Happy Queen's Day to Dutch Friends!



Just back from my son's school fund raiser. It was fun and such a successful event. The gARTbage we built had some good bids on them. My favorite was a bookcase made out of half a boat. What a creative idea! I'd have it in my son's big boy room in a heartbeat.



You're probably wondering what Queen's Day is if you don't have close Dutch connections! Queen's Day (Koninginnedag) is a national holiday in The Netherlands to celebrate the birthday of late Queen Wilhelmina. It is a crazy day overall where everyone is dressed in the Dutch national color orange and attend crazy street parties and flee markets. The memories of strolling the streets of Amsterdam last year is making me smile as I write this. You can read all about it here.



I have an orange jacket to wear on Queen's Day's, but I couldn't risk showing up in orange between two important meetings and the fund raiser today. Instead I opted for a less "scream-y" orange camisole. I also had an orange scarf that i forgot to photograph. The tunic boyfriend shirt is my recent score at NY&Co and the pants are exact ones in the link on the right. I have them in a few different colors. These are the best pants and they 50% off right now.



It is weekend! Yay! Please show yourself Sun!
