WOULD YOU WEAR BLUE AND GREEN ?

 We've all heard the saying 
"Red and green should never be seen except upon an Irish Queen"
I always thought it was Fairy Queen.
Did you know about this saying 
"Blue and green should never be seen except with something in between"
What a load of bunkum, I can't see anything wrong with my outfit today.
My old blue Hotter boots (my version of the very expensive Duberry boots).
Gipsy green lace tights.www.gipsytights.com Blue & green Welsh Tapestry pinafore that I picked up in a lovely charity shop in Summertown, Oxford.  Blue Dereta crimplene coat, another vintage bargain buy. Forgot to photograph it but I used my blue Welsh wool tapestry bag as well.
Under the pinafore my old Boden shirt that cost per outing 
must be nil by now I've worn it that much.
After yesterdays trip to the garden centre with my 82 year auntie I went back today for something to cheer my own garden up. I have to give auntie my full attention when we are out or she might end up in trouble or lost haha. Love her to bits.
Robins seemed to be my thing today and a bit of winter colour.
Yes we have mirrors and old screwdrivers in our garden 
among other things
I might check out Victoria Baths, Manchester on Sunday its the Vintage Home Fair and see if anyone else is wearing blue and green.

  1. Blue and green look lovely together; especially the shades you're wearing. I don't give a hoot what colours I wear. I am coordinationally challenged, so mostly just grab what I fancy wearing,
    Glad Aunty G is still enjoying her garden and I love your wee Robins. Hope you have a lovely weekend planned :D xxx

  4. Shhh! Don't tell anyone but I like green and blue together. And the top I am knitting right now is green with blue flecks in it.
    I always thought the saying was "blue and green must not be seen except upon a fool"!

  7. I thought it was "Fairy Queen" too. Maybe as I come from Britannia (originally, then Loveclough as a child) I know the same version as you. As for blue and green together your outfit looks smart and those two colours are what I always end up with in my artwork if left to my own devices. Well at least I veer towards them.

  8. to complicate matters further, in Liverpool, it was "red and green" not blue, in the rhyme.
    We said,
    "red and green should never be seen,
    without a colour in between" No queens or fairies involved! It's all local folklore just the same !
    Your outfit looks fab anyway!

  9. Well, they're adjacent on the color wheel, and there are similar tones in all the blues and greens you chose, so phooey on anyone who would look askance. You look FINE, lady! I especially covet those tights. You look lovely and are truly a master of pattern mixing!

    Congrats! It tells that blue plus green is still a hot topic, or again? Who knows. As a kid, I was not allowed to wear blue and green together, but it is so chic and I thought that as kid too. LOL.
