I will tell you a bit about me and my blog. I am a 50+ Dutch personal style blogger with a passion for fashion. On my blog I like to write, and show my personal style and take you with me in my life. I love everything that has to do with clothing, shoes and accessories. As a little child I knew exactly what shoes I wanted and which dresses I loved to wear!
This is Nancy in a nutshell
During puberty I wore a lot of black as it was the punk period. However, I loved to wear pencil skirts too. So I guess it was a bit of a mix of punk and classic style. I always wore solids, never a print. There was a time that I had my clothes made especially for me. That was fantastic, I could totally be creative with my own style. Which was quirky at that time. I always walked outside the lines.
I never been a lover of jeans and hardly ever wore or wear it. Since I started blogging, prints and color came slowly into my closets. But I still love to wear black!
I have worked several years in fashion and I did it with so much pleasure. I loved to advice women on what to wear. And perhaps even more important, what not to wear. It gave a amazing feeling when a woman who was insecure about her clothing style left the shop with clothing that made her feel special. And that is what clothing and your outfits should do for you. Make you feel special. Life is to short to dress in a way that doesn’t make you feel fantastic!
Clothing should give you self confidence and nothing otherwise. Whatever your style is! You don’t have to be on trend to look good. Just make sure your clothes make you happy!
What ‘s going on at Nancy’s Fashion Style
Every Friday I host the Fancy Friday linkup party. Which is a great way to meet other bloggers and to show yourself. You can join too, even if you are not a blogger! I publish twice a year a Blooper post. Every 15th of the month Shelbee and I host The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. Also host another series with Shelbee that is called The Thrifty Six I love to do series with other bloggers. It makes you creative with the clothing you have. Often I am styling my outfits in a total different way then I would normally do, because there is a theme with a series. That’s fun! That’s what fashion and style is about!
So there is a lot going on my blog and I hope you enjoy reading it!
In my life
But I also want to take you with me in things that happen in my life, and that includes my lung disease. I have a hereditary lung disease, and that is why I don’t work anymore. And that is also why I started my blog. I am visiting doctors to get on the transplant list. It’s not easy and as the years go by, I am getting weaker. But I do everything I can to take good care of myself. I work out a lot, I eat healthy. But most important is to enjoy life to the fullest! And blogging is a part of that! You can read all about my disease here!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Not only about my disease, but if you want do a series together. Or perhaps you want some advice, you can ask me anything!
Have a great day!
Nancy
