I love this green on you, <b>Sal</b>! FUN additions!&nbsp;</p> <p>The green shoes look smashing with the green top!</p> <p>I love the KILLER green complement with the green patterned pants and the earthy slip skirt. My faves!&nbsp;</p> <p>Try the green shoes with some other dresses and skirts - that don't necessarily have green in them - as<b> Brooklyn</b> suggests.&nbsp;</p> <p>The bag is supper pretty! Make sure the silhouette works for you before committing.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364219 Fri, 05 Jul 2024 15:20:28 +0000 Jenny H 2364219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these bright green looks so much! Thanks for the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364171 Thu, 04 Jul 2024 19:48:08 +0000 Sal 2364171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks BlueJay and Mary Beth. </p> <p>Yes the green is a good colour on me - I am trying to add colours in my spring palette more deliberately moving forward.</p> <p>I do wear a gold pendant always - I should wear earrings more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364088 Wed, 03 Jul 2024 13:30:25 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2364088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a little late to this conversation...</p> <p>Sal, you are <u>glorious</u> in these greens and complementary colors!&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>-<i>"My goal is to look bold breezy and elegant - but in the suit also confident and professional."&nbsp; &nbsp;</i>You nailed it!&nbsp; </p> <p>I can't stop looking at the 2nd outfit in photo #1.&nbsp; Hands down, this is my favorite.&nbsp; &nbsp;I think you might incorporate some small pop of gold into your work looks, with a gold necklace or discreet earrings.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>Your cream bag seems to complement your watch quite nicely, so that's the makings of a very nice neutral accessory set, to pair with other things in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364078 Wed, 03 Jul 2024 12:26:02 +0000 BlueJay 2364078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely green, Sal! I have a similar bright green sweater and I receive many compliments when I wear it, and I'm sure you will too. I like it with your suits and the patterned skirt, and the slip skirt is elegant and unexpected. The shoes are great too. The bag looks to be a good size and a great colour - two things IMO are challenging to find together in one bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364047 Wed, 03 Jul 2024 02:31:40 +0000 Sal 2364047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Chris!</p> <p>I am enjoying wearing this colour again.&nbsp; I love it with denim, navy and white - but I will wear with black at times too.&nbsp; Other possibilities are the right pinks and purples - maybe..........&nbsp;</p> <p>I used to wear this colour with a camel/beige about ten years ago which is also a nice combo - can also imagine it with the right grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364011 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 19:59:26 +0000 Chris987 2364011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! Great color for you and you chose a couple of great items to add this color to your wardrobe. I was in a Banana Republic store today (not sure they have a presence in NZ)&nbsp; and they had quite a but of stuff in a similar, maybe just a bit darker green. I don't&nbsp; see much of it on their website but it makes me think maybe greens like this will be trending for my fall (your spring). It's a color I could see wearing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364007 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 19:51:00 +0000 Sal 2364007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these shoes will get a good amount of wear - especially as it warms up a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2364003 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 19:34:48 +0000 Laurie 2364003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun shoes, and they will inspire outfits!</p> <p>The neutral bone/cream bag is bound to be versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363961 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 03:32:09 +0000 Carla 2363961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I just <b>adore&nbsp;</b>those shoes, and think you will find lots of opportunities to wear them. &nbsp;Even with outfits that don’t have any green at all. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>FWIW, these days I won’t even consider a bag that doesn’t have a wide strap (or can’t be converted to one). &nbsp;The comfort level for over-the- shoulder or in-the-hand is just so much higher.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363960 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 02:23:56 +0000 Sal 2363960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Madeline, Slim Cat and Jaime!!</p> <p>My only other bright shoes are these two heels - which I love - but don't wear so much because they are heels...</p> <p>The snakeskin boots are a statement too.&nbsp; I love them but they are a bit difficult to get on and off.....&nbsp; My foot is improving a bit so I should try again.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363952 Tue, 02 Jul 2024 00:45:51 +0000 Jaime 2363952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color on you and I like all the pieces. I think a bright shoe is sometimes just what one needs when the outfit is good but lacking interest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363934 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:32:31 +0000 slim cat 2363934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty color on you - fab new additions! I agree on shoes with some pop color - I have red sandals with almost nothing in red in my wardrobe ( a bracelet with some red/navy/white mix ).