... at ALL THE GREEN there is around. Yup, I have a green feeling this A/W. All shades Although admittedly, it's less the khaki that's floating my boat, I'm leaning towards the emerald, the teal and the bottle.
And I think - the trick to giving green a whole new lease of life, is to team it with other colours, you may not typically associate with green.
So red is an obvious one (thank you Gucci). But how about pink? Turquoise? All shades of blue in fact. Even lilac. Alternatively put all the greens together as an outfit. I did this last year with red - head to foot - and loved it. Loved it and this year, it's going to be green that's my colour of choice.
I'm not going to lie - there is one outfit in particular that has made me come over all green. I cannot stop thinking about this jumper. Mainly because it would go with this skirt which is also on my mind waaaay too much.
Dainty polka dot print wrap skirt from Ganni £170 I have this skirt in the leopard and simply love it.
BUT- teamed with this jumper.
Juillard mohair and wool-blend jumper from Ganni £370
However - I copped a feel of this in Selfridges last week and holy hell - it was like wire wool. I didn't try it on but oh my lord it felt SO itchy. Now maybe it's just a sublime piece of heaven when you do try it on (I didn't as I really didn't want to fall in love with it...) but it made me think - surely for that price we can find something a LOT more purse friendly.
The nearest I can find is this from TKMAxx.

ReplyDeleteI've never ventured back there but I am loving the chunky knit v'neck from Mango ;-)
So was mine! Bottle Green, apple green and red. Boak. BUT I've come round to love it!
DeleteI have ganni jumpers and they really are soft and lovely to wear. I have the striped one brand new with tags if anybody wants to buy at a much reduced price.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!
DeleteHave you seen the whistles green leopard skirt? Green and leopard, what's not to love?
ReplyDeleteOff to have a look although Whistles can be a dodge length on me.
