All About Green

Do you ever get into color ruts and wear the same colors OVER and OVER? Now, in reverse, do you ever forget to wear a color? Green would be the color I forget to wear. I happen to like green a lot, but for one reason or another just don't own a ton of it. I was playing on Polyvore the other night and decided I wanted to wear something green this week so I chose my long sleeved green cardigan that I've had for a few years now. I've probably only worn it (maybe) 5 times ever. Here's how I styled it:




And here's how it turned out in real life today:



I really liked the green paired with this cute polka-dot top I picked up at Old Navy a few months back. Every now and then Old Navy has an item that really impresses me and this top was definitely one of them.

Another green colored item made it's way into my hands this week...this little cutie:



My husband and I will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary in a few weeks and he knew I was wanting a new purse (preferably a nicer one than not) so on his day off this week we SOMEHOW (wink! wink!)found ourselves at the Coach store at the outlets where they happened to be offering 30% off entire purchase coupons at the door. I laid eyes on this green purse and it was over. My husband could tell. He asked me if it would make me happy if he got that for me for my anniversary present...um, YES! So that is the story of how I got my first Coach bag. I love it! I love the fun color...it's perfect for spring. I'll probably have to change out to a bigger bag when we do park days and whatnot this summer to accommodate snacks, sunscreen, water, etc, but it is perfect for date night and everyday use around town.

That's all the green I've got for ya tonight. Tomorrow night I'm hosting my Stella & Dot jewelry party...should be fun! If you're interested in ordering anything let me know...I can still send you an email with a link to a catalog. I'm loving so many of their cute pieces...look at these:








I'll be posting answers to your questions this weekend...if you still have a question you want to ask me, let me know! I'll try my best to answer! =)

Hope you all have a fabulous Friday!!

  1. For some reason green is a color I don't wear often either, even though I do love it! You look great, and congrats on the new purse and your 10 year anniversary :)

  2. Love the green on you and love how you paired it with black/white. I have an old Anthro shirt that is black/white with a green sash belt and it's one of my old time favs.

    Anyway, please send me a link to your Stella/Dot catalog. I'm really loving that turquouise and coral bracelet!

  4. oh, congrats on the new purse! Coach bags are such nice quality, especially considering how (relatively) inexpensive they are (compared to the "luxury" bags out there). My current bag is coach and I luuuuuuuv it - the leather is AWESOME!

  8. I don't wear green very much either, I just don't like that color on my skintone. I love it paired with the black and white tank! Cute new purse, what a great present from hubby!! And I think I'm going to pass on the maryam tank. I'm trying to buy less and I really don't need another tank. But thanks anyway!

  12. Congrats on your 10 year anniversary! I'll be celebrating 10 years with my hubby this year also-in December:-)
    LOVE your knew purse and the way you styled your green cardi!
    I think I have one green item in my closet...and what a shame, it's a lovely color!
    I think being so fair skinned, I would have to look for a cooler green...I'll keep my eye out!

  13. I have the same Old Navy polka dot top and absolutely love it. It's so easy to dress up or down!

    And your new bag is gorgeous. The green is so springy and cheerful. It would definitely bring a smile to my face every time I saw it! What a great early anniversary present!
