Sounds pretty masculine, doesn’t it, combat trousers with a checked shirt. A bit like a forest ranger. But I immediately fell in love with this look. I did wear it with a heeled ankle boot, though, to keep it feminine, of course. But first, where were we?
Fun workshop and relaxed weekend
-
- Me before we started the workshop at the town hall.
-
- My snack board! I am not the most creative one….
-
- And in use!
-
- My brother and sister-in-law on Saturday night.
Let’s continue from last week’s Thursday evening. I had a workshop then, celebrating our 10th anniversary with volunteering for the community. (We participate in discussions and propose adjustments and ideas regarding social domain matters.) The theme was: make your own snack platter. It was so much fun. It was a cozy way to interact with each other in a different way than just meetings. Friday was cleaning day. Saturday evening my sister-in-law and brother-in-law came over to play cards, so I first worked out in the morning and then made snacks for the evening.
Sunday was a lazy day, as card evenings usually run very late, or actually early… Monday was the same as always: laundry, working out, etc. Only, in the afternoon I had a terrible coughing fit that lasted a few hours. The next day I woke up with pain all over my upper body and extremely short of breath. So I skipped working out and took it easy. Oh, how I hate that. I want to be active!
Combat trousers and a checked shirt
Let me tell you a bit more about the outfit. A while ago, I saw someone on TV with a similar look. I immediately fell in love and started looking for a shirt and trousers like that. I already had a similar sweater. I scrolled through all the usual websites, but I couldn’t find anything I approved of. So, off to Vinted. And there I found the trousers and shirt. And they both fit perfectly! It was exactly how I envisioned it. Well, it’s not often that I can actually find it then, so it was a surprise.
The photos are a bit strange, though, because I’m being cut in half by the sun. Oh well, you’re not used to the best photos from me anyway……Wearing it with my favourite ankle boots. I think a outfit like this needs a bit of a heel to make it feminine. Or a lot of asseccories. I want to wear it without the sweater and with my brown slingbackes when it gets warmer.
What else went on
Wednesday I was feeling a lot better, that is so weird right, one day you feel really shit and the next day it’s over? Well my body still hurts from being out of breath so long, almost 5 weeks. When I am out of breath like that you start to use your intercostal muscles and that gives you muscle pain. But it’s all looking much better. I did not do anything special the rest of the week, just working out and household cores. And waking up in a white world…..again….hate it. Enjoy your weekend!
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. I also pin my favourite on Pinterest.
My Fancy Friday Favourite of last week is: Pamela of Style Yourself Confident
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.
This is a great casual look. I wouldn’t describe it as masculine at all. Glad that you are making a good recovery after a terrible time.

Thank you very much Gail.
I love the look you recreated! I wish I could layer two tops like this but I get so darn hot! Sorry that you didn’t feel well but glad you are feeling better now.

It’s actually 4 layers Kathrine! LOl.
I love how your outfit turned out! It really looks nice! I am glad you are starting to feel better. I was glad for a normal week this week as I spent most of last week helping out at my parents since my mom wasn’t doing well. I got to have a little fun shopping this week!

Of course you do! I hope your mother is doing well again!
I like the look and there are several different colors in the shirt you could use for a change of sweater or jacket.

Hi Nancy, glad you are feeling better after a rough few days. I don’t think this outfit looks masculine on you. It fits in so well with the preppy, collegiate, back-to-basics look that is so popular right now. Love your charcuterie project-so cute! And what a nice way to socialize and create at the same time. Thanks for sharing and posting the link up and hope you have a nice weekend!

Your outfit is really cute! I caught a pretty nasty cod this week and I needed to take it easy too. I hate not getting to work out but I also didn’t want to share my germs with any of the older ladies at the gym I go to (plus I start coughing just walking around the house). I understand your problem is much more chronic and i am sure all that much more annoying because of it but we must listen to our bodies even when we’d rather not.

Yes indeed Joanne, that is so very important! And take rest! But I hate that.
This outfit looks great on you! Love how the trousers fit especially! Glad it all worked out! So sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling great.

Thank you very much Laura!
Love that look on you, Nancy! The grey top worn over the plaid shirt adds so much interest to a neutral color scheme

Thank you very much Allison!
What a cool outfit and such a change from the Nancy of just a couple years ago! I’m sorry to hear you’ve been feeling so tired and under the weather. I hope you’re soon much better (and the snow is gone)! Thanks for the link up!

Well the snow is gone! Haha, that’s all.
I’m happy to hear you found your trousers on Vinted—it’s finally coming to the U.S. and I can’t wait to try it, as all of the European bloggers (like you!) have been raving about it forever and I’ve felt so left out! 😉 Such a great score!

And finding something that perfectly fits is an extra bonus!
