FRINGE FEVER

Some things you just want. You have wanted them for some time and you have wanted them bad! For me it has been a leather fringe jacket for quite a while. But when you have a certain fascination about an object it also has to be perfect. Which is why it has taken me some time to find the right example of fringieness (no this is not a word). For reasons I can not explain I entered a fashion store I would normally not think to go in. While browsing threw the racks of  'law and behold' the cool-cat I spotted some fringe and was immediately sold. Although it's not leather it was half of an I could not resist. Until I find a genuine leather version I'm in love with this one.

TRUE EXAMPLES

Many of us have admired our mothers or grandmothers while looking at a photo book.  They portrait empowered women dressed accordingly to the time and style of when the picture was taken. But then something happens. Fashions change, children are born, work takes over and style just becomes a thing implemented when special dinners and birthday parties occur. To be blunt and yes I am generalizing. I think this is something many Dutch women suffer from. I like to call it comfort dressing. Attention to style and individuality subtract. What may happen is that clothes are worn that where in style back in the day and often don’t suit anymore, or older women fall into the pattern of what is expected of the particular age group.  As for I can say the typical Dutch granny wears beige sandals, beige/kaki or navy blue stretch pants and a striped shirt with woolen cardigan. Hair firmly done with a perm and makeup or nail polish is out of sight. I have caught myself thinking I will not end up that way. I want to become that stylish granny that has to restrict her granddaughter from raiding her closet and jewel box every other weekend.  So for now some lady’s that certainly set an example.
