{Happy with my Escada Stretch Pants}

On Good Friday, April 3, it was already lovely weather and we were out in the garden and our gazebo.
Happy with my Escada Stretch Pants
Never we can walk alone, there is always that cat-magnet and they love to be held and cuddled.
This is Bandido, Spooky's brother and one of the four remaining siblings.
Sure, picking them up, you get covered in pollen as that is everywhere around this time.
Yes, I'm also chained... wearing my 22 kt gold belly chain since the 90s when we lived and worked in Indonesia.
Also love my suede Cole Haan lace-up boots for walking!
Speckie is on the floor...
These pants do have some velvet strips along the sides in a very dark brown, almost black.
Haha, pollen on the floor, and left is Bandido, center is Speckie and Barty to the right...
That's one of my favorite weekday stretch pants.

      Dearest Deborah,
      Thank you and yes, that belly chain is special; something that I brought back from the East and I've worn this now for some 15 years!
      Hugs,

      Dearest Pallavi,
      Thank you and sure the gold chain I wear day and night for 15 years now since we started living and working in Indonesia. Bandido is a very soft and silky boy.

      Dearest Celia,
      Thank you so much for your sweet words. Yes, we enjoyed the outdoors before the heavy rain started. Today and tomorrow it is sunny with blue sky so we are very happy for a change!
      Hope the rain will soon make room for beautiful spring weather in your area so the fur babies can enjoy the outdoors!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Beste Irena,
      Dank je en ik heb genetisch gewoon geluk denk ik maar. Wel heb ik nooit gerookt en ook nooit gedronken en snoepen doe ik ook niet i.v.m. mijn diabetes type 2. Ben erg gelukkig hier met man en poezen in een mooi huis en grote tuin. Ons paradijsje waar we vaak tijd met lieve vrienden delen.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

      Dearest Michiko,
      Yes, the gold belly chain is still a remainder from our work and life in Indonesia... Our kitties love being cuddled and they are also quite happy in their paradise.
      Sending you hugs and love from both of us.

    Liebe Mariette,
    eine wirklich schöne Hose. Sieht toll aus mit den Applikationen.
    Deine Katzen sind wirklich wunderschön. Und so treue Begleiter.
    Auch bei uns fliegen die Pollen und machen vielen Menschen zu schaffen.
    Einen guten Abend wünscht dir

      Vom Pollen habe ich Gott sei Dank keine Probleme, nur das gelbe Staub hat man davon...

    Dear Mariette,
    You are always stylish, even on a casual walk, and don't you just look adorable in your cute stretch pants! So many lovely friends to keep you company, too! I have no idea how you tell them all apart :) We have lots of pollen here, too and my deck and vehicles are covered in green dust! A good excuse to do a bit of washing, I suppose! Hope your week is going well, my Dear. Hugs xo Karen

      Dearest Karen,
      Well, in the beginning it was kind of hard for telling our felines apart but now we know by voice, by movements and by looks. They're all quite different, just like humans are e.g. when having twins or triplets...
      We have had so much rain for an entire week and guess all the pollen got washed off. Washing is the only remedy for getting rid of it indeed. But it belongs to life's cycle and I don't mind as spring is so very rewarding in many ways!
      Our week is lovely as we had sunshine and a blue sky today and for tomorrow again.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    Hello Mariette!
    I'll choose this post for my comment after my return from "down under"!!!
    You look soooo handsome in the wonderful stretch pants, the best feel at ease and good looking :)
    The design is great, I would buy them straight away if I saw them for sale, although I wear much more military camouflage clothing for my photo sessions!!
    I hope you are well.... you look so by your pics!, and I wish you great sunny days ahead :)
    Hugs from back to France :( !!!!

      Dearest Noushka,
      Welcome back home from your short trip to Australia! Being with your son and grandchild was of course lovely.
      Thanks for the compliment and I can see why you need to wear military camouflage clothing or else it would not result into such fabulous shots!
      Yes, I'm very well and happy and the sun is shining for the 3rd day now after over a week long wet and dreary weather.
      Hugs,
      Mariette
