I love the clear kelly green of your coat. I wear different shades, but my favourite is emerald green. I have chocolate diamond ear-studs too, that despite the name, are more greenish than brown.<br /> I really like how you have decorated your home. We have just gone for bright yellow walls and your pictures are inspiring in terms of the accessories/accent colours we could add. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1605614 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 14:32:13 +0000 Ooh is that silk 1605614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just chiming in with everyone else to say that your kelly green coat in #4 looks as though it was designed for you, so glad you made it your avatar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1605420 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 23:40:53 +0000 Sheila 1605420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylefan - my mother dressed me in kelly green a little but as I grew up people told me that I was an 'Autumn' so of course I should be wearing olive green. Well...olive just sucks the life out of me! But kelly, chartreuse, and cleaner greens make me smile. So that is what I have decided to wear, at least close to my face. I have an olive pair of casual pants that I wear, usually with navy or blue.</p> <p>Sheila - your dress sounds wonderful! I would love to see it when you are wearing it...or even just on a hanger. I just ordered a kelly green linen dress from Nordstrom Rack and am eager to see if the color is saturated enough for my taste. Sometimes online colors of green turn out too minty for me.</p> <p>Windchime - thank you for your compliments! I would love to see your home and learn about your paint colors. PM me if you wish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1605163 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 13:32:17 +0000 Windchime 1605163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat to see these pics of you and the color green! In both your outfits and your home, you use it to create a warm, artistic aesthetic. And it looks fabulous on you!</p> <p>I love green, too, and it's well represented in my interior paint colors. That helps gets me through winter, when I don't get to see it outdoors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1605149 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 12:24:28 +0000 Sheila 1605149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheila.... LOVED your pictures ! I love green as well and am looking at getting a bright green dress made for me for a formal event in April. I am so excited about it. </p> <p>Love your coat, bar stools, hoodie, beads etc... Wow !</p> <p>I have pale green eyes and used to wear olive when I was younger but now I am loving the clear bright greens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1605126 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:14:19 +0000 Style Fan 1605126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love green too.&nbsp; Mostly olive green.&nbsp; Love your home.&nbsp; We have lots of green in our house.&nbsp; Love the sound of your condo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1604902 Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:14:39 +0000 Sheila 1604902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - thanks! I have been quite preoccupied with a number of things for some time now, so I race through posts as fast as I can and, sadly, do not take the time to respond. I should do better....anyway, glad you enjoyed my greens around the house. They do cheer me up, all the time!</p> <p>Olga &amp; Staysfit - Thank you ever so much for your compliments. This is the first time I have owned a condo and it took me a while to get my mind around it. We have big industrial-style windows and great views and typically the walls are painted white in this style but I really love color so decided to add it gradually. As you can see, I do love the strong colors and GREEN is my favorite (in oh so many shades). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1604484 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:50:56 +0000 Staysfit 1604484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your home makes me smile. It looks so cheerful! You are definitely Queen Green, I like the title! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1604483 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:47:08 +0000 olga 1604483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, <u>beautiful</u> apartment<br />and i love the coat in number 4</p> <p>i definitely did not see any green in shops lately </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1604475 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:23:41 +0000 Janet 1604475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheila! How nice to see you. I am not sure how I missed this thread. You wear green so well! Love that coat in #4 on you. Shades of green\ are some of my favorite colors, but I tend toward bluer, deeper greens, which go with my eyes. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Your home decor pictures made me smile. My mom loved, loved, loved green in her home, and she would have enjoyed your decorating choices.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1604399 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 18:29:42 +0000 Sheila 1604399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles - nice to hear from you! Thanks for your kind remarks regarding my homel</p> <p>Una and Sveta - yes, I would call that color Kelly Green but Land's End calls it something else...like maybe Vine Green??? I was so excited to find this color in boiled wool, as that works really well for me in the colder months here in Seattle. I adore the look and feel and warmth of it.</p> <p>ETA: 'Fresh Vine' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1604390 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 18:10:21 +0000 Sveta 1604390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look sensational in green - especislly in the shade in #4 (is it kelly green or emerald?). It is your color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens/page/2#post-1604369 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 17:17:43 +0000 catgirl 1604369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like kelly green?&nbsp; The perfect shade with red hair!&nbsp; Good to see you stopping by. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1604355 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 16:32:16 +0000 Freckles 1604355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you Sheila. &nbsp;I am also a lover of the colour green and it sure does love you.<br />Both your pics and the ones of your home are gorgeous, thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597750 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 21:42:35 +0000 Sheila 1597750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cheryl - thank you for your kind words. The beads were very inexpensive. They are made of wood and the strand is elastic! I got them in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada, a few years ago.</p> <p>The bar stools were purchased via Amazon a few years ago. They were very reasonably priced knockoffs of a high-end Italian product. I think they were made by this firm:</p> <p><a href="https://www.atgstores.com/bar-stools/flash-furniture-ch-tc3-103-plastic-adjustable-height-bar-stool_g1567590.html#aRvw" rel="nofollow">https://www.atgstores.com/bar-......html#aRvw</a></p> <p>They come in lots of colors. Of course I only wanted the green ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597702 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 19:07:08 +0000 cheryl 1597702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green is my favorite color too. You look wonderful it and I am smitten with your barstools and necklace </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597566 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 05:52:49 +0000 Sheila 1597566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen - what a wonderful article! Thank you for sharing. It mentions Jay Hunter Morris, who had to step in for the Met's production as Siegfried.<br /> We went to the live simulcasts of The Ring that year and he was amazing.</p> <p>Bonnie G - your husband's collection sounds terrific to me! The beautiful art book that I bought is called 'VERVE: The Ultimate Review of Art and Literature (1937-1960)'. It was published in 1988 by Henry N. Abrams. The author is Michel Anthonioz. If DH doesn't have this, he would probably enjoy it. Perhaps it is the book he already owns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597529 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 01:54:18 +0000 Bonnie 1597529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DH says he only has the first six issues and a couple of others plus a book published in the 80s with full size reproductions. He bought them from a used book store years ago and really enjoys them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597526 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 01:27:20 +0000 JAileen 1597526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wagner Ring Trivia: The mother of a classmate of mine passed away this summer.

