Patent leather is so alien to me, as I grew up in a casual hippie town. I've always wanted to try it. I also like your idea of studying color combos.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319661 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 22:18:40 +0000 Suz 2319661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh -- love those green kick crops!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also really like #6 on. you.

I’ve always been a fan of emerald green paired with black.<br /> I also love the cobalt jacket with the blue trousers, an interesting and bold combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319522 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 03:41:37 +0000 Jaime 2319522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! Especially eyeballing #6 - I have read peplums are coming back and I am here for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319432 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 19:51:32 +0000 Anonymous 2319432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 4 and 7 most! I did a similar version of 4 with a dark olive midi, black sleeveless blouse, and black sandals this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319428 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 19:31:24 +0000 BlueJay 2319428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of green to love here, Tanya! I really like the skirt and Ann Taylor green pants, but that's probably because they're one of my favourite shades! I like #6 the best because of the peplum!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319387 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 14:23:08 +0000 Tanya 2319387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate all the comments, thank you.</p> <p>Angie, I remember Polyvore.&nbsp; Agreed that it wasn't easy to use.&nbsp; However, it enabled Ensemble and Capsule posts, which were amazing,</p> <p>Brooklyn, as evident, I have some greens, but I don't tend to reach for them naturally unless something prompts me.&nbsp; I tend to gravitate towards blues, purples and berries/pinks when it comes to non-neutrals.</p> <p>Bijou, thank you very much!&nbsp; The greens are all on the older side, I just tend to forget to wear them.</p> <p>Jenni, agreed that #4 is the most dressy. Yes, the bag/shoes combo was planned.&nbsp; The bag is very useful in the summer when I want to wear wear black shoes, and feel that solid black matching bag would be too dark.&nbsp; That little white makes a lot of difference for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319366 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 08:21:07 +0000 Jenni NZ 2319366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I’m really predictable in liking pic 4 the best- the most dressy I suppose. I’m very keen on the green pleated skirt with the gorgeous dressy pumps, and also particularly like how the black trim on the bag seems to echo the T-straps on the pumps? I suppose you planned that?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319365 Sat, 22 Apr 2023 07:27:04 +0000 Bijou 2319365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - so much to love here!

My favourite here is no 6, because I think it’s the most fashiony. But you look fab in all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319137 Thu, 20 Apr 2023 17:11:07 +0000 Angie 2319137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish Polyvore was available too! - although the WORST APPLICATION TO USE </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2319084 Thu, 20 Apr 2023 11:55:21 +0000 Tanya 2319084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input!</p> <p>RobinF, I like to "round up" my look with bags and other accessories whenever possible, but sometimes I forget, too.</p> <p>Claire C, I am a big fan of pleated midis as well.</p> <p>Angie, you are very kind.&nbsp; The green AT kick flares and pleated skirt were bought 5 years ago, inspired by one of the last Ensemble posts on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/03/23/ensemble-cool-spring-emerald/">Cool Spring Emerald</a>.&nbsp; &nbsp;I still miss those posts dearly.</p> <p>Cat2, defined waist is something I very much enjoy wearing.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2318915 Wed, 19 Apr 2023 14:52:09 +0000 cat2 2318915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #4, that nipped in waist looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2318911 Wed, 19 Apr 2023 14:26:58 +0000 Angie 2318911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA:&nbsp;</p> <p>I have those boots in white and taupe.

I'm a sucker for a pleated skirt and any combinations of green and pink or orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2318896 Wed, 19 Apr 2023 12:31:40 +0000 RobinF 2318896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh nice! My favorite is 5-6 with the cute jacket. I like how you think about the bag in the overall look. I tend to forget about it until I am running out the door.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-simple-greens#post-2318895 Wed, 19 Apr 2023 12:18:04 +0000 Tanya 2318895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are several outfits for various casual activities over the past 10-ish days, playing with some greens.&nbsp; As you can see, the spring weather has been very variable, needing everything from a light wool coat to a t-shirt.</p> <p>The first three formulas are represented, some with looser interpretations.&nbsp; I tried to put together a version of the 4th, too (mixed bright greens), but nothing from my closet worked to my eye, so no such outfit.</p> <p>The first formula, Green with Black and White, has been the easiest to do, hence there are three such outfits.<br />1) The first outfit (#1-2) was worn on chilly morning trip to the dentist, and it consists of green sweater, black &amp;white checked cotton pants with fun black side stripe, black patent booties, mixed media coat and b &amp; w crossbody.<br />2) For a more moderate temperatures, the next outfit is (#3) green crop kick flare pants, with black smocked blouse, and long black vest as a topper, dressed down with white sneakers and same b &amp; w crossbody.<br />3) For a warm day (#4), the outfit was green pleated midi skirt with black wrap tee, black t-strap shoes and pearl grey crossbody.</p> <p>4) I took some liberty with the "Sporty Pastel" formula (#5-6).&nbsp; While the essence is the same: black top, jeans, white sneakers and casual green topper,&nbsp; my topper is a short olive peplum utility jacket instead of long pastel anorak, and my outfit proportions are short over wide instead of long over lean.</p> <p>5) Finally, my version of "Earthy Sage" is "Blushing Sage" (#7), as tans and oatmeals are not something I can pull off.&nbsp; The outfit consists of sage twinset and blush barrel-lite jeans, finished with blushy-taupe loafers and cross-body.</p> <p> </p>
