We are still in the grey days and so why not wear it with green. I believe grey is my new black this winter. But today I’m throwing in a little bit of colour, namely green. You saw me wearing grey with brown and in summer I love to combine it with pink or white. I love it too with yellow, but I don’t have anything in yellow anymore. Not even my ankle boots that I loved very much. Such a cool colour for boots! And actually a terrific colour for clothes! I will give it a try when the warmer months finally come.
Grey trousers and green ankle boots
I realized that I have always worn these types of ankle boots! Ever since I was a teenager. I remember a certain store in Arnhem that always sold a lot of ankle boots in all kinds of colours. At the time, besides black, I loved cobalt blue! But over the years I’ve had them in all kinds of colours, even gold. Unfortunately I rarely wear heels anymore, walking is becoming increasingly difficult anyway. But they are ideal for sitting parties. But back to the outfit. Green and grey is a very complimentary combination, right?
The trousers and blazer are new, well new, bought in December but not worn yet. Zara blazers are the best, I know, I’m repeating myself. The grey trousers are actually a bit too baggy, a size smaller was too tight. But I do like my trousers a bit baggy. The jumper with bow is from last year and wonderfully warm. And I always like a bow. I have had ankle boots with a bow, earrings, etc.
Balance the look with green accessories
To bring back the green in this mainly grey outfit, I wear green bracelets and a green belt. I read somewhere that if you want to wear a colour with an almost monochrome outfit, you should wear an odd number of that colour for the sake of a balanced look. Of course should is suggestive here, if you find it much nicer to wear an even number, that’s completely fine. I must honestly say that I am always a fan of balance and often go for even numbers. For example with vases in the house or something. But when adding an extra colour I now always stick to an odd number. I think it looks better somehow. I am pretty happy with this look, the green and grey are perfect to me. And the trousers are super comfortable, yet the blazer makes it not to relaxed!
I was allowed to choose a pair of ballet flats from Tieks for a collaboration and I choose these leopard print ones. Don’t think I’ve ever had ballet flats that fit better than these. And perfect sizing too. These shoes have soles underneath so they are not so flat as other ballet flats. I will wear these a lot in the warmer months!
And now it is time to join a Fancy Friday Fashion party!
Every Friday you can put your blog, or social media account, in the spotlights and meet other bloggers. Even if you’re not a blogger you can join! But it is a fun way to let others know about your blog posts, and to support each other. It would be nice if you would comment when you join the linkup party.
My Fancy Friday Favourite of last week is: Andrea of Living On Cloud Nine
I would also appreciate if you shared a link to Nancy’s Fashion Style in your post or give a little shout out on social media to promote the Fancy Friday linkup party! And now share your post!
By joining the Fancy Friday party, you agree to receive a weekly reminder email for the linkup party.
You have such a slim figure Nancy that I’ve rarely seen an outfit that you can’t wear well! The jumper is a beautifully gentle gray/green combining the two colors so well. Such a comfortable outfit I would imagine!

Grey and green are such a chic and unexpected combo! 💚🩶 The pop of green really brings life to the outfit, and I love how you balanced it with accessories. Also, your take on the “odd number” rule for color placement is so interesting—I never thought about it that way, but it makes total sense!

Thanks, but it is actually grey…..
Nancy, you always put together such chic and stylish outfits! You have such a talent for it. I love the unusual color combination and muted tones of green and brown together. And the bow blouse is perfect. Your leopard print Tieks ballet flats are so cute. They would be great as slippers or for travel, too. Thanks for sharing your style, and hosting the link up. Hope you have a great weekend!

Oh thank you so much Di! You can bend the ballet flats so they are perfect for travels!
That pop of green from the boots is fabulous with the grey outfit!

Hi, Nancy – Those beautiful green booties are gorgeous with the gray outfit! Although bows are not me at all, they look wonderful on you. Thanks for sharing the odd number rule for wearing a color with monochrome. That same rule applies to layering jewelry (not that I always adhere to the rules. Lol!) Have a great weekend – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com

Yes they are very! Thank you Ann!
I love the Tieks that you choose—that leopard print is great (and counts as a neutral in my book)! And aren’t they so comfy?

Jess, at Elegantly Dressed and Stylish featured some Tieks ballet flats, too. I noted a bit of green on the bottom of her shoes but couldn’t tell what it was. Now, seeing the same thing on your pair, it looks like extra padding or soles. I imagine that makes them even more comfortable. Jess styled some metallic gold ballet flats that looked lovely with her coloring. Your animal print pair are so fun and chic, too. But being a lover of all things green, I adore your booties!!

Yes they are super comfortable Leslie! Thanks, I love those booties too!
This is such a lovely look! You look fabulous honey. Wishing you a great day!
