There is hope, because the style is always popular. My coat was bought 5 years ago and 2 years ago they released it in navy. My hope is next year they will do black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens/page/2#post-2273228 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 20:11:19 +0000 gryffin 2273228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - really beautiful pieces!&nbsp; You have such a magical wardrobe.&nbsp; Of course, I will whimper with joy over your cue green frock coat.&nbsp; I keep hoping they will do the same in black.&nbsp; Even I would take my chances on sizing.&nbsp; Such wonderful and unique pieces, enjoy them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens/page/2#post-2273219 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 18:03:38 +0000 Inge 2273219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules, best comment yet!!-) (and such beautiful pieces, I love them!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273216 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 17:14:00 +0000 Jules 2273216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well since you asked… lol<br /> I do wear chartreuse, mostly in patterns these days, and kale, olive etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273179 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 13:23:09 +0000 Inge 2273179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>This thread is my happy place!-) Such a fantastic collection of greens indeed, thanks for starting this thread, Bijou!</div><div><br /></div><div>Kathie - We are EF jacket twins :-)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Here are mine:<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273170 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 12:15:47 +0000 Anonymous 2273170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I consider teal to be blue, not green, so I'm not including those, but here's my current collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273164 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 12:00:59 +0000 Aquamarine 2273164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun thread! Off the top of my head, &nbsp;I have four green items…an apple green patent leather clutch, a spring green Nano Puff (“sedge green”, I think),a teal Boden sweater, and an olive green military vest. &nbsp;I’d be open to more, especially forest green. Years ago I had a forest green wool swing coat and it was so versatile…I just loved it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273149 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 08:55:45 +0000 Bijou 2273149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - so many gorgeous green items and so varied - some people have a favourite colour and others go across a spectrum of greens! Apologies, I can't respond to you all, but love to see what you have in your closet.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn and Nemosmom</b> - you are our Green Queens! I love how the items you have suit your colouring so well.</p> <p><b>Janet </b>- it is no surprise that teal features prominently in your wardrobe, it is beautiful on you.</p> <p><b>LJP</b> - I hope olive will feature in your favourite colour palette, you look stunning in it. I could see you wearing colours similar to Brooklyn and may need to raid her gorgeous wardrobe!</p> <p><b>ChewySpagetti, Bonnie and Style Fan</b> - you have the best collections of olive pieces, which is a great neutral and works with almost every colour.</p> <p>I had to laugh at the love for my dressing gown. I pop it on every night and in the mornings before my shower. Margot (my dog) loves to sit on my lap when I am wearing it as it is soft and warm. I bought it last year as a bit of a splurge because I had a stay in hospital and wanted a nice dressing gown. Now I would not be without one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273144 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 05:35:58 +0000 Brooklyn 2273144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, what a gorgeous collection of greens. Bijou, you can send me your velvet coat when you are done :)</p> <p>I’ve just realised green is the most dominant shade in my wardrobe, next to black. My blues lean green (teal). My browns and golds lean green. A lot of my patterns include green. I’ll just include a sample selection or I will crash the forum </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273141 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 05:16:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2273141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, I love your green shoes—the first pair and the last. Have been thinking I want green shoes for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273129 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 02:20:53 +0000 Janet 2273129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! I haven’t worn them in over 2.5 years, so I’m not sure how I’d handle them if the occasion ever comes back up! At this point they’re probably valet shoes, and I have at least four pairs of those, waiting to see if we ever go out dressed up again. I should probably let go of the higher heels and keep an eye out for a new style that is more versatile and walkable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273126 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 01:43:56 +0000 LJP 2273126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - I bought those same Nine West forest green suede boots the same year you did - and passed them on ages ago . How can you walk in those heels ?? I could not manage them at all after the first year I had them . Sigh . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273125 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 01:42:34 +0000 LJP 2273125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These collections are outstanding ! And Bijou - what a wardrobe you have ! My closet pales in comparison - no pun intended - I just don’t have the clothes I once did and am working to tighten up my colour palette even further . But anyways - this is all so beautifully inspiring . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273123 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 00:53:14 +0000 Janet 2273123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What gorgeous collections! It's really lovely to scroll down this thread. I will have to come back to enjoy it more thoroughly. I'm taking a break from frantically getting ready for a workshop next week, since I start driving tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's some of my green collection. I think I need more of it -- most of my green is in a print, or gear, or old items that could probably stand to be updated. Obviously teal and sage are my prefered shades, but I'd really like more forest and emerald. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273122 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 00:37:49 +0000 Sal 2273122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My green pieces are a bit fragmented and in a mix of shades and styles that don't work together in a cohesive way.&nbsp; I tend to wear both blouses with either white or blue denim, and the bag (gifted) I find hard to wear except with navy.