Dressed like the Swedish flag

As I promised my Swedish blog friend, Anna of  Four Season One Wardrobe the blue dress from H&M is paired with yellow, well nearly yellow, like the Swedish flag! The scarf is really a sarong, from H&M as well, by Matthew Williamson, from a couple of years ago. The shoes are old, expensive, comfortable and rather awful, but my feet are killing me these days, and these hurt less than others.




This is also the outfit I'm linking to Visible Monday on the Not Dead Yet Style blog. The rings are old, and worn often, just not in the cold season when I'm wearing gloves - they're simply too big for any glove!





Yesterday I remixed the red version of today's dress, this time with a cropped cardigan. The shoes are not pretty, but sadly necessary at the moment.





I apologize for the photo, it's a bit blurry for some reason. To match the dress and scarf (which is another sarong, meant for the beach) I got out my red and purple rings:



Tomorrow I'm linking up to the Everybody Everywear blog to participate in this month's pastel colours challenge. I have a new dress lined up, and hope my new bag will arrive in time.


See you soon!

    I feel very honored Tine! You make a great job with the accessories and to draw attention to your upper body instead of your feet. I hope you will feel better soon so you can wear sandals! Hmmm... I suppose it also requires some warm weather!

      Thank you Anna - warm weather would help my feet. The colder they get the more unbearable the pain gets - and I'd love an excuse to "get" some new sandals as I only have one pair...

    Waving tall and proud like the Swedish flag itself! You look fabulous as the flag - better than the flag in fact! The colour combination is perfect (I like the red too!). And your blings are beautiful. Yes, it's nice when gloves are not required so we can load up on the rings.

      Thank you very much Melanie! I hope the next post's pastel coloured outfit won't be too bland for you, I'll make sure there's a fair amount of bling...

    What beautiful colors in your Visible Monday outfit, although I'm unfamiliar with the Swedish flag. What is the problem with your feet?

      Thank you so much Terri! The Swedish flag is really a darker blue with a strong lemon yellow cross. From what I can make of my orthopedic surgeons hand writing I suffer from Tendonitis, and I've had insoles made last week. I really hope they will ease the pain!

      Thank you very much! It has taken me some time to "come out of the black/neutral-closet", and with the colours came the need for bling! I'm a totallly different person since I started this blog and my transformation.