I just love it!!! My husband has also seen it in San Francisco and in the 90's (I think) in Seattle, when he was stationed on a ship in Bremerton and took the ferry over for each performance -- walking all the way to the Seattle<br /> Center in his opera attire! He is an intrepid Wagner fan. We are seeing The Flying Dutchman this spring.</p> <p>MsMary - your sofa is quite similar in color to my love seats. Mine are cotton velvet, looks like yours is also. I just love your living room!!! Thanks for posting the photo.</p> <p>Bonnie G - Are you telling me that your DH has every issue of Verve?<br /> Wow, am I envious! My story started in Nice at the Matisse Museum. many years ago when I discovered a post card with the green-and-white images. I searched in vain for the original art, assuming it was in some museum and finally discovered that Matisse designed this one as a cover for Verve. Eventually I found an original Verve cover on eBay, of all places, and bought it. It is actually only half of the cover but there are images on both sides (front and back). However, there are 2 different images, as you probably know. So originally I framed an enlargement of the post card ((in the small frame) and after I acquired the Verve cover, I photocopied the reverse side and hung it next to the framed front side. So that is my story. Verve issues are $$$$$ so I will never own one but I would love to see one, especially this issue, some day. There was an exhibit in NYC a year or so ago but I could not get away to see it. (sorry for the long post) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597471 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 22:43:59 +0000 annagybe 1597471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, wait, did you see The Ring Cycle? I'm so jealous.<br />You do look great in green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597421 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 18:34:22 +0000 Dana 1597421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is stunning, and I love your home decor. I'm great with clothing, but I get overwhelmed and don't know where to start when it comes to my home.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597418 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 18:31:10 +0000 Ginkgo 1597418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in green, that color just sings on you, and I love your home, it's happy and must be a great antidote to gray Seattle weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597372 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:46:03 +0000 Bonnie 1597372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DH is very interested in art history as a hobby and he has the 30's Verve magazines and the book of Matisse prints. I've learned a bit from him through the years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597367 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:33:22 +0000 MsMary 1597367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My green sofa is waving at your green love seats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597219 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 01:33:24 +0000 Carla 1597219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have done an amazing job sourcing out greens for your wardrobe and home. I have a lovely leather bag from Fossil in hunter green, but for clothing items it is mostly olive green from this past season. During a recent closet edit I 'hemmed and hawed' but ended up keeping my granny apple green sweater. </p> <p>Keep your eyes open for green in plaids - the Black Watch tartan is fab for red heads! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597207 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 00:46:57 +0000 Sheila 1597207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you each one for your encouraging words. I don't consider myself 'fashionable' at all...I live a fairly simple life as a retired grandmother and have pretty much gotten rid of all my dressy business attire. So what you're seeing is about as 'dressed up' as I get these days!</p> <p>Bonnie G - Yes you have a good eye for art! Do you know about the publication 'Verve'? I can send you a private message about the Matisse pieces on my wall if you are interested.</p> <p>MsMary - Aha! I think I saw your vibrant green sofa when you did your amazing remodel post. Mine are love seats, for our condo is too small for normal-sized sofas. I just love them, thanks for noticing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597063 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 14:46:05 +0000 MsMary 1597063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, green loves you!</p> <p>Is that a lime green velvet sofa I spy? I have one, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1597027 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 10:32:19 +0000 Summer 1597027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in your greens, Sheila. &nbsp;I particularly like the colour mix in picture 3 and your lovely coat in 4.<br />Your home is beautiful with its touches of green. &nbsp;It looks warm, bright and welcoming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-greens#post-1596997 Wed, 30 Dec 2015 04:09:29 +0000 anne 1596997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look really good Sheila.
