Having done consulting for the Italian company near the Venice area, before we actually started working and living there full time, did yield me some buttery soft Italian boots as a GIFT. Leave it to the Italians for presenting you with the most elegant and luxurious gifts! They know how to do that. These boots were bought in Montebelluna, province of Treviso, Italy on November 2, 1984. They are entirely lined with the softest leather and have a little heel.
That's me out for a walk. Nancy Sinatra sang it already: These boots are made for walking...
Leather vest from Escada with leather shorts from Escada; both entirely lined and also buttery soft.
Wool sweater by Escada and my old lace tights...
With the sun out it is hard to look at you...!
So let's turn around and you get to see my lace tights with back seam and the little heels.
Our kittens are well disciplined; evidence that those tights survived many, many years!
Are you wearing anything made out of leather; besides your shoes, belts and handbags?

You look absolutely adorable ... hope everything in your world is going well!
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteThanks dear lady; that's a compliment. Let's hope things go well indeed. Waiting for some tests...
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Beautiful in black leather! Perfect for cool days! I have one black leather coat with a tie waist - a thrift shop find. It is too rainy here to wear leather very often, but I do wear it when it is dry. Love your boots, too. Enjoy your stylish walks, Mariette! xoxo
ReplyDeleteDearest Karen,
DeleteThanks for your compliments. Oh, sure the climate has a lot to do with what you wear. As long as the heels are not too high (like nowadays...!) I can walk for miles on end, on pavement that is. Not on a wood trail of course. Such a thin wool sweater with soft leather vest is perfect for winter time here. Hope you stay comfy too and watch the cougars and bears when you walk; you need running shoes out there!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,

Liebe Elisabeth,
DeleteVielen Dank für dein Kompliment! Auch für dich sonnige Grüssen zur neuen Woche.
Lieber Gruss,
Mariette
Hoi lieve Mariette,
ReplyDeleteJe staat er weer vlot op....en je hoeft er niet eens hard voor te lopen;-)
Naar mijn weten heb ik zelden lederen kleding gedragen,kan me nog herinneren toen ik jong en slank was een reebruine suede soulbroek en mijn oom uit Duitsland maakte voor mij en manlief toen we pas getrouwd waren lederen korte jassen,heb die zelden gedragen,was niet weg van het toch beetje stijve Duitse model.
Mijn schoenen en enkellaarsjes zijn wel altijd van een goede kwaliteit leer.
Fijne zondag en liefs!!
Ger
Lieve Ger,
DeleteJa, de ene leer kwaliteit tegenover de andere maakt soms een enorm verschil. Dit vest zal ik niet snel wegdoen en ook die broek niet. Zó zacht en warm en ook comfortabel in de dracht. Met zakken en al; wat wil je nog meer? Ik heb twee leren jassen, een langere en een kortere jack (toch over de heup)... Ook een suede jack die ik kreeg in India voor een habbekrats omdat hun voor Armani en dergelijke huizen in Europa lederwerk deden. Pieter heeft er ook een mooie jack van nog.
Liefs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteyou has leather lace tights with back seam and the little heels.
you are good looking stylishly lady!
Hugs and love to you always!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteThanks for your compliments. It is easy for dressing nicer if you live in a lovely climate. I found that already true for Italy, compared to the always wet and cold Netherlands where I grew up.
Hugs to you as well!
Mariette

ReplyDeleteDimi..
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic in boots and shorts in the sun. Little green tendrils of envy are enclosing me. It's snowing here.
Enjoy a sunny sunday..........*s*
Dearest Mariette,
DeleteI am posting on this reply link as I could not locate a comment field on my site.
I love you leathers and you look great. I hope you are feeling well.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Love to you, Ginger
This is so weird. After I left a reply under Smartcat's comment the add comment field showed up. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Ginger
Dearest Ginger,
DeleteAt times Blogger does play tricks on us...
So good to hear from you dear lady! Leather is fun to wear in our mild climate. Will keep you posted friend!
Hugs,
Mariette
It is always fine with leather clothes. I have some because my father was a leather tailor.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Dearest Elna,
DeleteThat is very special that your Father was a leather tailor! We did work for Pond's India Ltd and they too did produce leather garments for Armani and such. It is quite a job to do this. For you too it is a great garment to wear in Sweden, due to the climate. It keeps you very cozy!
Hugs,
Mariette
Complimenti per la tua silhouette, perfetta davvero. Io non potrei mai vestirmi come te, non ho proprio il fisico! Paola
ReplyDeleteCara Paola,
DeleteGrazie per i complimenti, ma sto iniziando il mio quindicesimo anno esattamente lo stesso. Possibile c'è un unico ma così può indossare certi vestiti per lungo tempo. Non mai dovuto fare nulla, penso che solo ereditatolo da mio Papa.
Baci,
Mariette
Love your outfit! You look so chic!
ReplyDeleteDearest Olga,
DeleteThanks for your compliment, it is a great outfit for a conservative casual look. I'm blessed for never having had problems with me feet; I could walk for miles like that!
Hugs,
Mariette
Wow Mariette, Jij durft! Wat een strakke outfit! Het staat je erg goed! Vervelend dat jullie door de droogte een deel van jullie bloembollen niet omhoog komen. Ik hoop dat de natuur zich snel weer herstelt.
ReplyDeleteFijne week!
Madelief x
Lieve Madelief,
DeleteDank je! Het is niet dat de bloembollen niet omhoog komen (sommigen niet natuurlijk...) maar ze hebben alleen maar loof en géén knoppen. Dat hebben we nog nooit eerder gehad.
Liefs,
Mariette
Bloody hell you look good I love those boots not that I can wear boots anymore my legs are to fat........lol
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThat sounds like clear Aussie language! Thanks for the unique down-under compliment. Can't help it that my body has not changed its shape since I was 15. Lucky me I guess.
Hugs,
Mariette
You are stylin' Mariette!! Woot woot!
ReplyDeleteAnd look at that sunshine so bright you have to shield your eyes. Lovely!
Nope, no leather here.
xo Catherine
Dearest Catherine,
DeleteThanks and yes, that is the bright Georgia sun; year round. You get to see the prettiest blue skies here... Wish I could send them your way!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous in your black leather - wow!
I have a leather skirt which have not worn for a long time.
Sorry to hear that you had a flood in the basement and yes, pity we could not get more of an even share with the rain.
Have a happy week
hugs
Carolyn
Dearest Carolyn,
DeleteThanks! The distribution of rain at times doesn't make sense! We know one thing for sure that we have to install bigger gutters on the house...
Hugs and a happy week with rain I pray.
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteOh You look gorgeous!, Oh yes I love belt,Jacket and handbag from leather.
your collection are fabulous
wishing you a great week
love to you
Dearest Mariette ... you look absolutely stunning in your Escada ensemble!! So glad the sun is out in your area ... here today is rainy, and very cold. Wishing you a beautiful week... Hugs, C. (HHL)
