striped spencer - knitting pattern

The ongoing trend of the knitted spencer!

A perfect piece in your wardrobe, diagonal stripes, horizontal stripes, checkered or unicolor.

Actually you can let your imagination run wild with this basic spencer pattern.

These are the two diagonally striped spencers that I recently knitted. The first one I made it with yarn leftovers in size S and the second one I knitted with pink tweedyarn in size M.

The spencer trend will continue this summer, it truly is a stylish item. You can simply mix it with anything. Mix, don't match. Everything is possible.

Everyone needs a spencer in their wardrobe! You can download the knitted spencer pattern in my Etsy shop. Available in size S and M and in English and Dutch version. It's easier than you think.

apparel

This week I photographed the favorite pieces from my summer wardrobe.

I made an overview of images per item (tops, bottoms, dresses and jumpsuits) and printed the sheets.

Obviously unnecessary but fun to do... and it reminded me of the dress up paper dolls, which I loved to play with in my childhood.

This flashback gave me the idea to cut out the photos so that I could make all kinds of combinations, without changing clothes.

A handy overview of my summer wardrobe. Practical because I love to travel light.

It makes packing your suitcase a lot easier if you bring as few pieces as possible. You can get the most out of your favorite apparel and change your outfit continuously.

Dordrecht, Sunday 10th of November.

A sunny Sunday afternoon walk through the beautiful old town of Dordrecht. For the second time this week we are lucky to enjoy the sun on the terrace!

Autumn is my preferred season when it comes to clothing. Bring on that winter wardrobe anew. Cardigans, coats, sweaters and I borrowed a beanie from my Etsy shop.

kaftan mood

In the Sixties, fashionista Diana Vreeland 'discovered' kaftans during a trip to Morocco.

The ones who know me, know that I could wear kaftans all day every day...

A kaftan in summertime creates comfort, ease in the heat, and very much a sense of grace.

Also after summer, a kaftan is the perfect stylish loungewear after a bath or shower.
Just chuck it over your head...

I brought some kaftans from Morocco, for those who need a kaftan in their lives...

Have a look in my SHOP.

A large knitted sweater with 'net stockings' and sneakers?
It may sound weird, but I think it's a cool outfit.

Today the mailman brought a H & M package.
Tonight after work I found the online purchases and though I had not ordered the garments as one outfit (I never buy complete sets) the unexpected combination seemd really awesome to me when I tried it on accidentally.

I'm wearing:
H&M gift of the week & magic legging by Maison Martin Margiela with black New Balance sneakers
