What a nightmare I had from this round of Match Made in Seven. Anna chose the Best of British theme and now you can think of all kinds of things, flowers, stripes, if necessary a fairy tale, but girl what a choice, you made it very difficult for this Dutch lady!
Welcome to the monthly edition of Match made in Seven! We are an international group of fashion bloggers who meet once a month. One of us chooses a theme in turn, and that can be anything. A book, music, a color, a movie. And then we style an outfit based on that theme. The theme of this month is chosen and is: Best of British
Also take a look at the other bloggers how they have interpreted the theme this month.
: Deze blogposts zullen in het Engels geschreven zijn, dit I.v.m. de Internationale bezoeksters!
Best of British
I am so sorry, but I have to admit that I asked Nancy a bit of advice, because to make a dress out of an English flag, I didn’t really want to do that either.
She gave me two words to think about and that was High-Tea and Mini Cooper. The first thing that came to mind were mainly sweet scenes with floral dresses. Now I am not a type for the flower dress and I thought back in time …
I still remember that my mother had a magazine, DE KNIP, there were patterns to make, for example, a pair of breeches in a riding style. And there came my eureka moment … I am going to devote my style entirely to the English countryside, after all I live here in a very beautiful environment where this style would not look out of place at all.
My British country style
I don’t have a dog anymore, but if I had one now … preferably a nice hunting dog.
When I think of typical British, an umbrella comes to mind first. So of course he also had to be on the photo. They also wear a hat more often and I, as a fan of a beautiful hat, can only appreciate that and so it had to be in this fashion story.
I combined the look with a tight checkered pants that looks a bit like riding pants, a white blouse, black tie, black jacket and long black boots.
My second British look
This time I had so much inspiration that I made a second look, a more subdued look, in which I used earthy tones.
My mother was so sweet to give a few items from her wardrobe. And I even wear a hat from my own grandma Dirkje here.
The same white blouse, with a tie from my stepfather, the waistcoat is from my mother’s wedding, she wore that together with a suit.
In my hurry I forgot my brown boots, but oh well it has now become fun too, just think that brown color!
I also made the brooch that I am wearing myself with all old materials.
The stola has been crocheted by my mother herself, she is very creative and luckily I don’t get that from a stranger.
I hope you enjoyed my fashion story… Best of British!
I would like it if you visit the other lovely ladies and see how they made a match with the theme Accessories…

Wat een mooie look Sonja.
Ik vind de eerste prachtig, zou zo op een paard plaats kunnen nemen.
Wat een leuke post én outfit. Vind ’em heel bijzonder. Prachtig die zelfgemaakte stola, knap dat je moeder dat kan. En leuk dat je een hoedje draagt van je Oma.
Dank je wel… mijn moeder is helaas momenteel niet meer aan de knutsel vanwege haar reuma. Dus deze koester ik.
Allebei helemaal perfect. Zet er een paard bij en je kunt zo opstijgen, helemaal in stijl!
