Green and gold WIW

LaPed

Just a quick shot of today's outfit. Finally light enough in the morning to take a photo on the way out the door! Hunter green Uniqlo 3D knit sweater (I love these!) with golden/ochre cords from Everlane and my Thursday boots. I don't usually wear these boots in the middle of winter, but we're in the midst of a heat wave (temps in the mid 40s, maybe even 50°F today). Hair is getting long; I'm going to trim it soon to restore its bluntness.

That's a great colour combo, and I bet those trousers are very fun to wear.

Love this - right up my alley! I want to steal both top and pants. How would the Uniqlo sweater work for short arms/ torso? The V looks perfect on you - I usually find non-petite Vs too deep. I want to add some dark green! It may be late in season to add cords! But how’s the sizing run?

My high school colors were green and gold, so your title made me cringe involuntarily. These are lovely shades of mustard and emerald, though! So pretty!

Thanks all! I'm glad the hair looks good. I'm leaning into natural texture in a big way. Minimal washing, minimal blow-drying. When I shower, I wet the ends rather than my whole head and as it dries it seems to "set" in a nicer shape than when I wet it all or leave it all dry. I get just a hint of wave that way. Once I brush it (in this photo it's not brushed at all), I lose the wave, but gain volume and shine.

Jenn, hah, my hometown uni's colours are green and gold, and where I live now it's green and white. This colour has strong preppy/sporty associations for me, but not negative ones,even though I'm not a team sports personal all.

Karen13, I find Uniqlo tops to be pretty petite friendly. I have quite a short torso. I wear these sweaters in my usual XS. A lot of V's are too deep on me, and this one works. The cord trousers run bit big on me, as do all of Everlane's wide leg styles. I went with the smaller of my usual sizes, and could probably have gone down one size further since the fabric stretches. I'm always hesitant to go too snug with winter pants because I want room for long johns underneath!
