Forest Shades

October 24th, 2011

Zara Blazer, Myne Dress c/o, Juicy Couture Clutch, Vintage, DanniJo, J.Crew Bracelets, Alaia Booties, Essie Wicked Nail Polish

I own a fair amount of blazers, but this forest green one I bought while in New York last month has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s a fun departure from basic black or navy, but still manages to be just as versatile. I wore this out to grab sushi and frozen yogurt (possibly the best combo ever) and then changed into comfortable basics for the remainder of the weekend, which included a trip to the flea market (where I found the most amazing ’50s punch bowl), some DIY projects, and pumpkin carving.

    Such a beautiful color! You’re right, the blazer remains somewhat of a neutral piece — with a twist!

    You look great Emily. I’d love to see more of your flea market finds; I don’t have much time to comb through flea markets but when I do, I sure love it! I bought an old coat stand for 5$ and painted it black, and now I get so many compliments on it. I like the feeling of a treasure hunt, and the challenge of turning it into something slightly more updated and unique.

    I completely agree with the versatility of a coloured blazer… especially in green! In design and retail, its got to be the most underestimated colour… Either way, I find I get much more use out of my blazers and jackets that aren’t black or navy because they lend a pop of colour to my many neutral pieces. I think this is one of my favourite outfit posts of yours, and what a great location for the shoot! Thanks for the gorgeous images,
    Bria
