Believe it or not, my little city of Little Rock has a purse museum called Esse. I think it's the only one in the US. It includes purses- and their contents- on permanent display. It's quite interesting. </p> <p><a href="http://www.essepursemuseum.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.essepursemuseum.com</a></p> <p>I'm now off to find part 1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/observations-on-fashion-in-nl-part-2#post-1847068 Fri, 22 Sep 2017 01:52:04 +0000 Jaime 1847068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to be these women, especially #3.

And I was nodding along with your descriptions, that sounds like Amsterdam indeed (and the bikes, oh yes!-)<br />Did you visit the handbag museum? (I've never been).<br />Sounds like you and DH had two marvelous days exploring the city, and the Hortus Botanicus sounds absolutely wonderful too. (And yay for the rain staying away:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/observations-on-fashion-in-nl-part-2#post-1846917 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 16:26:26 +0000 Dianna 1846917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting reading. I always like this kind of threads. Nice pics, people do look stylish. Did you go to the Bag and Purse Museum? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/observations-on-fashion-in-nl-part-2#post-1846911 Thu, 21 Sep 2017 16:13:53 +0000 Carla 1846911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Further to my first post about my observations on fashion in NL, I will repeat that the scope is very limited - modified by a short period of observation, a small geographic sample, and the weather. Whereas Rotterdam was rainy during my stay there, Amsterdam has been sunny but cool. Just lovely fall weather. </p> <p>DH and I spent an entire day walking up and down the Western Canals and the Jordan, and doing some shopping. Day two we went through some of Old Town, into the Plantage, and the Southern Canals, to spend th morning at the Hortus Botanicus, and then take in the architecture.</p> <p>Further to my last post, I would like to add that men and women of ALL ages go, careening about on bicycles, and folks appear fit and slim. Men and women 'of a certain age' have natural hair - lots of white and grey, with more older men sporting longer hair, and beards, and the younger men close cropped sides, long on the top. Women seem to have either (mostly) long hair, or boyish crops/pixies. </p> <p>Below are some pics of some stylish folks that impressed me. There was a woman dressed in a column of olive, with a shiny bronze puffer, but I could not snap a pic. (I only took pics from behind to preserve anonymity.)</p> <p>Toronto has a Shoe Museum, but apparently Amsterdam has a Bag and Purse Museum! </p>
