Happy 4th of July to all my friends and readers in the US!I shared a small glimpse of today’s celebration on my Facebook page and this is what I wore. Only with red wedge shoes instead of these yellow sandals. This is a pure cotton dress by Cos. The back is open and if I lean forward you can actually see my back…
And here is one more photo with a clutch. I feel it’s the finishing touch to this outfit.
Tomorrow and Sunday I will celebrate some more. It’s going to be a birthday weekend!
I’m now officially 48 and look forward to a great year ahead.

What a stunning dress and it suits your perfectly. Happy Birthday to you Sylvia and wish you all good things xxx
Happy birthday, many fruitful years ahead. Enjoy urself girl, u only live once. The green dress is very cool and the foot wear, just the right one.
Happy belated birthday, Sylvia! You look absolutely stunning in that blue. The cut is perfect for you- so modern and classic with enough fashion edge to look sharp. Wishing you many years of chic and stylish blooming.
Also. . Having read info from you and your husband about health. I investigated Sarah Wilson of ‘I quit sugar’. I chose to enroll with her online 8 week programme. WIth positive life long changes. Thankyou Sylvia.
Happy Birthday For The 4th. The Dress Looks Wonderful On you.
Happy Belated Birthday Sylvia! Beautiful dress and you look fabulous in it. 🙂
Sylvia..belated happy birthday.. you look spectacular. Your dress fits you perfectly. It is elegant, interesting, stylish. A true style challenge! You have set the style bar high! Enjoy summer.
Thanks Jane. Nothing wrong with a good challenge. Enjoy it!
This dress is one of the -if not THE- prettiest items I have ever seen on you. The color, the design, it is simply gorgeous and utterly flattering. You look long and slim in it. Very feminine and contemporary. You look sexy and happy.
Really a wonderful dress!!!
you never cease to surprise me Anja as I thought this dress was a little too lady like for me. I would never have guessed this is one of your favorite looks on me. Glad you like it though!
😉
The dress is so pretty and looks great on you. I love the detail of the back of the dress!
Happy Birthday! (belated)
This is one stunning dress. What a great choice. I also love how you’ve styled it. Very chic. Those pockets are the cherry on the cake.
Hope you had fun enjoying the rest of your birthday weekend.
You are one month younger than me. We will need to celebrate more when I’m in Amsterdam.

Happy Birthday, Sylvia!
I am surprised COS has a colourful dress 😉 You look fabulous and I love both the colour and the unique style. The open back is great for your Singapore climate too.
First I wondered why you are wearing it with nude/yellow sandals but together with your clutch they are a perfect match!

Hahaha….I lately said to Sylvia that COS does not sell colors, so the first thing she said to me when I saw her wearing this dress was: “And you thought that COS has only B&W!”;-)
Happy birthday Sylvia! This dress is just lovely, and the color is perfect for you.
Happiest of birthdays Sylvia! I love the dress, both the color and the cut. I haven’t bought anything from Cos but it seems like they have some lovely pieces.
Enjoy your day!
As I said, I think this dress is elegant, stylish, modern and has a perfect twist with that back. Very good dress. Well cut, especially those pockets. It gives the perfect amount of hips, waist and bum. If it had sleeves, I would copy it immediately and run to the shop,
That dress is gorgeous! Happy birthday!
Phenomenal dress, Sylvia, and you look terrific in it!

What a cute dress! Happy Birthday!
