Leopard scarves rock.

You are very stylish. I love how the gold wedges work with outfit #1. I have some wedges, but I always seem to wear them as an afterthought. I'll have to tie them into my outfit somehow, like you do here.</p> <p>Your winter version looks just as great. I love the leopard scarf. I wore a leopard scarf myself today too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1884617 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 15:56:49 +0000 Aurore 1884617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal</b>, thank you for your kind words!</p> <p><b>unfrumped</b>, I had the same thought! Summer is not my dominant season and I always find it difficult to create summer outfits. Preparing them sooner may help!</p> <p>Thank you for your insight,<b>&nbsp;karen13</b>! I hope you'll have fun experimenting with olive, it should be beautiful with your hair and eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1884463 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 01:27:13 +0000 karen13 1884463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the gold sandals picking up the lighter olive jacket in #1. You are set for spring with this one. And it works really well for winter with the boots and bag. I have absolutely no olive in my closet - I am so enjoying everyone's interpretations I may have to add it to the list of things to experiment with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1884462 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 01:09:47 +0000 unfrumped 1884462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 2 is fabulous. You look divine in the olive and rich earthy colors.<br /> Kudos for practicing s summer outfit. This year I want to “ be prepared “ by doing more tryons and SYC to create outfits ahead of season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1884360 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:03:09 +0000 Sal 1884360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lovely looks Aurore - the colours and styles really suit you.</p> <p>Thinking of those affected by the flooding - very sad.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1884217 Tue, 30 Jan 2018 12:02:31 +0000 Aurore 1884217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Firecracker</b>!

I especially love the way you layered your necklaces in #1. The scarf and boots in #2 are great for cooler temps.

It's nice when one of Angie's ensembles nudges us to create a new outfit! I really like both versions of this outfit. The one you wore looks fabulous, with and without the coat! A very pulled-together look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883971 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 18:33:41 +0000 Aurore 1883971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Angie</b>!

I do have a pearl necklace I deeply love but seldom wear (I'm always afraid of losing or breaking&nbsp;it...), and it would be perfect with this outfit.

