Dutch Clogs + winner Doortje Vintage Giveaway


Bought this top at GUESS WHERE? Yep, T2 vintage. Seriously seventies and seriously adorable, and y'all know I love any combination of red (much more vibrant in real life) white and blue. THE COLORS OF MY HOMELAND YO




Now ain't that a beaut'? Haha I feel so ridiculous. I am not a patriot at all, but being an Englishman in New Yo... I mean a Dutchwoman in Belgium somehow makes me more aware of my nationality and what it means. I have only lived in Holland for the first 5 years of my life, but my parents still instilled me with certain values and personality traits that are absolutely positively very different from your average Belgian. Not that I dislike Belgians, it's just that my personal background makes me more aware of the special role that heritage plays in a person's life. Somehow I feel as if the Dutch history applies more to me and my life than Belgian history does, if you catch my drift. When I see pictures of old fishermen in small Dutch villages, it strikes a nerve with me that the Battle of the Golden Spurs fails to hit. To be honest, I've always had a ridiculous love for boats and fishing (whenever a videogame has a fishing minigame, expect me to POUNCE on that shit), so maybe that's the reason! :-D


God I'm such a blabbermouth, does anyone actually find this interesting to read? :-D ANYWAY CHECK OUT MY OUTFIT ITS COOL RITE

top: T2 vintage
skirt: Zara
belt: boyfriend's
toenailpolish: Catrice
fingernailpolish: Model's Own @ River Island


Totally in the mood for some herring and the Eleven Cities Tour now!
This girl's a real patriot, her face is even orange (our national color)!



But then again, I don't like herring and I can't even skate without falling on my ass every two feet :( I'm such a bad Dutchie.

By the way: thanks for your feedback on my video debut in yesterday's post! 
@ Laurel: I speak Dutch, not German!! :-D
@ Naomi: I hope you were referring to the four English words I said in the video because if you weren't, you didn't even recognize me! :( :D



 SO I just noticed the deadline on my Doortje Vintage Giveaway ended, so it's time to announce the three lucky winners!!

First: belt goes to ... Catherine from That Silhouette Girl!
Second: brooche goes to ... Iris from Love The Fabric!
Third: bag goes to ... Emma from Scrapbook De La Emma!

Say congrats to the girls, and don't be sad if you didn't win, I'll be putting up a new giveaway this week :)

    Your outfit is patriotic in the sense of the U.S. too (I have several red/blue/dresses I like to wear on national holidays).

    I've been searching for a jean skirt like yours for ages but no luck so far! Glad to see you rockin' one.

    How many languages do you speak? I'm so envious of anyone living in Europe, I sadly only speak English (and only a bit of Spanish).

    history of Belgium? very easy, we were always in-between! the result of all that: no government. you know how to wear those colors, love the sweater. the texture is amazing and i love seeing you in white. the clogs are perfect, they are like elongating the look (don't know how else to say it).

    PS didn't know you were from Holland!!!

    Aah fishing mini games, the stuff that heaven is undoubtedly made of :).

    Your clogs are lovely (and extremely patriotic!) - I actually bought a pair of Lottas for myself following your recommendation in a previous post. They're now my go-to footwear for sunny days :). Thanks for the heads up!

    Adorable outfit, love the top, now I'm so curious aobut this so-called T2 store.the clogs are awesome too! Totally did find this interesting, I thought you were from Belgium! Oh wait a minute, that would explain your blog name!
    Is the Dutch you learned as a little one diff from what you speak now, like a diff dialect or can belgians and dutch understand each other perfectly?
