Thank you.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - so glad this outfit lived up to the moniker - it is fun to see if I can create outfits that are pretty yet retaining an element of strength.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kim M </b>- Angie is the ultimate at adding pops of colour in new and exciting ways. I love her citron bag with olive too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Aurore</b> - it is fun to try new colour combinations. For me, it can be a bit hit and miss, so I am glad this one worked.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>La Ped</b> - I had read somewhere that olive works with most colours because in nature we have olive with all sorts of flowers. Very pleased that you liked this.</p> <p><b>kkards</b> - Thank you. Is olive a colour that you like to wear? I would imagine that it would be great with your colouring and style.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn </b>- yes Dinosaur Designs is a bit of a blast from the past, my necklace is about 8 years old. I wear it from time to time... So glad that others struggle with the selfie thing, I feel totally foolish taking pictures of myself in front of the mirror - sort of takes me back to being 13 years old and incredibly self conscious.</p> <p><b>Katerina</b> - I do like to wear bright lipstick! This lipstick is a touch more violet than what is showing through on the photo.</p> <p><b>Dianna</b> - I am glad that this is a favourite. I will definitely have to wear it again.</p> <p><b>Joy </b>- looking forward to seeing your olive outfits. You have a brilliant selection of olive clothing to play with.</p> <p><b>Shevia</b> - well the bag is new, so I seem to be wearing it with everything at the moment. So glad that I am not the only one with the selfie issues.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883549 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 03:19:29 +0000 Jaime 1883549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote of appreciation for the unexpected lilac bag - you look lovely. If anyone can explain the secret of the selfie I will be all ears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883545 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 03:13:56 +0000 Anonymous 1883545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for your outfit and this color combination.

I love the pairing of olive with fucshia and lilac. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883514 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 22:39:51 +0000 Katerina 1883514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful outfit! You look gorgeous. The colour combination olive - fuchsia/lilac is amazing. Beautiful lipstick on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883504 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 22:13:35 +0000 Brooklyn 1883504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely! The unexpected colour mix - red and lilac - is terrific. Love the necklace. I have a few bangles from dinosaur designs. Must go check on them now...</p> <p>I struggle with the selfie thing too. You either have to block your face or block your chest or attempt an aerial shot with arm held awkwardly above head. It’s impossible </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883480 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 20:17:47 +0000 kkards 1883480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the lavender with the olive.

LOVE the unexpected addition of the lilac. Fresh and in trend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883362 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 14:19:06 +0000 Suz 1883362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is inspired! The olive is so gorgeous on you -- and pairing with lilac and fuchsia is perfection. It feminizes the look just enough for beautiful you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883345 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 14:07:00 +0000 tanstaafl 1883345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you used the lilac and fuschia with the olive. It’s an unexpected color mix that turned out great. And this outfit also seems very versatile bridging that line between business and casual so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883333 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 13:52:56 +0000 Helena 1883333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That red lippie is perfect on you. Love the pop of pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883331 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 13:51:26 +0000 Bijou 1883331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jussie </b>- I need the pops of bright colour, because otherwise it just does not feel like me. My shoes are so comfortable, I seem to be wearing them a lot this summer.</p> <p><b>Mainelady</b> - Olive always felt a bit flat for me, so I think I need bright accents to enjoy it.</p> <p><b>Ummlila</b> - the necklace is actually a fuchsia pink (although in the photo it looks more red), so it is not quite as bold colour mixing as lilac and red. The lilac bag is actually me being a bit lazy and not changing up my bag from yesterday, but I thought it sort of worked and wanted to inject some colour.</p> <p><b>Krishnidoux</b> - you are a super star, thank you so much on the lesson of taking a selfie.</p> <p><b>Anne </b>- thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883305 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 13:07:13 +0000 anne 1883305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look bijou! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883301 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 12:52:23 +0000 krishnidoux 1883301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How well the olive compliments your blonde hair! Your outfit is a 10 on 10. Genius idea to combine red necklace and red lips.&nbsp; The shape is very flattering too. To my eye, the pink handbag surprised me, but I am trying it with the red accessories and it makes more sense. This necklace, with the army/olive green... so inspiring! Your open toe bootie not only bookends your hair, but also relaxes an otherwise classic outfit's without taking away from its coolness. The result: you look approachable, fun, out and about. I adore.&nbsp;</p> <p>I struggle with mirror selfies too. I found that holding the camera with one hand upside down (so the button is at an easier sport for clicking with one finger while others hold the phone) allows me to take pics with the phone away from my body. I was also instructed to remove the casing before pics, as it helps the camera with picture definition. This also makes it easier to hold in one hand. Do start atop a little rug though, if you are like me and tend to drop things.&nbsp;<br />(I join a picture of a one hand upside down phone mirror selfie to show you what I mean. You'll notice I didn't follow my advice and kept the case though...).<br />I'll be on the lookout for more advice from other commenters!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883295 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 12:12:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1883295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a perfect interpretation of the tonal olive. Adding the red <i>and</i> the lilac accents is inspired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883294 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 12:10:04 +0000 Mainelady 1883294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! The bright necklace, bag and metallic shoes are perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883280 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 11:32:52 +0000 jussie 1883280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice work. I love the pops of bright colour :), and those metallic shoes are divine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---summer-olive-all-over#post-1883272 Sat, 27 Jan 2018 11:08:31 +0000 Bijou 1883272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I thought I would wear Angie's ensemble and it is quite a change from my usual colour palette. This shirt and skirt are my only solid olive items and I had not thought of wearing them together.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do find it hard to take selfies and I am concentrating very hard in the first photo, and try as I might, I just could not get the necklace in.&nbsp;I really wanted you to see the necklace, as it sort of works with my bag and bright lipstick, hence the close up photo of my face. Apologies for the poor quality of the photos, but I am sure you get the general idea of this outfit.</p> <p>My shoes are metallic, so I have most of the elements from Angie's ensemble.</p> <p>Shirt - silk olive shirt from Witchery (bought last year)<br /> Skirt - Sportscraft (old)<br /> Shoes - Topend booties<br /> Cognac belt - Jigsaw (old)<br />Fuchsia Pink Necklace - Dinosaur designs (old)<br /> Lilac bag - Kate Spade (new)!</p> <p>I really enjoyed wearing this ensemble and it was great for my Saturday, which required me to go into the office to work for the morning, have lunch with my boys, go shopping with my husband and catch up with friends in the late afternoon. I will wear this again as it will work beautifully for a Friday corporate casual look. Thank you Angie for the inspiration! </p>
