{My Escada & RED Valentino Score}

With my European size 34, or US size 4, I often do find incredible bargains at Outlets or on line. 

Let me show you what I wore on Easter Sunday...

Happy on Easter Sunday in my new outfit...
Lambsnappa skirt from Escada with also Escada low heeled pumps.
RED Valentino sweater and my Ferragamo bag that I received as a gift from my boss in Indonesia.

The canvas with leather Ferragamo bag goes very well with this outfit.

Skirt from behind with blind zipper, darts and walking slit.

Yes, both of us have always received precious gifts from people we did consulting for and I do treasure this Salvatore Ferragamo bag!

The skirt was brandnew, never worn with tags still on and spare button in bag as usual with Escada.

European size 34 or US size 4...

Found on eBay under items listed NWT (New With Tag). Nobody bid on it so I snatched this away for only $ 49.99!

Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th took care of the perfect sweater!
On December 23, they offered the already 41% marked off RED Valentino sweater, for an extra 40% off!

That's how one can own a couture top from RED Valentino that was $ 495.00 for $ 173.99...
Saving $ 321.01

For the entire outfit a good score; considering the leather skirt was such a steal!
Got this sweater in a Medium as I do not like to wear it tight fitting.

On such a bright, sunny day it was rather hard to capture its true color...

Detail from the front pockets...
You also can see the gilded thread in this RED Valentino sweater.

Very happy with this new set!
Pantyhose are from the Wolford boutique at The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills in South Florida.

Our yellow Carolina jasmines blooming so pretty!

Yellow + Sunshine makes one HAPPY!
Those yellow heart earrings I have for decades already...
Did wear this outfit when I last visited Harry, my 3rd brother, in The Netherlands.

Our Barty boy loves rolling in the dry leaves and catkins and he wants to be near me all the time!

Hope you also enjoyed a sunny Easter Sunday!

{Happy Easter}

Wishing all my readers world wide a Happy Easter!

Heart created with Violets from our Garden...

{Fragrant Narcissus Obdam}

One of our most favorite Heirloom Narcissus are the Obdam. They are also fully double and a dream in a vase...

Lovely cream with yellow and I love the greenish petals!

They really make a lovely vase and are so fragrant for enjoying indoors.

You clearly see the hint of green...

Let me show you these greenish petals more up close.

Such a beauty; don't you agree?

They should stay like that for weeks, why are flowers wilting so quickly?

The Obdam is really multi-colored!

Wish I could reproduce the fragrance for you...

Here is where they live, in our wood garden, across the center bridge.

This year they did yield twice a nice filled vase but some years, the buds just dry up and never open...

Do you have some fragrant double heirloom Narcissus like these Obdam?
