Fashion Police Beware! - Countryside Mode

avatar
(Edited)

I guess it's a good thing that we don't have a fashion police around here, in the Portuguese countryside,
because this is what I was wearing half of the day:

Hawaiian style swimming pants, my warmest ( woolen ) sweater and thermo socks, in sandals ( aka 'Birkies' ).

Do you think the fashion police would have fined me
or would they have been fine with what I was wearing?

It's fair to say that the weather was a bit bipolar, today ( North and South ), so I had to be prepared for all kinds of circumstances.
I think I did a good job.

At least my legs don't look like milk bottles ( 'melkflessen', as we used to say In The Netherlands ) and my socks aren't white.

Honestly, I feel I am pulling it off pretty well.

Not sure about this outfit though...

FYI: A couple of months ago, my multi-talented, super creative twin sister (what's in a name twin? ) came up with the idea to make ponchos that double as towels/bath robes, basically using (fabric used for) quick drying towels and connecting those.

She made a handful of them, one for her boyfriend, two for her kids and one for herself and I decided to order a poncho-towel-robe from her too. And then, today, a month or two after starting on this poncho of mine, my twister decided to continue with it/try to finish it. She ended up forgetting the design at home though and therefore drove over to me, to let me fit the thing and to see what color(s) I wanted for the hoodie.

We enjoyed each other's company, as well as tea and some homemade plum cake and rhubarb cake, that I baked yesterday and also went for a bit of a walk.

It was time well spent.


@kesityu.fashion , @clareartista Don't miss out on this.
This is your chance to see me pose.

@deirdyweirdy got some more legs for you ;<)

Okay, I can't really call it posing, as these pics were made in mere seconds, by my sister. Honestly, I didn't even know that she took more than one.

I guess I am lightning quick at changing my expression.
Some top models can learn a thing or two from me, it seems.


Is it just my vivid imagination or do I look sensual in the above picture? ;<)

I hope you enjoyed this different (county)side (blog) of mine.

I very much like to not to have too care much about what I wear, unlike what used to be the case in the many decades that I lived in cities. I also think I do care less of what others think of me but I do still like to make fun of things, including myself.

The fashion police will be enforcing such a genius idea rather than stopping it. :^)

I fricking love your post dearest Vincent - so fun and yet wise at the same time! 🥰🤭🤗🤨☺️🤩 You look brilliant, and if I saw you walking around my town looking like this, I'd most certainly stop to chat about 'fashion'! Great sharing 👋🥳

I like to think those are two of my strongest character traits.

You look brilliant, and if I saw you walking around my town looking like this, I'd most certainly stop to chat about 'fashion'!

I think I need a glass or two or three ( of vin(h)o ), to build up some courage, before I'd head out into the village wearing something like that, let alone in a town like yours.
I would likely wear it at the river beach though.

I agree with @clareartista you can wear it anywhere...😊
My countryside outfits (and even city ones) lately are just a fun, random mix of borrowed clothes, so I look more similar to you on these photos than you think😁
(and I am also wearing socks in "birkies" due to the weather 😂 or wellies for the proper countryside-feel)

Vincent, I am saying absolutely nothing on the grounds that I might incriminate myself.🙃

Haha! I said something similar to my sister, about how I looked in this outfit. I wouldn't stand out in a biblical procession.

The fashion police would put you in jail for this combo 😂

But we Hivers would not do that, and we would also try that plum cake... and the poncho, of course 😉

The Fashion Police clearly has no taste.
Most people on Hive do.

The plum cake was a hit. I made another one and finished it already.

Your outfit looks perfect for a day in the countryside, hehehe. I think you did a great job balancing the unpredictable weather bro. Plus, those poncho-towel-robes your sister made are such a clever idea. I wiiI had one now !BEER

I think these ponchos can be very captivating on a fashion catwalk. Applause for your sister! You've got good legs, hahahaha.

You look great. Gosh you should see what I throw on sometimes. At the end of the day as long as you are comfortable, who cares. Plus what a clever sister you have.
Fine legs there as well xxxx

Looks like your outfit would be great for keeping biting bugs off of you. Today I made the mistake of going out with a brand-new hoodie, then came home and noticed that my shirt and arms are now covered in fuzzy fabric everywhere (next time I'll learn to launder it first before wearing it). :)

Did you look like Fuzzy the bear, afterwards?

We are lucky with the bugs here, these days.