&nbsp;<br />Love the printed pants with new top and navy suit with white bag - joyful color combos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363933 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:26:12 +0000 madeline 2363933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green is a great color on you!<br /> Love the printed pants with the green top. You have achieved your style words. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363932 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:00:23 +0000 Sal 2363932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - i appreciate the feedback. Sorry I am off to work soon and on my phone.</p> <p>I am keeping the shoes although I know they won’t be my most versatile pair. I have enough black navy and denim that they will work with - and I think they are classic enough in style to have some longevity. Most of my shoes are neutrals so a pop of colour is useful. I likely won’t wear them as much over winter but with hosiery they would work on indoor work days.</p> <p>I have this linen shirt which is the same green - it’s a warm weather option but will be nice with the shoes and denim or shorts.</p> <p>I do have some green tango style sandals that I love - and plan to keep - but they don’t get a lot of wear as they are heeled.</p> <p>The bag I will consider more carefully. I like it but I need to decide if I love it.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363928 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 16:52:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2363928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I haven't read all the comments. But wow, you achieved all the goals with this new pair of green pieces and the bone bag. Bold, breezy, elegant, professional and confident! I like the all-green with the patterned pants! And I can also envision gold sandals or a neutral top swapped out, as you suggest. Great options. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Okay, now back to read the rest. ;)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363921 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 16:18:02 +0000 Suz 2363921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all! I am sorry you were feeling tired for the photos, but the combos look great. The green is fab on you and looks amazing with the pants, the suit, and the jeans. I think it works with the slip skirt, too, though I might like something else (besides your hair) that is a similar colour in the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would definitely wear the green with the patterned pants and the green shoes. Why not? Obviously, not for a formal meeting, but for a party at home, a night out with friends, a dinner out? Why not?&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the shoes: did you not at one time have a pair of green retro shoes that you wore quite a lot? I may be misremembering. But if I"m right, then, these seem like a terrific update of those shoes. They have a retro vibe, but the closed toe and lower heel and crossover strap makes them more modern and versatile.&nbsp;</p> <p>I take <b>Brooklyn'</b>s point about green being (perhaps?) insistent. But if you like a "pop of colour" one bright on its own or combined with other brights works exceptionally well. Like my new orange sandals. I do have a few items that repeat orange tones, but I am wearing them also in outfits with no other orange or brights -- just neutrals or denim and neutrals.&nbsp;</p> <p>The bag is gorgeous. I agree with <b>Brooklyn </b>that a bag needs to feel just right to the wearer and that is so personal it is hard to judge on looks alone, but if looks are important, I think this is a great cross-seasonal neutral.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear what <b>Jules</b> is saying about the shoulder strap being wider, but this is presumably what makes it comfortable. I have a big hobo bag with a wide strap like that and wear it on the shoulder. Never hand held. Maybe it's a bit much, but it is super useful.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363920 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 16:11:01 +0000 JAileen 2363920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This color looks wonderful on you. &nbsp;I love it with the shoes. &nbsp;I do not think the patterned pants, sweater and shoes are too much at all. &nbsp;Once I did an outfit with four stars - patterned pants, patterned sweater, patterned shoes, and patterned bag. &nbsp;I thought it worked because the color scheme was tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363916 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 15:46:15 +0000 Helena 2363916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I love this Sal! You've nailed your style words. I especially love with the earth toned slip skirt; the combination looks unexpected and very modern-chic to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363907 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:20:13 +0000 Jules 2363907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And PS I love the patterned pants outfit! It’s maximal but everything works together. I might not wear it 10x but would definitely give it a go for dinner out with friends or something similar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363905 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:16:46 +0000 Jules 2363905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both the green pieces and think they fit seamlessly with your existing pieces. I realize these are just try ons but would love to see the jacket sleeves rolled higher especially if it shows off that houndstooth lining.