</p> <p>The mint green top always garners compliments but it is not my favourite, but it is useful for really hot days.</p> <p>It's fun to see everyone else's greens - very inspirational!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273121 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 00:34:31 +0000 nemosmom 2273121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh your greens are stunning, Bijou! Mint doesn’t do me any favors, but I do like it. I also have teal, olive, grass, kelly, forest… greenish bronze, greenish gold… it’s like the Bubba Gump shrimp of my closet ;)</p> <p>Here are some faves: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273117 Thu, 21 Jul 2022 00:15:54 +0000 Angie 2273117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW to everyone's green items!! GORGEOUS, and varied :)</p> <p>Here's my very small stash. Leaving out my chartreuse items because they are more yellow than green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273100 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 23:11:43 +0000 DonnaF 2273100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wear as many greens as I would like and haven't found *my* green jeans. I wasn't able to create a Find before my BP forest green turtleneck sold out, and my forest green patent oxfords Find looks black for some odd reason. I have no idea why I seem to have some type of fixation with green footwear. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273092 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 22:32:16 +0000 Anonymous 2273092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving all the green!</p> <p>I don’t have a lot of finds but I am adding some as I make purchases </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273079 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 21:08:20 +0000 Style Fan 2273079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are so many gorgeous green pieces in forum members' wardrobes.<br />Most of my green pieces are olive.&nbsp; The Sarah Pacini sweater and tee are olive, but the finds are gray and camel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273052 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 18:28:34 +0000 Minaminu 2273052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have many pieces in green but I really enjoy the ones that I have for the warm weather - a midi dress with some lovely pattern and a wide cotton trousers with some green/teal in the pattern. I may introduce some green for the cold weather, your velvet jacket and Kathy's knitwear dress are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273042 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 17:24:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2273042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was hoping to get better pix next time I wear this outfit, but here are my new crop top and bike shorts in action. The bike lock around my waist is a real distraction, but I enjoyed the outfit—even in Berlin, I can prefer a bit of modesty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273032 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 16:53:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2273032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Bijou, that coat is so gorgeous! And your dressing gown makes me swoon. If it were mine, I can imagine I would have a hard time getting dressed for the day. . . I would just want to keep it on!</div><div><br /></div><div>This is a fun exercise: just seeing what green items I have in my Finds. I am not good about adding Finds for my wardrobe, especially those I make, so this is by no means comprehensive. I have short-sleeved t-shirts that match the long mint and long olive Caslon cardigans. And an olive belt. A teal dress that I made. A long reversible teal raincoat that I made (reverses to black). And probably several other things!<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273024 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 15:43:17 +0000 cat2 2273024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot of green right now, as army green, forest green and leaf green have each made an appearance at retail. I have not added anything this year, though, with the shift to light colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273022 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 15:20:46 +0000 Lana 2273022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is so much fun! If you count teal I have a lot but it’s on the blue side so I didn’t include it. I just started adding green this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273013 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:42:52 +0000 Bonnie 2273013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like green and wear it often. My favorite green is probably olive but I've tried other greens, too. It goes well with the black, blues, and whites that I usually wear.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273008 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:18:42 +0000 Kathie 2273008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love all your greens!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are mine. The EF jacket was my first foray into green after years of not wearing it. The jacket also came in a pale blue, and I was certain that's the color I should get, but thanks to a great sales associate at Nordy's, I got the green, which really was a better color on me. I've had it for 5+ years, and still get compliments on it.</div><br />From there, I added the two forest green dresses, and the summer linen dress in olive, Birks in teal, and lime green top. The lime green is a bit jarring with my coloring, but I love wearing it for casual/loungewear. The cropped pants are a very recent addition, and much more green than they appear in the photo.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2273004 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 14:03:21 +0000 BlueJay 2273004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! You do have lots of greens Bijou!! So interesting to do this as I have more green than I thought too! The mint looks so lovely, and suits you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer bright emerald greens, teals, forest green and olive green. Out of all the items below, I wear the simple forest green long sleeve top from Old Navy the most. I think because it's simple, goes with everything, and isn't too warm or cold!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2272994 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 13:46:20 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2272994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have finds, but I am adding the photos that I have in my wardrobe app. I have a couple pieces of Forest, but pretty much everything else is Olive Green because it's my favorite color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-greens#post-2272990 Wed, 20 Jul 2022 13:28:43 +0000 Helena 2272990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful Bijou! Can't pick a favourite - love every piece for different reasons! My greens are far less interesting, but there you go, as my kids say, I'm basic *shrugs* </p>
