White and lights color during wintertime? This look is what I wore for New Year’s Eve this year. Stylish white pieces with a top that is beige with some golden glam.
Here in Finland, 99% of people are wearing only black and dark colors during winter. Because it’s so dark out there I prefer lighter colors to add some positivity and colors to the darkness.
And btw, if you’re blogging about beauty and style don’t come to Finland to do outfit shots during the winter (October-February) because a) we have sunlight for 0-4 hours a day depending on how north you are and b) if you’re in south where you have sunlight it’s probably raining to whole winter. Yep, I wish I’d be in California right now haha! Fortunately, we have our balcony where we can take decent photos but I cannot wait for summer and better light conditions though.
Shirt: Kaffe
Jacket: White House Black Market
Pants: Zara
Watch: Apple Watch Series 2 Gold with Antique White Sport Band
Ring: My lovely engagement ring
Puppy: Ben, our 10 months old white miniature poodle who came to celebrate the beginning of the New Year with us
Shoes: I added beige heels from Tiger of Sweden to this look but kind of forgot to photograph them oops!
What I love about this look is that it’s cute and professional looking at the same time. I also love that white jacket that I bought from White House Black Market store in the US couple year ago. It’s quite hard to combine with other clothes but I still find it very pretty and very different to my other jackets.
What comes to my beige top, it’s from my mother in law and I think I’ve never used it before. Beige with gold glam isn’t my favorite color in everyday looks but it for sure gave a nice twist to this more festive look, or what you guys think?
Do you prefer dark or light colors during wintertime? How is winter like in your country?

I prefer dark colors in the wintertime but I can see the appeal of wearing a white/light outfit to really pop in a sea of darkly clad folks! Winter in South Florida is kind of boring…we see a few chilly days but mostly it still feels like Summer.

I’d looove to come to South Florida right now! Even though it’s kind of cool and beautiful to have four very different seasons, it still sucks that it’s freezing out there. And thanks for the comment Beth! 😄

Haha, well light / bright colors with the baby might not be the best idea! I sometimes think it’s not a good idea with the puppy either haha. But well, we have a good washing machine saving me and my clothes haha 😂😅

Yes, the light colors are sophisticated and they also have nice positive vibes on them I think. I’m happy that I’m not the only one who just cannot go with those dark ones all winter! 😄

Beige and light colors are always something needed in your winter closet. Light colors always match with everything and can be dressed up with accessories.

Actually it depends on where in Finland you live. In south it’s 4-5 hours at its darkest but in north there is around two months without sunlight. I would probably die to depression there haha. But yeah, balcony and light clothes make the life a bit more bright in here. I’m happy to hear you like to look and my poodle friend. 😄🐩

Winter in Cali sounds my kind of winter haha. I hate the darkness and coldness of Nordic winter. And I mean, it’s nice and beautiful for a week or so but months of it is too much for me.
