WIW: Shades of Olive

Style Fan

Veteran

The weather turned cold today and I changed my topper as I was leaving the house. DH and I were going out for dinner and as we were driving to the restaurant I realized my T shirt and jacket do not really blend together as pleasantly as I would have liked. Sigh.

This is my rendition of Angie's ensemble of Citron, Olive & Cognac.

Jacket (Olive): Sandwich
T Shirt (Citron - sort of): Sarah Pacini
Clutch, Belt, Birkies (Cognac)
Earrings (Amber)
Jeans: Fidelity

Thanks for looking. All comments and suggestions welcome.

Sorry to have posted my outfit and then not logged in for the rest of the day. I am blushing from the feedback. I will write down this outfit in my notebook to remember it. Thank you!!!

Deborah - Thank you! I certainly don't like to look contrived. You are so right about that. I like to look like I just threw on some clothes and it worked.
Diane G - I feel so much better now. Thank you!
Lisap - Why thank you for the compliment about my hair. I am having a mini crisis now that my hair is turning whatever colour it is turning. I call it transparent. No colour.
kellygirl - Thank you. Olive green is definitely one of my favourite colours.
Angie - Poor dear Sophie had to stay with the dog day care for the evening. Restaurants do not allow doggies. At least not here. Next WIW she will appear.
Ankita - Thanks. We had a great dinner. I had pasta with green and black olives in the sauce. A true olive night. These are my second pair of Fidelity AXL Relaxed Skinnies. My first pair were not destroyed and I loved them. I completely wore them out.
Carole - Thanks. I am a huge fan of olive. Both the food and the colour.
Maneera - Thanks. I live in a very relaxed and laid back place. Very few people dress up. Actually no one does.
Jeweled - I will let hubs know how lucky he is.
La Celeste - I am blushing.
Kerlyn - Thank you for the feedback. I still have some boho in me.

Thank you Tania. It was a very relaxing evening after a rushed get away.

I love this look! It has so many fantastic elements, and it's a brilliant way to style distressed jeans. I don't notice the difference in the tee and topper tones, maybe because of your sandals? What a gorgous pic of you, too

Thank you Aliona. I have been living in these jeans since I bought them last fall. I am glad to hear from the fabbers that the two colours of olive don't clash.

Restaurants in Europe allow well behaved dogs - I LOVE that.

Very nice casual rendition of the ensemble Style Fan. The greens go together because they are both on the warmer side. The neutral belt, bag and denim help to set the tone for the outfit. I think it works really well and the colors are very nice on you.

Thank you dakotacheryl. I will remember to think about textures when I put outfits together. Angie you are so right about Europe. Dogs get to go into restaurants and join the fun. Why not? Thank you Cheryle for the analysis. I do love green. It takes up a lot of real estate in my closet.
