The story behind the traveling pants!

These pants are almost 5 year old, I got them in Amsterdam. I remember it was my little brother's wedding and I flew in from Atlanta, and enjoyed a week with my siblings and parents.

We took a a trip to the Albert Cuijp Market and I saw these, not expensive at all.  I love that I could tucked them in boots for winter and wear them with flip flops in the Summer.

When I got inside there was none left only the one on the mannequin so I asked the lady to please take it off the mannequin so I could try it on. I must have prayed very hard cause they fitted perfectly.

Today I decided to brave the cold for this picture, here I am a Caribbean Native standing without a jacket in a chilling 26 F, sorry Mom it took me only 4 takes to this. Next time I will wear long sleeves.

We had a Traditinal Dutch dish tonight for dinner,

zuurkool met worst (saurkraut and sausage)

tommorow it is going to be -10C 

Friday: Skinny Cargo Pants

I build today's outfit around this super cool  grey scarf. I love scarves but not your usual scarf. I love the ones that when you wear it with a simple white t-shirt it adds something extra, let's call that a certain chicness.

Despite the cold and wind I feel pretty good . I was on the look out for a location to take a picture and we drove by this beautiful but small park. I used to bring the kids here when they were little.
Don't you love fall, the beautiful colors of the leaves, that you can wear your favorite jacket that shelters you from the chill and eat deliciously  comfort food. Tonight feels like a night to lounge by the fireplace, with a glass of wine and a  bowl of  yummy chili .... but not sure if I am the one cooking it though:)