<br /> I like the bag and understand the slouchy criteria, but I think it looks just a bit off as a shoulder bag, the strap is too thick and it’s not adding anything to these particular outfits. I think it’s probably better hand held. This is very nit picky and you probably don’t spend a ton of time posing with your purse so it’s really more a matter of practicality! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363902 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 12:24:05 +0000 Brooklyn 2363902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this colour on you.</p> <p>The top is great and looks like a versatile piece. I really like it with the patterned pants, with navy and with jeans. </p> <p>The shoes give me pause. They are pretty but I wonder if the colour is versatile enough for your wardrobe. Have you tried them with outfits that don’t repeat the green? Did you like that? If not, do you have enough green to make them work? Do you have a green bag for instance (that would create an instant complement)?</p> <p>I vote keep the bag if you love it or if it fills an identified gap in terms of completing outfits. I feel that a bag should be a strong emotional purchase, but that’s me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363900 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 12:06:09 +0000 Janet 2363900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a great color and looks terrific on you! It pairs so well with the navy too. Great find on the shoes and bag as well — I think you’ve got some great keepers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363899 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 11:50:52 +0000 Olive Green 2363899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crushing on the shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363895 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 11:27:17 +0000 kkards 2363895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color is fab on you. &nbsp;And perfect with the green shoes! Everything thing here works, love the suit with the green top and shoes, it’s polished but with a pop of fun, tailored and elegant but approachable and comfortable&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363890 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 10:38:40 +0000 cat2 2363890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun color addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363889 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 10:37:53 +0000 Dee 2363889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these items look terrific Sal, that green top is such a fantastic addition to your wardrobe. Love it in all your combinations. I don't think the shoes are even too much green with the patterned pants. Nice slouchy bag too, considering getting something like it myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363888 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 10:24:50 +0000 Star (Lise) 2363888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab Sal!&nbsp; This top works so well with everything shown here.&nbsp; I think gold sandals will be perfect with the patterned pants, but the green shoes look good too, so nice to have options depending on your mood.&nbsp; The bag will be a workhorse IMO.&nbsp; I love kelly green too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363885 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 09:51:08 +0000 Sisi 2363885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in green! I think you have reached your goal of looking breezy and elegant. I like the professional yet unexpected look of the navy suit worn with something different from the usual white shirt. I also like very much the outfit with the patterned pants - if you think it's too much green, I think golden sandals woul look good. I like how the pendant recalls the golden/yellow of the pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-labs-bright-greens#post-2363882 Mon, 01 Jul 2024 08:48:07 +0000 Sal 2363882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, </p> <p>I purchased these new pieces and have attempted some potential looks. It is mid winter and now night time so I have included a photo in better light for a true colour reference.</p> <p>1). Best photo of the colour of the cashmere knit - worn for work. I looked so tired in this photo I covered my face. The other one is a try on with my green Alemais pants. I think I would wear gold sandals here or maybe white - or the sandals with a neutral top. The green top, pants and shoes is maybe a bit too much for me- but maybe not!!</p> <p>2) Late night try ons with my navy suit and with a slip skirt. Also my potential new bag. I like the suit combo and I think the skirt works too.</p> <p>3) new top -keeping this. It’s such a fun colour and a good piece for my climate. </p> <p>4) I think the shoes are worth keeping too - I will also wear them with jeans and black tailored pants for work as well. </p> <p>5) I like the bag- it is called bone but it reads quite cream. Gold hardware and slouchy which are two pluses for me. I need to check the cream works with some other pieces too.</p> <p>Whilst Kelly green was very big in 2022/2023 I didn’t indulge - but I have always loved this colour. </p> <p>Any thoughts or comments- my goal is to look bold breezy and elegant - but in the suit also confident and professional.</p> <p>Thank you in advance. </p>
