Me and my hair are in constant battle. My hair frizzes like crazy here in hot and humid Singapore and at numerous times during the week I feel like cutting it all off. But how wonderful do I feel when it’s been professionally blow dried and it looks like it is supposed to do!
These images were taken just a few days before last week’s images and what a difference a blow-dry makes!
I’m wearing my white sailor pants for the gazillionth time on this blog. They continue to be favorites even though closures have come lose and the pants are gradually falling apart. But hey, we got belts to cover that up right? You have seen the fuchsia tunic blouse before as well. The necklace is new and was acquired at the Zsiska sale in Amsterdam.
I have told you numerous times how versatile white pants can be. They make for a clean look and you can combine them with almost any top in your wardrobe. I absolutely believe that you can (and should) wear white throughout the year, even though you may opt for a more wintery white. For more ideas you can check my article on how to wear white pants. The fuchsia top would be great for winter too. Why do we all feel that we have to wear drab and somber colors in winter? We need those brighter colors more than ever at that time!
I combined my pants with my comfy Tom’s sandals. Altogether this is a super comfortable, yet chic look that you can wear almost anywhere. I was pleased to see quite a few sailor pants on the catwalks for coming spring, so I expect to see more of them in shops. A good thing as I will finally be able to replace these golden oldies!
What is your favorite or oldest piece of clothing that you still regularly wear?

You look absolutely stunning!
That pink is definitely your color. It does beautiful things to your skin. And I actually like your hair with a bit more length to it; it frames your face very nicely. I’m never satisfied with my hair and yours looks great!
I am in love with those sailor pants! When my fiscal fast is over, I need to go on a mad hunt for a pair of my own. And your hair is absolutely stunning!
Have a lovely fuschia top and purse and even sunglasses, but wasn’t sure how to wear them. Now I know! Thanks!
Yes, this is a very elegant and easy going look. I am giving it a ten. I also fully agree with you on white trousers. Black or white with a nice bright colour… my kind of outfit.
Love the necklace. Tempting shop that Zsiska eh?
Wow you are very generous Greetje. Yes very tempting certainly when they have a sale with 70% off!
Hi Slyvia,
You look radiant! Love that color on you and your necklace really makes it pop. Cheers! Deborah
Thanks Deborah. Yes the necklace is quite a show stopper. It’s often too much with an outfit but with this bright shirt it kind of blends in….
I think this is one of my favorite outfit of yours. I always enjoy seeing these pants on you. Something about the bright pink and that great necklace that just takes this outfit to another level.

Thanks Denton. Yes sometimes I get it right, although good hair helps too!
Amazing outfit ! Especially the fuchsia shirt, i like it !
Sofie
Thanks Sofie!
You look amazing, beautiful colours and fabulous hair.
Thanks Aileen!
I love the bright pink shirt and necklace Sylvia. My heart always sinks when I see a sea of dark colours for winter. Your hair looks lovely too.
You have made me realise that I didn’t wear my white linen pants at all this year but I did wear my white jeans and white capris!
Thanks Lorraine. Luckily white linen pants never really go out of fashion!
Lookin’ GOOD!
This really is such a classy chic bright fun look. I can see why the pants are a favourite of yours. I personally stay far away from white anything but these really do look fresh and crisp on you. I really love the pop of bright pink and of course that fab necklace you bought when I was visiting.
Your hair does look great! I would have a hard time cutting it after seeing how wonderful it looks….mind you…hair is hair and it always grows back. I’m a big help aren’t I? ; )
bisous

Thanks Suzanne. One of these days I will convert you to wear white 🙂 As for the hair, yes but if it only looks like this 2 days a month I’d rather be rid of it. Still I’m willing to give some treatments a go first….
Is your hair frizzy because it is curly or wavy? If that is the case, forget short hair. JUst don’t do it. Been there… My curly hair decided to stand to attention, at all times, when I cut it short. Not exactly a pixie cut, more like 4cm crew cut all over my head…
Hi Tilina, No it’s not curly or very wavy. Just thin and dry and the humidity of Singapore is just hard to beat. Thanks for your feedback!
