This winter it’s all about the shade of green, specifically forest green.
I had seen a forest green (bordering on a teal) wrap knit for $69.95. The first shipment of the cardigans sold out and when I saw the second shipment was available… I didn’t get in quick enough because my size had sold out again.
I’ve been finding this a lot with many of the trending colours this season. It seems to sell out as soon as it hits the online stores or shelves.
I condoned I wouldn’t end up purchasing the knit and would wait until more came through.
It wasn’t until I had gone to a shopping centre to get some Mother’s Day gifts that I saw Valley Girl had a similar knit in the colour I was after.
I went into the store, and not only did they have my size, it was only $24.95!
I promptly purchased on the spot and headed out to dinner with a friend last night for its first debut. I ended up removing the scarf because it was a bit too hot with so many layers.
When I caught up with Lauren from Create Bake Make, she too was wearing similar colours to me. Her top was from Country Road and is featured in the selection below.
1. Katies Dobby Sleeve Top $23.97 (on sale)
2. Katies Sleeveless Quilted Vest $29.97 (on sale)
3. Dante Spot Frill Sleeve Dress $55
4. Bird Keepers The Best Seller Pants in Green $89.95
5. City Chic Emerald Bloom Top $79.95
6. Country Road Soft Blouse $119.00
7. Mimco Wilting Ear Jacket Earrings $79.95
It was really hard finding pieces that were available in all sizes with this forest green colour. You may have a better chance shopping in stores to see what’s available.
This shade of green can look blue in some lights and more green in others. I’ve found a selection of both these hues online.
What to wear with Forest Green?
Forest Green looks fab with navy, white, beige, caramel, tan, red, purple, dark pink, mustard and orange.
I’ve teamed my forest green knit with a leopard print scarf.
If this shade of green isn’t your cup of tea, go for shades of emerald, moss or khaki.
Have you added Forest Green to your wardrobe this winter?
