I so wish I could change the title of this post to something like “dress for success”, but unfortunately after 2 attempts in 1974 and 1978, the Dutch failed to collect the World Cup for the third time… Again. :-(
Many of my friends know that I started watching the World Cup games in 1994 and have been a supporter for the Italian team ever since. Thank God they won the champion in 2006, it was like a dream come true, so for me the long journey of being an Azzurri fan came to an end. This time I was hoping for an orange victory, because my best friend, who started watching the games together with me since 1994 is a big fan of the Netherlands. It could have all been so different for Van Marwijk’s oranje and it could have been such a wonderful summer for her…Sigh…
Maybe this is how life is, but never give up your hope! Happy weekend my friends (in a cheerful orange mood)!

I absolutely love your blog. Hermes and photography are two of my biggest passion in life too. It’d be great if you could list the brands/shops of the clothes you’re featuring. You put together some of the best ensembles I’ve ever seen. I think I need a suede vest now…..
橙色和巧克力色是偶最喜欢滴橙色系搭配，太美啦亲！！！
话说前天拿到一FIFA足球，家里踢了下下，把邻居给踢上来啦，特来报告，哈哈！！
挺好的，草啊草 <3
对啦，忘了问丝巾叫啥了。。
Such a great ensemble! The pointu is so cute- love it! Hugs, L
Classic!
Love how you paired the shoes to tone down a little.
真好看，真是眼前一亮。
不过我个人一点都不喜欢荷兰队，踢得太野蛮了。。。
birkingal, a warm welcome and thank you so much for your kind comments! I am so happy to meet someone who has the same hobby like me. :-D And no problem, I am going to write down more information about the clothes next time~~
Linda, maybe you should get the pointu too. It is your favorite TR. ;-)
jibjab, thanks dear for always being so supportive! :-)
泥M，嫩这个不靠谱的小调皮，非常同情那可怜的邻居哈哈。^_*
菲，拔吧拔吧，拔完了就不草了哈~~ :-P 丝巾名字叫做Le Tigre Royal。
pimo，谢谢啊。能理解，其实这次支持荷兰的多半是因为多年的情结。他们十几年前可不是这个踢法啊。。。
哈哈 裙子是故意摆歪歪的嘛
那个橙色真抓眼球呢
你的衣橱就是 被风吹过的夏天
小白，谢谢科学家。是滴哈，我觉得摆得一板一眼的话好像不能把这套的那种随意的感觉表达出来。;-)
Thanks, q9y8! It’ll help me know where to shop :P
Looking at all the Chinese characters make me wistful. I so wish I could read. I should’ve paid more attention to the teacher so many decades ago :(
birkingal, you are very welcome! :-)
Ah, Chinese, you don’t need to regret this. It is not easy to master even for Chinese people…
Taking about language, I wish I could write English so beautifully like you. BTW, if you see any grammatical errors/typos in my posts, please don’t hesitate to correct me. I really appreciate this. ;-)
Are you kidding me?! Your grasp of the English language is one of a native speaker. Very beautifully written too, I might add. I hadn’t realize until recently that it was actually your second language!
I’m taking private lessons along with my 4 year old. I’m deadset on her being fluent in the language since I’ve struggled with it all my life. So far, she has managed to speak Chinese and English fluently so hopefully she keeps up with it.
Sorry that the orange team lost in the finals, but I actually wished that Spain would win, so I’m happy with the outcome myself.
birkingal, thank you so much for the encouragement! I’ve had a blog in Chinese for many years and just started this new one for about a year. To be honest, I am still not confident enough. ;-)
Wow, your DD has done a great job! I am sure she’ll master both languages.
Elysium, I know. If only it wasn’t a Spain against Holland final, I surely will be a supporter too. I really enjoyed watching their games and Iker Casillas is my favorite goalkeeper. :-)
My pleasure. You’re doing a fantastic job :)
Yes, I hope DD will continue to be multi-lingual. I’m envious of those who can speak numerous languages, particularly the Swiss.
And kissing his girlfriend on TV was quite romantic :D.
我好像从来就看不懂足球，哈哈
喜欢这个橘色的包包，有阳光的气味
我老觉得橘色有点“跳”，不容易搭配好，但是确实真的很好看，很活力
Hi, I stumbled upon your blog from a post in TPF. I LOVE the outfits you put together. Like birkingal, photography and fashion (particularly H) are passions of mine.
Quick question – where is the skirt in this post from? I love it!
btw – I was amused to see my real life nickname “ceci” right as the last comment! =) I had already typed in “ceci” under the name option, when I looked up and saw it would be a repeat.
cecicat, a big welcome! It’s always a pleasure to meet someone from TPF. Thank you for your kind comments.
The skirt is from Zara (their summer collection).
P.S. do you have a blog too? Would like to see your photographic works.;-)
P.S.S. how lovely that your nickname is also ceci!
Thank you q9y8! I love the Zara skirt. Chances are though that it’s no longer available in my neck of the woods.
Hm, I have a travel blog that I used to post when my DH and I traveled for 1/2 year.

Unfortunately, that trip is when I started becoming interested in photography, so the pictures are not so great. Most of my recent photographs are of my six month old DD. There are some on tpf. =)
cecicat, thanks for sharing your blog. I love the travelogues.
BTW, the Zara skirt is from their spring/summer collection. So it is probably hard to find now, but maybe they’ll have something similar for the fall/winter. Good luck!
