Signature Style
Repeat, rewear, make it your own…
I posted an almost identical outfit about 8 months ago, in spring. Well, the same skirt, the same coat, and the same sunglasses. Let’s call this the winter version of the outfit. I’m wearing a cashmere jumper, after all.
Speaking of winter… Where has all the snow gone? Well, we had full-on winter for a couple of weeks, then some slush and sleet for a week, and then the snow was gone and we’re back to warmer temperatures. Let’s enjoy while it lasts. Because winter will be back, with a vengeance…
Blending Colours
So I’m back to one of my favourite colour combinations: blue and green. Well, the coat is teal, and the scarf is aqua (which is basically just a lighter, sort of very diluted shade of teal)… In my book, teal (or aqua) is more green than blue. Yes, I know, some people say it’s blue… Let’s put it this way: teal is both darker and greener than turquoise. And turquoise is closer to blue than green, but definitely more green than, say, sky blue. Or my jumper here. Which is blue, but a warm shade of blue, which means that it’s closer to green but it’s not turquoise. And now you’re starting to get a headache… So, let’s just say that it’s probably a matter of personal taste and very subjective where we draw the line between blue and green…
Never mind… I have neither the interest nor the patience to analyse this further. After all, the only thing that matters is that the colours in this outfit provide just enough contrast yet blend in harmoniously.

Where do you stand on the blue-green conundrum? Is teal blue or green?

That outfit is so pretty and so flattering! Love the colors!
Thanks, Nancy!
I love this subtle color combination on you, Tina! And I love that the skirt provides contrast for an additional interest. It's a great number!
Thanks, Natalia! I love blue and green tones, and as a colour combo it always seems to work.
I can't choose between blue and green, but I know what looks great – these colors, on you! Thanks for linking, xo-Pattihttp://notdeadyetstyle.com
Thanks, Patti!
Ooh, I love this! Blue and green go so well together, especially these shades. You look like a painting.
Thanks, Ally, that's so sweet.
Either blue or green , you do wear them so well.Love the graphic print of your skirt , it adds such an interesting dimension. Hope your milder weather continues for a while longer.
Thanks, Jill. I love this print, although it looks a bit like something you'd have as kitchen curtains. Or maybe that's what's so great about it… I'm afraid the mild weather is already on its way out…
Beautiful mix of colors! Your skirt is fantastic with its geometric print and vibrant color combination.
Thanks! I love geometric prints (or stripes), especially in bright colours. it's a bit 60's Mod, isn't it?
I love Green and Blue together and love this combination! And were are you heading?
Thanks, Nancy. These photos were taken a week ago on Saturday, I think we were going to lunch, nothing special.

Thanks, Anna. Blu is one of my favourite colours, too, and a bit of green makes it so fresh and crisp.
One of my favorite color combinations are blue and gold and that skirt is everything!
Oh yes! Blue and gold, genius! I particularly love gold-toned jewellery with blue.

Thanks, Melissa. Yes, I think most people wear their clothes over and over again, and I think it's sort of 'my job' as a blogger to show how to mix and match what I already have in my wardrobe and encourage others to do the same.