Or do you have a lightweight white (or patterned white) scarf you could wear in no 1? It might help you tie in the white bag more with the rest of the outfit. But I think it works. Personally I love white with olive, especially in summer. </p> <p>The winter version is lovely and rich with all the earthy brown and leopard touches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883823 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 09:08:37 +0000 Aurore 1883823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cardiff girl</b>, isn't it? It's indeed very frustrating to compose, accessorize and detail an outfit and then&nbsp;hide everything under a coat. :)&nbsp; </p> <p>Thank you <b>hgr</b> for your ideas! I have not worn the olive jumpsuit yet (I bought it on sale in the beginning of winter and it's more suitable for&nbsp;summer), but I'l definitely wear it with the golden wedges! And a hat - I'm also partial to hats, I love them! </p> <p>Thank you very much for your kind words,&nbsp;<b>jussie</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883682 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:00:07 +0000 jussie 1883682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. Well done on the necklace layering in the first outfit- beautifully done.<br /> The second and third outfits are lovely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883666 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 19:03:55 +0000 hgr 1883666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Aurore,&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Well done. &nbsp;I love it when you can take an article of clothing and wear them in multiple seasons. The dress is adorable and looks comfortable (not slouchy)as well. &nbsp;The trench coat looks great too (love the belt). &nbsp;I see you have a sharp looking olive jumpsuit in your collection. &nbsp;Have you worn it yet? &nbsp;I can't tell if it is season specific but it looks like you could wear it for a night out (maybe w scarf/blazer from picture #2) or wear it in the summer w your wedges, the white purse and a wide brimmed straw hat (I'm partial to hats in the summer). &nbsp;Whatever you decide I know it will be very nice. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883652 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 18:19:16 +0000 Cardiff girl 1883652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits!Again I m reminded how well leopard print lifts an olive outfit and I had a grimace of recognition at your frustration in putting together an outfit then having to shove a rain coat on top!Happens to me all the time!At least your rain mac is a chic trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883651 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 18:11:39 +0000 Aurore 1883651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your kind words and analysis, <b>Katerina</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883635 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 16:23:28 +0000 Katerina 1883635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great, Aurore. The styling&nbsp;of both outfits is excellent&nbsp;as well as the outdoor version. The dress and the jacket are so good together and they&nbsp;suit you beautifully. Classic, chic and cool&nbsp;combination.&nbsp;The silhouette is brilliant. I also love how you have accessorised, especially&nbsp;the first outfit.&nbsp;I echo the others - your grandmother sounds like a very cool lady. Stay safe.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883618 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 14:44:50 +0000 Aurore 1883618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Lynn</b>, and sorry for the cross-post! I have to confess I'm really proud of my grandmother - she was a very adventurous lady for her times and she has always been a great role model. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883617 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 14:44:05 +0000 Aurore 1883617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>La Pedestrienne </b>for your insight! Do you plan to try a olive-all-over as well? </p> <p><b>Bijou</b>, thank you very much for your in-depth outfit analysis. Based on your belt experience, maybe I should wait to see if that camouflage bag I imagined could count as a wardrobe hole! Did you envisioned a pink or red belt with your olive ensemble? </p> <p>Thank you very much <b>torontogirl</b>! My area is a lucky one, other parts of the country as fare more concerned by the floods. Let's hope it will be over soon - it has not rained for two days.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883616 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 14:40:59 +0000 Lynn 1883616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both great. I agree with Bijoux - your grandmother sounds like a very cool lady. Those are great boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883612 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 14:03:54 +0000 Helena 1883612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Polished and natural ... Really beautiful Aurore! Heard about the flooding in France ... Hope all is well in your area before long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883603 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 13:16:56 +0000 Bijou 1883603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a treat, you have given us both summer and winter olive outfits. I love outfit #1, it looks very summery, the white bag is a great touch to lighten things up for summer. I do know what you mean though about wanting a different bag. When I put together my olive outfit, I immediate wanted a different belt... sometimes you just make do with what you have or at other times it helps identify a wardrobe hole. For me, I will see if there are other occasions when I feel that I need a different type of belt before I rush out and buy one.</p> <p>#2 and #3 are also winners. What beautiful hair you have and your boots bookend your hair. Your bag ties in too, so everything that you put with these are sure to look good. Your coat is fab with the gloves and scarf, so whilst the olive is not evident in #3, it works really well.</p> <p>Your Grandmother sounds like a very cool lady, how nice that your boots remind you of her.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883600 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 12:36:26 +0000 LaPed 1883600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both the warm-weather and cold-weather interpretations here! You do a neutral-mix so well. The bags -- both white and cognac -- make great accents. Olive/sage has been one of my favourite combos lately too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiww---olive-and-sage#post-1883598 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 12:25:25 +0000 Aurore 1883598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was trhilled by this week's blog ensemble : olive and its cousin colors army and sage green are among my all-time favourites! <br />To put the blog tips into practice I decided to pair two of my wardrobe workhorses : a dark olive dress a sage green blazer. <br />First thing I noticed : I had never thought of wearing them together. Why? No clue.&nbsp;</p> <p>For <b>Outfit #1</b>, I added my only metallic shoes - gold summer wedges. I accessorized in a more maximal way than I'm used to : layered necklaces with white stones, gold stud earrings and a chunky heritage gold bracelet. I added a white bag to finish the outfit, and realised I would have loved a sand camouflage bag with gold hardware instead (but I don't have one). </p> <p>I really liked this outfit, but won't be able to wear it before summer comes.</p> <p><b>Outfit #2</b> is more pragmatic for today - a day of running errands in town. There is a flood alert in our region, and although the floods are minimal in my town, tall country boots seemed to have the best style/practicality ratio. I added a leopard scarf and a brown bag for a more "adventurer" feel (my country boots look like my grandmother's vintage bush boots and always make me think of the bold traveller she was).</p> <p><b>Outfit #3 </b>is how outfit #2 actually looked like when I got out of the house. I needed a coat and gloves, and sadly no more olive was on sight. *Sigh. </p> <p>Even if my final outfit did not feel much "olive all-over", I greatly enjoyed the process and the blog article and the associated threads from other members sparkled some good ideas! Thank you all! I'm really enjoying my time here on YLF and I am eager to read your insights, tips and comments. </p>
