Blue and White
is a classic colour combination, always fresh, and so much more forgiving than black and white for someone with my colouring. Blue and white combo is also a good, neutral background for a third, accent colour.
So, several good reasons for wearing blue and white, none of which are really relevant here. I wanted to wear something (mainly) blue and white because this post goes live on 6 December (Independence Day in Finland), and I thought I should wear my national pride on my sleeve, so to speak.
I’m wearing:
coat: Reiss (old, seen on the blog many, many times…) /
dress: Phase Eight (seen before HERE) / s
carf: Fraas (old) / bag and sunglasses: Chanel / boots: old
To my Finnish readers: Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! (= Happy Independence Day)

Beautiful dress and scarf, Tiina! You look perfectly lovely. xox-Pattihttp://notdeadyetstyle.com
Thank you, Patti!
Those colors are so stunning. You really know what looks good on you.
Thanks, Connie! Well, blue is always a safe choice, isn't it?
Beautiful dress! I have got a simular one and bought blue boots with it. I think it will make your outfit more stylish!www.fashionandfoodandotherstuff.com
Blue boots! That sounds fabulous!
Happy Independence Day! And how lucky that the national color suits you perfectly!
Thank you!
The blues always suit you so well .I agree blue and white is such a fresh combination, be it for Summer or Winter. Enjoy your Independence Day.
Thanks, Can't go wrong with blue…
Beautiful combination of blue. The dress is cute.
Thank you.
I agree and have said this publicly: blue and white are a great combination. You look smashing here. P.S., I'm honoring our friend Suzanne on my blog today!
Yes, blue and white is a fabulous combination. But I'm a bit biased, of course. Or, it would be unpatriotic of me to say otherwise…Suzanne deserves to be honoured, you're right.
Cute look…I love that color of coat…mine are all either black or brown, black or brown:)Laurawww.24-7style.com
Thanks! I always try to find coats in striking colours. A coat is such a big part of the outfit, and we tend to wear the same coat with so many different outfits, and for months on end. And I need some colour to counteract the winter bleakness…
Now this is the kind of winter blues that make me happy! And the pink scarf looks lovely against the coat. Happy Indepenence Day. You've made Finland proud with your outfit!http://petitesilvervixen.blogspot.co.uk/
Thank you!
You did very well. The voat might be old but is still very nice. And the dress is a beauty.Greetje
Thanks, Greetje!
I do love these colours and your brooch!bisousSuzanne
My favourite colours, too. The vintage brooch was a birthday present a year ago, it's quite a piece.
You are such a master of combining these colors, Tiina! Really beautiful look, feels luxurious to me, perfect for winter.
That is so sweet of you, Natalia! And it's great to see you back!
Wonderful print , I need more blue in my closet. The coat looks lovely on you!Thanks for linking up with Turning Heads Tuesday!jess xxwww.elegantlydressedandstylish.com
Thanks! My wardrobe is full of blue, I should really experiment with other colours more. It's just so easy to find something nice in blue, and it goes well with many other colours, too.
