I planned to wear green all week in honor of my Irish heritage and St. Patrick's Day, but realized I am one item short of being able to do so without blatant repetition so I'm almost all green.
1. Before reading Angie's skirt post I already had on a pleated midi that I love with a J Crew green silk shell, Halogen microplaid jacket, metallic belt, black tights and black patent toe'd leopard pumps. It felt a little naughty to be wearing the pattern shoes. Also added a claddaugh pin I got in Ireland many years ago.
2. Angie's skirt post (and I finally got to the dry cleaners) inspired me to wear my favorite Trina Turk full skirt so I slipped that in one day (my off green day) with a Thyme chambray shirt, Olivia moon ponte jacket, Fidji pumps, Gold MK watch.
3. Confession I bought the MK sweater at the Rack last weekend, I had finally tossed my ancien BR vee neck that was my "St. Patrick's Day" sweater. This one has a cool gold belt at the hip (that really unzips although I'm unsure why), worn with BR navy blouse, J Crew navy flippy skirt and Ted Baker Leopard pumps (amazingly comfortable! and again a bit naughty)
4. Gap striped sweater, Le shirt button down, BR Jackson pants, Fergie navy booties
5. Boden stripe tee, Nic and Zoie skirt, Metallic belt, Olivia Mon ponte jacket, nude boots- it got a bit cool) and commando fishnets
6. Sparkly casual - Mavi BF jeans, Esprit polkadot buttondown, JonesNY sequin front cardi, DV suede flats, Cole Haan navy patent purse
7. St. Patrick's Day - MK sweater (repeat shhhh), Jones NY blouse, Vigoss distressed skinnies, Bass oxfords (the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow?)
It was fun to play with a color I don't normally gravitate to. I'd recently decided to make my shopping less scattered I'm going to try to stick to my preppy palette of red, white, navy and add black (because I have so much) but what's preppier than kelly green? I do see a bit of a formula with button downs and pullovers and belts - too boring? Any suggestions for mixing it up?
Always interested in all suggestions and feedback. Guiness is chilling and I'm off to check out some of the new features!
