King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima are currently on a four-day state visit to Kenya. On the second day of their visit, the King and Queen visited the town of Naivasha. They toured an Inland Container Depot (ICD), a key location for dry export products. During their visit, they learned more about the transition from air freight to sea freight.
The King and Queen also visited a Dutch company based in Kenya. The company invests in a healthier and more sustainable local ecosystem and provides childcare and education for its employees’ children. Additionally, the King and Queen took part in a discussion session, where civil, military, and government institutions exchanged expertise on topics such as water, climate, and security.
Etro Paisley Print Silk Blouse and Long Skirt
Really like this re-wear; very appropriate for this visit
ReplyDeleteMaxima looks wonderful in this Etro outfit. The belt buckle might be a little much - lol - but I see it as a replacement for jewellery. The colours suit her beautifully and it all works well with their environment.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad they went to Naivasha. It's a beautiful place, located in the bottom of the Great Rift Valley which is an amazing natural location to begin with. We used to go there on weekends for fishing, and countless more times during the 17 years we lived in Kenya. Just a short 90 minute drive from Nairobi.
PS. It isn't shown on this blog, but Maxima wore some lovely pieces for her night-time arrival in Nairobi, that were designed by Kenyan fashion and homeware designer Anna Trezbinski. Anna's mother-in-law, British author Errol Trezbinski who wrote many novels about the British colonials living in Kenya, was a friend of my mother.

I agree with you about her outfit. She looks great, but I think the belt is a bit much. That being said, it is very "Maxima". I really love her hat.
DeleteInteresting information on the region--thanks!
Really really nice outfit!
ReplyDeleteShe looks great, doesn't she. Well dressed, beautiful colours, interested in her environment, the people, genuinely friendly.
ReplyDeleteAgree in all that you say! A
DeleteQueen Maxima is indeed a beautiful woman.
ReplyDeleteI love her red nail varnish. Red is my favourite nail colour.
Beautiful couple and well matched with outfits in beige tones.

The Etro designs are one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteWould have preferred a shorter skirt here, and not a straw handbag, which is more appropriate for a day to the beach.
Interestingly enough, that straw handbag Maxima is carrying is commonly found in all areas of Kenya, not only the beach. The shape is quite distinct and people use it as a handbag or to do their market shopping. The one Maxima has is probably a designer one, but the local ones are made of sisal or palm leaves, or other natural fibres. In Swahili, it is called a 'kikapu', which is the word for basket.

Nice coordination with the kings suit. Perfect outfit for the occasion. Got to love the huge buckle and earrings. She does it with ease. Would love to see what colourful jewelry she brings home.
