Staying warm in a fuzzy coat

>> CHECK OUT THE MOST RECENT VIDEO <<

Yay, it's April. Wow.. that first quarter of 2017 really flew by, didn't it?! Only 9 more months until NYE. :-P

We have a saying in the Netherlands about the Dutch weather that goes "April doet wat het wil." which basically comes down to "April does what it wants.". So.. outdoor outfits need to be able handle any temperature.. from a chilly 5 to an agreeable 25 degrees.

In my case, this means: 1) a warm coat/jacket 2) a dress that's not too thin and 3) tights and boots!!


This white coat is really warm, so you won't hear me complain. The only thing I have to worry about is to eat a sandwich with care.. because I'm the type of person to get ketchup stains quite easily!


I love jeans.. but sometimes you just want to wear a dress, so why not combine the two? This dress is short, but I solved that with some cool patterned tights. :-)


Most of these pics were taken under a bridge in Rotterdam full of graffiti.. which is also the reason why there is not much light. But actually, there was was a lot of sun as the above picture clearly shows. Sunglasses were definitely required!


I do love my fuzzy coat, but actually.. I hope I don't have to wear it too often this April! :-P


 I hope the Monday was not too bad!


Can you believe it? I always take many clips when I'm doing an outfit shoot, but I only two usable clips. So, the resulting video is rather short. Oh well,.. more luck next time!

A collection of mehs

>> CHECK OUT THE MOST RECENT VIDEO <<

So, we the weekend just flew by and on top of that.. we just lost an hour because the clock has been set forward again! I need my sleep without the guilt of 'losing' an hour! :-P

Anyway, I did have an enjoyable weekend hanging with friends and family.. even with some dress-up fun, but I haven't yet processed the photos and video clips.

So why not spend a post on some clothing items where my own assessment, after looking at the pics, was a resounding meh!!


The first item was a coat that looked cool and sexy on the website, but the material was so wrinkly is just didn't look cool and sleek. Also, the buttons on the front-side looked and felt very flimsy.. I was afraid that they could snap off any second!


The second item was a grey sweater dress.. and while I loved the fit and how it accentuated my curves, the dress was so itchy. I don't exactly know what it was made of, but for a dress costing almost a € 100 I expect to a sweater dress to feel comfy!


The third item was a faux-leather jacket which I ordered because of the colour! As you can see, it was way too tight.. even though I ordered it in size EU40 (which is UK12 of US10).. which is already a size up from my normal EU38. So yeah, a swift return was this jacket's fate!


And thr fourth and last item in this post was a dress which fit quite nicely, but I just wasn't enthusiastic about the colour. I don't know if mustard is my colour.

What are your opinions? And do you do this yourselves.. taking photos of stuff you order on-line?


Have a great Sunday!


No new videos, so I'll just link the the last two, because some of you might not have seen them yet. :-)
