WIW: Olive, Olive and more Olive

Lots of Olive in these WIWs.

Look One
Top - Lululemon Olive - a couple of years old
Jeans - Fidelity OH BOY - BF jeans - new this Fall
Boots - Saute Mouton Olive - new this Fall

Look Two
Top - Sarah Pacini Olive Sweater - at least five years old
T-Shirt - Sarah Pacini Olive - at least five years old
Jeans - Fidelity OH BOY - BF jeans - new this Fall
Boots - Saute Mouton Olive - new this Fall

Look Three
Look One with coat overtop
Coat - Lululemon Olive - new this Fall

I am extremely happy with all three items that I added to my wardrobe this Fall. The BF jeans from Fidelity have been a workhorse. They are very comfortable. The Lululemon coat is perfect for cold Canadian winters. Lots of pockets and the side has snaps so it is easy to walk in. The Saute Mouton Boots are comfy (that means a lot coming from me) without my Birks inserts and they look great.

Any and all feedback welcome!

I love olive it! ;). Seriously, Olive is a wonderful neutral and you wear it well. The Lululemon coat and Sauté boots get lots of points from me for style, warmth and comfort. I know how important those factors are. You will be having a warm and cozy winter!

April

Well done! I love olive - nice job.

Bijou

Gorgeous! I imagine that this season is full of temptations for you with all the beautiful earth colours. LOVE the olive coat - what a sensational piece. So fun that you have the perfect place to take photos, your apartment is the perfect backdrop for a fashion shoot and you are a stunning model.

Style Fan

Thank you!!!!
Mainelady, you are right! Style, warmth and comfort all in olive pieces. Perfect for our winters.
Many thanks, April!
Bijou, this season is a tempting one. So many great pieces are available for me. I am glad I held out for this olive coat. I have been looking for awhile.
We are renting this apartment in Montreal for most of the winter. It is in a fantastic location and is so pretty. We have fantasies of taking in over.

Mirjana

Olive is beautiful on you.

nemosmom

Wow, SF you look amazing in olive! Love your coats and boot and the cuff detail you gave your jeans. Comfy winter boots that are also cute are so hard to find!

notsaf

Love these looks, which strike me as both practical and elegant. (The perfect combo in my book!) Love seeing you in slimmer pants for the cold, as well!

Mirjana, thank you so much! I do love olive and olives.
Nemosmom, thank you! I searched for comfy boots for a long time. Hopefully, these will get me through the Montreal winter.

Notsaf, many thanks. Yes, slimmer pants are more practical in the winter. My wide-legged jeans/pants have gone into hibernation except for very special occasions.

RobinF

Great looks and pieces! Love that sweater in #2, such a timeless style, and liking the jeans, they'll work with everything. I struggle with olive but it really looks great on you!

Helena

When you wear it that well - milk it! (as Angie would say). YLF!

UmmLila (Lisa)

Great combinations. I'm always impressed by how well you know and stick to your good colors.

Olive is great on you! And love your little space too!

I love olive but don't wear much of it (I do better in cooler versions of it, a bit more sagey). It looks fantastic on you! I really like those jeans too -- have never seen Fidelity in stores but would try those on, as I'm not feeling the skinny-skinny look right now, but I like a narrow BF cut, cuffed as you have done here.

I agree! I'm happy to wear wide legs and crops in the summer, but I hate the feeling of knee socks and the like, so slimmer pants are the answer for me in the cooler weather. Plus, one can feel a bit shapeless under warm layers, so it's nice to get some structure at the calf and ankle, as you do here under the big coat!

Laurie

I'm into olive lately and you demonstrate exactly why. You look fab in all of these pieces. Very warm and prepared for the season, and super put together. Well done!

Cardiff girl

That puffy coat looks fab on you.

rachylou

Whoa! Love the puffy! You look very tall!

JAileen

You look fab, fab and fab again. How incredible to find a puffer coat and snow boots in olive! I love olive and when I whittled down my colors, it was one of the three.

Olive is definitely a great color for you, and that sweater is very flattering. I’m so glad you were able to find the puffer and snow boots in olive.

nuancedream

Olive you in olive, SF! Sorry for the pun. That Lululemon coat...AMAZING.

Sal

These are stunning outfits on you and what a perfect spot. Gorgeous.

Olive is really good on you and yes after a few years with such a paucity of autumnal colours there is a great selection.

RobinF, I have found the sweater in #2 to be very versatile especially now that higher rise pants are back in my wardrobe.
Yes, TG, I plan to milk the olive. It is definitely a major player in my wardrobe.
UmmLila, thank you! I stick with the familiar. It just works better that way.
Suntiger, we love the space too. It will be hard to leave.
Janet, cooler-toned olive would look good on you. Fidelity jeans are hard to find. I don't know why more places don't stock them. They fit me so well. I buy them in my old hometown but I don't know anywhere else to get them.
Notsaf, good points. Jeans in the winter are tough. I think some layering starts to happen when the temps drop.
Thank you, Laurie. Olive is a nice change from all the black that is out there.
Cardiff Girl, hard to find a puffy coat that looks good. There are lots of long ones here in Montreal.
Rachy!! The puffy is super warm and cozy. Even better if it makes me look super tall.
Yes, JAileen I was PPP about my coat, boots and jeans. No settling. Enough of that. Olive is a very versatile colour.
Thank you, Erin.
Ha ha nuancedream!!! Good one.

Thank you, Sal. Finally, some autumn colours are showing up in retail. Yeah!!!!

Synne

You look great!! Fantastic outfits. You look like a celebrity, someone famous, a movie star. And I don't mean that as in someone particular (though it's been established here before). It's the whole vibe going on, something mysterious, alluring, interesting, understated, self confident, relaxed. I can't put it into words, but I know it when I see it. This is goals!

Jenn

You look so long and lean in all these outfits, and totally at home in your clothing. Olive work for you!

Gosh, Synne I am very flattered. I do like an understated minimalistic look that is also interesting.
Thank you, Jenn. Long and lean! I wouldn't have expected that from a puffy.

Jaime

Gorgeous and the backdrop couldn't be better. #2 is especially good!

Joy

Olive is your color and these pieces are especially wonderful. Enjoy.
