there was so much white in it I doubted to order it in Winter. But it was still on my mind. And now that the weather seems to be going the good way, I thought: let’s see if it is still available. And it was. And it was gifted to me also! It is a fantastic dress, I love to wear it with a cool jacket like this leather one. And of course my peeptoes! Still with socks, sheer ones! For a bit of color, but just a little bit because I like to leave this outfit black and white, I wear red tassel earrings.

Shop the look!

This month Anne-Marie tells us about her style!

Styled by……….Anne-Marie!

My style when I was overweight was usually a tunic or dress, with leggings underneath. I was very happy with the so-called A-line, because I could ‘hide’ my belly. I did not really notice that I no longer had any figure left. I loved clothes, and I found it frustrating to see so many beautiful things but not being able to wear it. In my head I always had a ‘style’ that I would wear if I were once slim …

My style

If you are overweight, and I have actually been for a big part of my life, it is difficult to develop your own style. At least, I found that difficult. Because often you do not buy what you like, but that what you can/can adjust. So I usually chose the best of the rest, in a limited range of stores like M&S, Miss Etam and C&A.

After a stomach reduction in March 2016, I lost 58 kilos. I sometimes say a whole Sylvie Meis.( a Dutch tv personality, very petite) It is impossible to describe what that meant for me. I still walk past a shop window and see a person who I do not recognize at first. If I do, my heart makes a leap of joy. Every time again!

But it was difficult to find a style of my own in the last two years. Because I had a different sizes every two months. Because I had no idea what looked good on me, or where I had to go for shopping. Because in my head I was still overweight.

But gradually, after two years of buying VERY MUCH clothing, I began to discover it. My new own style. And what is it nice to step into small boutiques and know that you can buy everything! In terms of size then, my money is unfortunately not infinite. And okay, I still do not have a size 36 (but an oh so nice 40-42), but in most stores you can do just fine with that!

Together with my husband (I am not small, he is tall – 2.10 meters!)

Two discoveries ensure that my closet is starting to take shape: I love skinny jeans and dresses. Especially dresses, I can not get enough of it! There is no finer and easier piece of clothing than a dress. Pull over your head, ready. Do nothing more! And then no more with a legging underneath!

In Thailand This dress is from Desigual and I also have turquoise one. I loved it on holiday in Thailand every day!

Or this dress, from Paprika (the smallest size!) With my favorite light blue jacket. Together with my handsome son (12) at the Concours d’Elegance in the gardens of Paleis het Loo.

I also occasionally wear heels, that was really a dream of mine. Well, those nice thick block heels: the height, not the stumbling! I notice that I am still a bit searching, I like this skirt for example, but I do not know how to wear it or to style it further. But I’m sure it will all work out just fine!

I’m sure it will! What an transformation Anne-Marie! Thank you very much for telling us your story!

LEOPARD PRINT MIDI SKIRT & FANCY FRIDAY LINKUP

Wearing a leopard midi skirt in winter(oeps it is spring!)

We all love leopard print don’t we? And I love midi skirts, so when I saw this one a few months ago, I knew I had to have it. I havn’t worn it that much because the fabric is very thin and it is still very cold over here. Everytime I wear a thin skirt, I have such a cold bum! But I wore it on the day that Nina visited me. I can’t wait to wear the skirt more when it is getting a bit warmer.

Why is a leopard print so appealing?

When I was, let’s say, 16 or 17, I already loved a leopard print. But it was seen as vulgar. You belonged to a certain kind of people when you wore a leopard print. I am talking early 80s now! I am curious if that was the same in your country. Let me know. These days we see the leopard print every season and it has won his own place in the fashion scene. In clothing, bags, shoes, you name it! Check my Pinterest board about leopard prints! And although I styled it with a black cable knit sweater, leopard print is very good to wear with all colors as I showed here.

Shop the look!

These are all purchases that I did last year, so they are all sold out. Instead I link you to a Fab skirt and great black sweaters!

Leopard print skirt mine sold out, here is one from the latest collection

Black cable knit sweater mine is sold out, here are other good ones

Lacquer boots, you have seen these several times on the blog.
