I already bought these olive green combat trousers in the winter and now wearing it with summer-ish pink. They are super comfortable and I think they look cool. I choose to size up because these look better a bit baggy in my eyes. So of course I also wear it in the warmer months. But in a completely different way. With a little more colour.
Olive green trousers and pink blouse
I like this olive green best with pink. The cool look of olive green with the cuteness of pink. But I also see quite a lot olive green combined with yellow, or with white. I like that very much too, so I’m going to try that. White anyway, I don’t think I have anything in yellow. Oh yes, I have a yellow cardigan, I digress, back to olive green and pink!
I opted for a linen blouse. I also have this amazingly cute eyelet blouse, but because I wanted to wear these light sandals underneath, I wanted a bit more colour at the top. The eyelet blouse also only looks good if I have been well tanned by the sun. I’m a high contrast type so those very soft colours don’t suit me in principle.
The only linen item I own, a pink blouse
The blouse is linen. I’ve never been fond of linen. Those eternal creases, they drive me crazy. But I must admit that it is nice and cool on the very hot days. So a linen blouse is okay for me, not skirts and trousers. They always sized up after one wear, I remember from my working days. We always changed in the morning, before opening the store, in clothes from the store. But never linen, otherwise the size didn’t match anymore, and we still had to sell it of course.
Pink earrings, pink rings and some gold stuff, also gold looks very good with olive green. The sandals are old and never worn……..They are cute and have a very comfortable heel, but my feet look flat in them…..I need to get over that, the sandals are too cute! Stop fussing! But actually, my feet did get flatter over the years. I used to have slim small feet and now I have half a size bigger flatter feet. Gosh, what menopaiuse can do to a woman!

Thank you very much Tina!
Olive green is such a classic neutral and I always think it looks good with a brighter color, so you’ve tried some great looks. I love it with red too!

Oh yes, red is very nice too. And yellow too! Any colour really, lol.
I love the mix of pink and green! I also hate linen but when it’s hot you deal. Lol! Love the earrings too. Thanks so much for the link up Nancy!

Indeed, and for a blouse it isn’t that bad. I really don’t want to wear linen trousers!
Olive green and pink is one of my favorite color combos! Love this breezy look! You look so chic!

Ooh, I love the olive and bright pink combination, Nancy! Those pants are super cool and I really love this shade of pink on you. I always like the way linen blouses look but I never like the way feel against my skin so I rarely wear linen. Your accessories are all totally adorable, too! Fun outfit, my friend. I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Great combo Nancy! I love the pants and of course the pink linen top. I know what you mean about the creasing with linen but it sure does work in the heat!

You are always so chic and pulled together-you even make a casual utility look seem special! Love the vibrant shade of pink on you, and the way you dressed up the outfit with gold accessories. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
Author
Oh I am all smiling here by your sweet words! Thank you very much!
Had to take a picture of your outfit because I love it and I have just the pieces to recreate it!
I love the utility pants with the feminine pink and pretty shoes!

Olive green and pink is indeed a perfect combo, and I think that cute eyelet blouse will look fab with those trousers as well. I never knew linen sized up after one wear, but then again, I don’t think I’ve got anything which is 100% linen in my wardrobe … Oh the creases, they drive me mad 🙂 Funny about your feet being half a size bigger – mine half actually shrunk half a size. Crazy menopause indeed! xxx
Author
I wished mine shrunk! Haha, but yes crazy menopause. It’s more horrible then I would ever thought!
That’s a wonderful color combination! The sized up pants look great – perfectly slouchy but not baggy.
Author
Indeed, slouchy! Thank you Sally!
Gosh, I adore this outfit and cargo pants are the bomb.
Do you think that linen material has changed over the years?? Maybe the linen blends?? I think they ought to combine linen with spandex…that would help, LOL

I used to love rami better because that was a mix and fermer then linen. But it were never my favourite fabrics.
I love pink and olive together. This style of trouser really suits you!
Author
Thank you very much Gail!
I have never thought of pairing olive with pink but this is a fabulous outfit. I think that style of pant looks better oversized too.
Author
Thanks! I saw it on another woman fitted, didn’t like that all.
Pink is an amazing color on you!

Whenever I think of you, Nancy, I always think black because you say it’s your favorite color. But, oh, my! You look stunning in this pink! And, every other color you wear! Love all those fun accessories! Thanks so much for the link party! I hope you’ll come over for the Final Fridays link up!

Thanks Mira!
This is lovely together and those trousers really suit you Nancy. I had an olive green pair ages ago but got rid because they were too big. Think I’d fit them now!! Jacqui x

Thank you very much Jacqui!
Pink and olive is such a lovely colour combination. My feet seem to be constantly getting bigger and flatter – I have to wear men’s running shoes! I wish I had nice slim feet without bunions.
