I've been enjoying all of the photos on IG. Love visiting the museums and people-watching in Amsterdam (are you by chance getting to the Kroller-Muller Museum in Arnhem?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2332022 Mon, 24 Jul 2023 15:42:37 +0000 nancylee 2332022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt dress, Janet! (a favorite color of yours if I recall?)</p> <p>Envious of your travels...Amsterdam is on my list! Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2331490 Fri, 21 Jul 2023 04:45:37 +0000 Janet 2331490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bee, when we visited Amsterdam nearly 8 years ago, we went to Bruges directly afterwards! We had a blast and I think you’ll enjoy it. I loved “In Bruges” too!</p> <p>Today is our last day of the river cruise. It’s been an amazing time! Tomorrow we end the cruise in Basel.</p> <p>I didn’t go back for either item — I haven’t been in shopping mode, even though there was an Issey Miyake shop in Heidelberg (!). Our excursions have been so active and the days so full, my priorities have been elsewhere, and it’s a good thing — I have a full closet at home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2331458 Thu, 20 Jul 2023 23:32:51 +0000 Bee 2331458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun in Amsterdam! I’ve always wanted to plan a trip there and stop in Bruges afterwards for some R&amp;R since my husband used to be a DJ and my friends, most of whom I met through him, can be voracious party animals. Even though he’s 20 years older than me and most of my friends are between 40 and 60, when I’m with them I feel no different than when I’m with much younger people. Plus, Bruges would be a dream come true for me ever since I saw the movie In Bruges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2330879 Mon, 17 Jul 2023 15:11:21 +0000 Sara L. 2330879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We just got back from Amsterdam a few weeks ago and it was great!.&nbsp; It was very hot when we were there and I mainly wore dresses to try to keep cool.&nbsp; We also did a canal tour and lots of walking.&nbsp; It was our first day and my teenagers were jetlagged and fell asleep.&nbsp; We spent a couple hours at the Rijksmuseum but skipped the Van Gogh one - there's only so many art museums I can take my kids to.&nbsp; We went to the Scheepvaart instead, which is a maritime museum with a full-scale replica of a 17th century sailing ship. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2330875 Mon, 17 Jul 2023 14:44:39 +0000 RobinF 2330875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds fabulous so far! We loved Amsterdam and those museums in particular. Such fun people watching sitting outside a cafe with a glass of wine and some Bitterballen. We rented a house on a canal and it was one of our favorite trips.</p> <p>Love your potential purchases. The jacket looks like a great fit and the dress color is gorgeous. I say go for it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2330716 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 13:57:40 +0000 Anonymous 2330716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lot of walking!

The duffle bag is a great souvenir from Amsterdam, I love the orange colours.</p> <p>I'm glad you packed good footwear for all that walking! Enjoy your cruise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2330681 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 04:47:06 +0000 Jaime 2330681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous looks Janet!

Just a few days ago I started fantasy-planning a possible Rhine cruise and/or trip to Amsterdam - the Van Gogh museum in particular being a bucket list item. My husband’s best friend has asked us to visit his German city near Koln next year, so it got me thinking about other area destinations. I can’t wait to hear more! And I also love the blue dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2330561 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 12:51:40 +0000 Angie 2330561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!

It looks phenomenal on you! Have a wonderful time on the river. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2330545 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 11:23:49 +0000 The Cat 2330545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue dress is stunning on you! And I imagine it could be styled in a multitude of ways (jewellery, footwear, with or without various toppers, etc.). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greetings-from-amsterdam#post-2330541 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 09:56:40 +0000 Janet 2330541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey all!</p> <p>We’re embarking on our Amsterdam to Basel river cruise today, but we have had an amazing, full time of the last couple of days walking all over the city, visiting the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum (which actually moved me and Jamie to tears), and eating and drinking with our friends. I’ve logged an average of 10 miles of walking a day for the past three days! </p> <p>1) A WIW photo for today — we’re about to do a very touristy (but from what I hear worthwhile) canal tour, and then head to the ship this afternoon. Lighting is horrible but you get the gist.</p> <p>2) I tried on this COS blue dress and quite like it. I didn’t buy it but if it sticks in my mind, we’ll have a day back here before we fly home, and maybe I can get it then. Pardon the black Ondo no-show socks. I was fighting jet lag too!</p> <p>3) A cute green quilted jacket in a secondhand shop somewhere in the 9 Straatjes. Only €20 so maybe I should have gotten it. </p> <p>4) The only purchase I have made a packable duffel from the Rijksmuseum store. </p> <p>We have had fun watching people while sitting outside at a cafe sipping drinks. Street fashion is all over the place! Everything goes. I love it. This is a place where you can just dress to please yourself. Jamie and I had a fun little game last night identifying people who had capital-S Style! </p> <p>I’ll post more pics later in off topic. </p>
