Waistcoat on a skirt & Fancy Friday linkup

waistcoat on a leopard print skirt

I already showed you this waistcoat worn with these wide black trousers, but I like it so much better on a skirt. I was a bit persuaded by all the great looking trendy outfits on Instagram, at the beginning of the year. Where young beautiful women wore a waistcoat and then of course looking super sexy in it. Of course not on me…… But I thought a waistcoat was kind a stylish. I also wasn’t happy with the closed waistcoat on the black trousers.

So I started trying it out on different outfits to see how I could wear it in a way that I really like it. And this is it. Not with trousers at all, because then it becomes too masculine for me. But on a skirt and then also worn open. On a wide tiered dress it looks very good too! Also worn open on such a dress, or closed to show a bit more waist.

Often a outfit can look good in your head and then it doesn’t when you have it on, or the other way round. That’s what happened wearing it with trousers. I already assumed that my waistcoat was a Bad Buy, or as Shelbee and I say, a Good-Bye, but it was worth to give it a try. So a garnment can look bad on a certain item and look good on another. Just try different skirts, dresses trousers etc. You might be surprised. Just like me.

I love this skirt, a leopard print has always charmed my fashion heart. It is also the perfect length and I can cycle with it. Because then I just tie one side. Wrinkles won’t get in! How perfect is that. I already showed you my favourite outfit here. But I think this skirt comes second, also styled with a lot of black of course. 

I could have worn my white sneakers here, and I do wear them a lot under this look. But I wanted to show you different shoes, because you all know that white sneakers look good under everything! So slippers it is! Aren’t these fabulous? Do you wear a waistcoat on a skirt?

    I love your skirt Nancy. It looks great with the west, I never thought about it. I have a similar looking one that I am showing on your link-up party and you gave me a great idea on how I can wear it in warmer months. Have a great weekend. Anna

    Such a fabulous skirt. I can’t wear things like blazers or waistcoats because I also feel they look too masculine on me.

    This is a great idea, since I love blazers so much but it’s hot right now, this could kind of meet the same need. I need to try this!
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend sweet Nancy!

    I agree that waistcoats can look masculine with trousers. You’ve created a trendy casual outfit, love it

    Love the look, Nancy! Glad you didn’t give up on the waistcoat. This is great inspiration for possibilities other that the menswear look with trousers. A waistcoat is such a great layering piece for warmer weather, too. Hope you enjoy your weekend and thanks for sharing!

    I always want to stop shopping and save more for vacation and then I see someone wear something like your vest/waistcoat and think, oh I would like that! It’s an addiction!
    Lovely style right here!

    Ooh, I do love leopard and pleats – that is a gorgeous skirt, Nancy! Happy to hear it’s a wrinkle-free one too, and that you can cycle in it. I love vests/waistcoats, as they help emphasize the waist while disguising the tummy or any bulges (plus, extra pockets, right?). This is a super look!

      Well, this one doesn’t have pockets, doesn’t disguise my tummy and doesn’t emphasize the waist. Lol. Stil loving it! Thanks Sheila.

    Nancy, I think the waistcoat looks fabulous with this skirt! I haven’t tried this trend yet, and I don’t know if I will or not. But, you look so good in it! I liked it with the pants, too. Love those slippers! Thanks for the link party!

    That skirt is kinda fabulous, Nancy! I have outfits in my head that I put on and hate and then a month later I will try again and I love it! I blame hormones most of the time!
    Have a great weekend.

    You absolutely nailed the vest trend! SO pretty! a prefect match to a maxi skirt. I like the calm colors too, it looks so fresh during the summer.

    Nancy, the waistcoat does look really great with this skirt! I did like it with the trousers as well, but this look is much more you, for sure! And those sandals are so incredibly adorable! Fabulous outfit, my friend!
