WIW: Wildcard Pine Green

I got the new green moto in the Spring. It's a wildcard earthy pine green I don't usually wear. Well. Now I do! The new darker hair makes it work

Fab to wear Spring items in the Autumn. Double duty.

The green wide Westbourne Ponte pants from Boden are a fortuitous perfect match. Today, I wore them together and LOVED it! As long as I add crispness to this green, I feel good in the colour. Hence the icy blue top - which matches my blue specs - and off-white belt and loafers. (NAS items this year).

I like wearing dressy flat loafers with wide pants! Relaxed Glam, to my eye.

LOVE these pants. They feel heavenly, and are flattering and versatile. Great for travel. Got the red first - then the green. They replaced two pairs of wide pants that pilled.

Wore this to work with a client today. Then walking Yorkies, doing errands, and everything else.

Sam and Jo wore their green collars to match!

Bad pics in the rental unit. Pic outside to see accurate colours.

Thanks for looking. xo

I feel like this is a new to you color palette Angie and it is fabulous! I love the blue with the green. That moto matches those trousers perfectly (don't you like when that happens?) and this green color looks smashing with your darker hair. You look lovely for fall! *gives Sam and Jo a pet* I look forward to other ways you pair this green color in the future.

Lisa, you're right! It's new, and I like it My natural hair colour has opened up a range of palette options. Change is good.

I'm going to wear the pine green with bright pins, red, orange and citron. And navy. I'm excited

Thanks for the kind words!

Angie - I'm taking notes, I have a pair of green shorts that I may have to try with one of my pumpkin spice capsule tees (to pair green with orange). And of course I'm planning to try green with blue. I look forward to your future outfits!

Irina

Looks lovely, Angie! A navy bag would look great with this outfit, too.

Gorgeous, Angie. The jacket needed those pants, so you could have a coordinated set! I could see this color paired with pale pink, à la your blog post this week, or with citron, too.

Love the column of colour of the accidental matched set.

Sal

Lovely combo! It is fun to try a new colour and it does really suit you with the darker honey hair.

I have a few colours that I like but only with white or bright colours so I definitely relate. Love this purple dress but only with yellow, white or tan (accessories). When I tried it with black, grey or my pale blue denim it dragged me down. (I think it would be fun with red or orange too but I don't have the right pieces)

Great combo - total love! I've just started to play with green and blue colors - darker green with my pale blue jeans - and taking noted as well!

Oh my - gorgeous colour on you. Hair colour can be such a game changer when it comes to clothing colours I have found.

Okay, just read the comments now and you said this already. High Five.

Wow, the pine green looks fabulous on you! With collars coordinated to your outfit, you, Sam and Jo make a very stylish trio!

Helena

No one does head to toe colour like you Angie! YLF!!

Hello, shirt twin! Love this combo.

RobinF

What a pretty green! Looks like it matches the pants perfectly. Love the loafers too!

What Helena said! You are a gorgeous column of color! Such a refreshing and lively color on you. Love it!

That’s gorgeous! I think you make this color work brilliantly. And how lucky to find such a great match with the trousers.

I actually tried that jacket back in the summer but it ran a little small for me in my usual size — I never bothered to try the size up, but I’m not seeing a whole lot of this lovely green around, so maybe I should try it again. I’m still seeing way more warm olive greens than anything in this pine-forest shade.

Cookie

I love the rich color! And Sam and Jo look so dapper I can hardly stand it.

What a great match. I love my Boden ponte knit pants. I have a new pair for Fall in the Pimlico cut in last year’s sort of yellowy army green. I am sale stalking this year’s army green corduroy pieces.

ChristelJ

Veteran

Beautiful color on you and so chic with the white shoes and belt! Matching dog collars takes it to the next level!

Bonnie

Veteran

That is a great jacket and you are lucky to have found matching pants. You are looking fabulous!!

Roberta

Veteran

Such an excellent combo! I own those pants, and will have to try a blue-gray top with them. You look smashing.

It's just amazing how well those pants match with the moto! A suit meant to be! You have really perfected the art of the "matched" unmatched suit, or maybe we should call it the matched wildcard suit - you could do a whole blog post on these! The ones you buy together, but especially the ones that appear by chance/ serendipity in your closet!

It's funny -- from the photos you'd never guess what a great match that was going to be. Love it all with the new mesh top, too!

Dottie

I love that color on you and I love your style!

Thanks for chiming in, and for the kind compliments, everyone!

My right wrist is acting up and needs to slow down. Excuse my brevity.

Lisa, humbled to have inspired you, and I love a perfect match as much as you do! Sam and Jo give loving tailwags

Suz, I know! A fortuitous perfect match is soooooo satisfying

Roberta, waving at my pants twin! You look awesome in yours.

Staysfit, Sam and Jo say thank you.

Sal, you get it! Great purple dress.

BlueJay

Veteran

What a serendipitous match! Wow! Love it with the blue and it does go well with your hair! A pat for Sam and Jo.

April, waving back!

cat2, Boden's Ponte is best in my experience! High five.

Star, Bonnie, Kelly, Helena, Dottie, Carla, and RobinF, much appreciate your sweet words!

Cookie, Blue Jay and ChristelJ, Sam and Jo are blushing

Slim Cat, sounds like a great combination!

Irina, it would! Not into navy bags anymore, though. Gave my navy Furla to Suz

Janet, lots of your type of green online! You're going to have a great green season

Angie, I’m glad you’re seeing that cooler vibrant deep green, but I’m not finding it in my usual sources! (Nordstrom, Anthro, etc) Perhaps I just am looking in the wrong places.

Jenny H

Veteran

This looks AMAZING! You are having such great luck with fortuitous matches lately, lucky you.

I particularly like this green with the icy blue.

Veteran

Angie, you have several superpowers, but one is mixing different bright colors together well, and another is patiently collecting pieces that are a perfect color match. Wowsers!

JP

Veteran

Wow, Angie! This green ensemble is absolutely stunning on you! The tailored pants and the moto jacket create such a chic and polished look, and I love how the cream accessories add a fresh and modern touch. You're rocking this outfit!! The greens look soooo different in the product photos. I prefer the colors in your pictures. Now I want both those pieces, especially that I already have the top.
