Have An Olive Green Day

Olive green is everywhere this fall and yet it's a color that I've never really messed with too much. I own an olive tank top and a print or two with olive in it. But it's just never been a color I thought would look good on me. As of late though, I have been trying to step out of my boundaries and push myself in new directions with my clothing. So when I saw this cardigan with lace shoulders I thought, "Why not?"

 I'm actually very pleased that I did take the plunge in buying it. I really like how the color looks on me and I got a lot of compliments while wearing it. I think it looks particularly nice against the dusty rose camisole. And surprise, surprise! For the third day in a row I wore jeans, a rarity for me these days, for sure.

My first instinct was to pair the military-esque green with bronze or brass, a combo that definitely calls to mind the military, at least to me. But I thought gray would be fun to do. I'd been wanting to try socks with heels since I've been seeing some very cute sock/heel pairings around the blogosphere lately. I was stoked I actually had a pair of olive green socks and I think they look pretty rad with the gray suede heels. To go along with the gray, and matching the olive & dusty rose perfectly, I have a silver trinket necklace that I bought at a strawberry festival out in California. The trinkets are all made from vintage paper and enamel and I just love it!
