Snow, sleet, rain, snow… That’s March in Finland. Well, in Helsinki, anyway. And I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record when I say that I’m so tired of it. Unfortunately, spring won’t get here any sooner, never mind how impatient I am…
However, by now I’m really struggling to come up with new outfits for the blog: you’ve seen my entire winter wardrobe over and over again, you must be as tired of it as I am. So, what should I do?
No, going shopping for new winter clothes is not an option. I’d rather spend my money on spring or summer clothes at this point (even though I may need to wait a while before I can wear them).
So, I guess it’s time to see what’s lurking at the back of the old closet, then.
This is the only time I’ve worn this coat this winter. And I don’t think I wore it that many times last winter, either. To be honest, I’m sort of tired of it. And there’s definitely nothing more boring than a black winter coat…
But it does make a nice backdrop for some studded accessories.
I’ve had this belt forever and I’ve worn it on the blog before with a summer dress. And I thought maybe it would make the boring, old coat a bit more interesting. What do you think?

Thanks!
I agree the studded belt works brilliantly over the coat. I can only imagine after such a long Winter you must really tire of your coats.
Thanks, Jill. After such a long winter I've reached the point where I just want to burn ALL my winter coats…
I totally agree, a black coat makes a nice backdrop for some studded accessories. You look fabulous!Even our 'mild' Winter is being too long, sleet and cold is what we have these days!besos
