Below: see the black mat under my feet? Ron took that from the car as my heels were sinking in the grass all the time. Such a thing happened before and caused a row. This time we didn’t argue about it. We are improving. The black leather bag with the red trimming and handles is a present from Sylvia of 40+Style. Again a present. Don’t know why I get so many but I do love it. The red handles pick up the red in the brooch. Subtle but noticable.
Below: a closer look at the brooch which you have seen a couple of times before, here and here. You can also see the structure of the jacket: sightly corded.
Below: then my phone rang… oh dear… I am in the middle of a photo shoot… well, I am going to answer it anyway. Now where is the darned thing???
Below: Ron didn’t mind. He thought it gave him opportunities to shoot pictures which were less posed. Ah.. it’s the company calling… serious, concentrated face.
Below: see?? all those strips are the same material as the skirt. Blue suede shoes are by Peter Kaiser. And yes, I am wearing tights. To be correct: hold-ups (thigh highs). Brand Oroblu, type: Sun.
Below: this is what the outfit looks like when it is a bit warmer. I swap the blue longsleeved top for a sleeveless white top and put black and white slingbacks on my feet. I actually think this looks even better. This photo was taken in the office with an iPhone, so the proportions are a bit distorted.
Below: and now for the finish something completely different. I still tried to wear the cream dress (see this post) as a dress rather than a tunic. So I altered a lacy underskirt to the right length underneath the dress and added my modern bulky shoes. Alas, I don’t like it. At all. The clean lines of the dress demand clean lines underneath as well. Never mind, not everything you try is a success.
Next week: me and my friends shopping in Zwolle.
Linking up with Patti and Visible Monday and Catherine with I will wear what I like.
