Greenery


{Photos by Questa Lee}

 Ever since I purchased this skirt in the spring, I've had a bit of an affinity with the colour green. I'm fairly convinced that it's flattering on almost every skin tone and is a great shade to transition through the seasons with. This subtly patterned dress was found at Zara's summer sale and it accompanied me onto the One of a Kind boat cruise on Monday.

What colours have you been drawn towards lately?






Wearing: Zara dress, BCBGMAXAZRIA shoes, vintage Salvatore Ferragamo belt, Joe Fresh earrings, necklace from The Bay, MICHAEL Michael Kors bag (available here with the gold hardware!)

  3. Jen this outfit is beyond stunning! Especially the one of you looking out...so beautiful. That colour suits you amazingly and goes especially well with your penchant for gold and leopard. I'm always drawn to blues and am still stuck in that colour rut...that and reds!

    Hope you're having a good week so far love!

  17. You look great!
    I've been drawn to taupe, I love the mix of grey and purple. It's neutral, yet no where near boring.

    Me, Citron, bright yellow and red.

    Basically, the color of hot peppers.

    I am IN LOVE with that necklace. What are you talking about, "I can't do edgy"? You did it right there! You can do anything.

  32. Gorgeous dress! Love the silhouette. And did I see "Zara summer sale" in your post? Excuse me while I dash IMMEDIATELY over to the mall!

    ReplyDelete

  33. I've been feeling drawn to this shade of green lately, too, and this dress just reminds me of why- it's absolutely perfect on you! No one (by which I mean none of the people I shop with) seems to think green will suit me, but this post has me thinking I'm going to have to give it a try, anyway. Gorgeous as always :)
    xox,
