Looong hair

and you thought my hair was long…. 

Scarves and glasses

In Holland we have an expression which sounds like “Clothes make the man” (actually, this is a literal translation).

 

(disclaimer: not my kitty and I would never dress up animals like humans)

Looking around, it seems that the Dutch dress up to be very tedious (boring), because there is a lack of expression and colours on our streets comparing to countries like Italy, Spain, the UK, Morocco, Russia, etc.

So, here is the dose of quirky, expressive assessories I found on the net, and would love to have:

space glasses in gold:

Dare to be square-glasses:

These would look cool on my boyfriend: white space glasses

Not many people in Holland would dare to walk around with these glasses (except in a gaybar):

Ohh, I love fashion like this:

Also scarves:

and more scarves:

Colour, that is what we need!!!

Check for yourself if the Dutch designers are going in the right direction: Amsterdam fashion Week is up this week:

Andy Warhol party (very gaybar dragqueen-esque):

And, to keep in touch with our National Identity: some designers will exhibit their fashion in the Red Light District (seriously). Designers like Bas Kosters, Jan Taminiau, Daryl van Wouw, Edwin Oudshoorn, Roswitha van Rijn and Mada  Gaans will exhibit something the regular visitor of the red light district shun away from: CLOTHES.
