I already showed you this lurex two piece set at The Thrifty Six. If you haven’t seen it yet, go ahead and subscribe → to my blog! Just kidding. Or actually not really. Of course I want many people to read my blog. While the reality is that blogs are much less popular than years ago. I also notice that in the numbers. That doesn’t stop me from investing a lot of time in my blog. Purely because blogging is my passion. I have been very active on Instagram for a while, but since this summer I don’t like it at all. And I certainly don’t like making videos. So I let go of IG, I will post on it, but only if I feel like it. I actually do enjoy sharing stories. But this blog is where my heart is.
Btw, I wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year!
Two piece with Lurex, so luxurious
During the weekend I always leave the laptop where it is and then I love to get back to work on my blog on Monday morning. I like everything about it. Writing the text, editing photos, the monthly series, commenting back, reading other blogs. But what did I actually want to talk about? Oh yes, the outfit of course.
Well, at The Thrifty Six you could already read how I got this lurex two piece. And isn’t it beautiful? I love clothes with lurex. Brings me back to the 70s, when I adored my grandmothers clothing.
This is a skirt and a jumper. Easily mistaken for a dress right? But it can also be combined separately with what I already have in my closet. You would think that if you have enough clothes to choose from, that you can always combine something new with something that you already have in your closet. But nothing could be further from the truth, I can tell you.
A lurex two piece is actually so easy to style, perfect for a matchy matchy girl
I often find that I have bought something new and it just doesn’t fit with anything I have. But I’m also a wimp with colours and style, etc. Something has to have exactly the right colour or the right fit or length or you name it. Otherwise I don’t think it matches. You could say I’m an uber matchy matchy girl. That’s why I naturally fell head over heels for this outfit. What could be more matchy matchy than a lurex two piece!
My Fancy Friday Favourite of last week is: Patrick of Adventures in Weseland

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.
You can also grab a button to support my Fancy Friday linkup party if you like. I would appreciate it very much! You just have to copy and paste the code under my button. Or you can share a link to Nancy’s Fashion Style in your post or give a little shout out on social media.Thank you!
By joining the Fancy Friday party, you agree to receive a weekly reminder email for the linkup party.
I’ve always admired your blog Nancy and I can see all the hard work you put in. I hate Instagram too! Especially as I lost my account last year with no help from Meta at all. I take it or leave it now. Have a lovely weekend xx

Thank you Gail!
Nancy, I absolutely adore this two piece set! It really does look like a dress, a perfectly colorful and happy dress! You are stunning, my friend. I am looking forward to seeing how you might style these two pieces separately, too. I am with you on blogging…it is a part of me and I do enjoy getting on my laptop in the dark hours of early morning and doing all the bloggy things. Sometimes, I get tired of it. But the passion always returns. I don’t do videos either. Ick. I also don’t watch them. I think I will always prefer the written word over any other type of communication. Happy New Year!

Haha yes me too! I wait to wish you a happy new year until Tuesday!
I enjoy blogging so much too: it is part of my daily routine and I have fun taking pictures even though my almost 13 year old keeps asking me if people are really interested and read about my outfits =)
I love how the stripes go in two directions and how the colors really work together. A great set to wear together or separate!

Haha, all my girlfriends think the same, they don’t say it, lol. But it’s our passion! Thanks Mireille!
Passion for blogging shines through! Lurex two-piece set looks fab. Here’s to a New Year filled with happiness and health! By the way, check out my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0h64fPOK94. Leave a comment, and if you subscribe, it’s greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I love a 2 piece set; because not only do they look great together but then they can be worn with others things for a completely different look! I hardly ever think to do anything at all with Instagram and I don’t think you’ll ever see me in any video or reel. I keep trying and abandoning almost all social media; I like my blog and Pinterest and those are pretty much the only 2 I even remember to do anything with.

Blogging is our maine part isn’t it! Social Media is time consuming and not interesting at all.
Oh Nancy, this is just the most perfect set-and you look great in it! What a perk, finding it on Vinted-you seem to have such good luck finding treasures on that site. I love the Lurex threads, the bright colors and the different directions of the strips. And the pleated skirt! I confess, I am an uber matchy matchy girl, too. Hope you have a wonderful new year, filled with all the things you love best!
Author
Haha yes you are too! Thank you very much for your lovely comment!
That set is fabulous for you Nancy. I love how you added the belt and the blazer to switch things up.
I love blogging but not the writing part. For me, it’s all about creating new outfits and content.
XOXO

Thank you Jodie! You don’t like the writing part? That surprises me, you are never lost for words so it seems.
This is such a great outfit, Nancy! I love the stripes and I say why not post it again? Social media is such a game these days – I stopped caring about the numbers too and am just posting what I think is great content when it is convenient for me. I will say though, regarding your blog, definitely don’t give up on it! My traffic is higher than ever since the pandemic started…I don’t think blogs are dead at all! You just need to determine how you want to drive everyone to your posts if not through social media. =)
I hope you are having a great week so far!

Thank you very much Amber. Most important thing is that we have fun with doing what we are doing right? And we love to blog!
Thanks very much for the link-party, Nancy! Like you, I also prefer blogging, and I remind myself that I originally did it just for myself, and that’s really why I keep posting. I like having a record of my outfits that I can browse through, and I like seeing myself aging (NOT! Ha!). The interaction with readers and fellow bloggers is the best, although I’ve been struggling with responding to comments – work has gotten busier and I don’t have the mental energy for it.
I LOVE this outfit – those separates are amazing, and I would wear them!
Author
I know you would love this one! Thanks for stopping by love!
Looking very nice. Wow, thanks for the blog love. Also, thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.

This is such a fun outfit! I think the blazer works really well with this set, it looks amazing on you đŸ™‚ I prefer blogging over social media as well, it’s a nice way to spend the time, writing posts and reading others posts đŸ™‚

Hi Mica, yes it is, it’s a passion right! Thanks for dropping by!
I absolutely love this two piece set! I find Instagram hard work for very little return – my account hasn’t really grown in the last year and I find it a waste of time trying. I don’t have time to make lots of reels, maybe that’s what you have to do to become more visible on the platform. We own our blogs though so Meta can’t mess with those! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2024!

This is a beautiful look Nancy. I love the different direction of the stripes, that caught my eye1 I go back and forth with IG, it takes so much time! Blogging is so different than it was 10 years ago, but I continue on.
Have a great day!
