"I hope you like my dress, your majesty"
My family celebrated our last Queensday at a town
called Vlissingen. Vlissingen is one of my
favorite places in Holland because of the beach
and the boulevard.
For those who doesn't know, Holland is a monarchy
and for that we celebrate our queens birthday on
'Queensday' each year. As being said before, this
years Queensday will be a special one because it
will be our last Queensday for now. Our queen decided
to retire and this means her son Willem-Alexander will take
over the throne. It will be a 'Kingsday' from
now on!
Queensday has always been a big holiday thing here. Events
are held everywhere and everyone is feeling all
proud being 'Dutch'. Including myself of course. And for
this special occasion I suited myself up in a nice orange
dress from H&M (it was only 10 bucks!).
Enjoy my post with pictures spam!
We were blessed with great weather!
Strolling around fleamarkets! Didn't bought anything cool tho.
Our national color is: red, white, blue and of course orange.
This spot really reminds me of a tropical exotic place.
Beautiful couple.
I thought it looked funny how this statue popped out in the sky...
Enjoying 'kibbeling' a.k.a fried fish!
Mmm kibbeling! Dat bakje is echt grappig haha.
ReplyDeleteI love your dress! And the fried fish looks really good! :D
