I rarely wear green. I don't even think of it as a choice. But I was at my local boutique recently and saw a cute mesh top in a pleasant shade of green ($10). I figured it'd look good over a lime-green skirt they also sell ($10). I wondered if wearing gold under the green top would brighten its luster so I gave that a whirl.
I'm not sure if this outfit works, but I like to try new things. In person, the lady-tie has green in it that I thought would complement the other pieces but, in photos, you only see its predominant color (blue). Looking at the pictures, I'd replace it with something else less clashing.
What do you think?
I would have showed off those killer legs without the tights!!! I agree about the tie ...all I can see is the blue. The skirt is super cute as is the top.
ReplyDeleteNot being a fashionista I cannot critique any further. However your hair and makeup look fantastic!!!!
Hmm...maybe you're right about the foulard, but I like the outfit as it is! Especially the skirt, that looks amazing on you! <3
ReplyDeleteI'll third about the tie..but i love the top and skirt together!! Maybe a bit of hot pink to contrast and spice it up?
ReplyDeleteYour figure is to die for!! Sheesh. I think the only thing I'd change is the color of the skirt - is that some purple I detect in the scarf? - so maybe purple? Maybe some slightly more playful-looking shoes. You look great!
ReplyDeleteI like the sparkly top under the mesh top its cute! I agree about the tie and I think I may have gone with a black skirt. The two tops & slinky black skirt would make a killer evening outfit (not that I go out anywhere fancy anymore) I think a strappy sandal would have rocked too. Ally I am by no means a fashionista at all and struggle just to put together a coherent look most work days :)
ReplyDeleteHmm... what, if instead of swapping out the blue lady-tie, you played into the blue -- blue tights, blue shoes, maybe a blue belt? I love blue and green together -- in fact I wore them today!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cara. Maybe even just try swapping a blue skirt? Loose weave shirts are one of my favorite things. I've only found a few that I feel comfortable styling, but the ones I've managed to thrift are totally my fav things!
ReplyDeleteIf it works for Kermit, it can work for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with green? :( It's my favorite color, but when I tell people, they give me a weird look. I think green looks lovely on you! Everyone should give green a chance.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for the nice comment on my blog today. *hugs* :)
I like the top color combo--but not with the neon-ish looking lime green skirt. Maybe a different color on the bottom?
ReplyDeleteLOve the top! And the outfit works as it is, but for curiosity I would try this look with a white skirt and gold or lime shoes :)
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for the valuable -- and varied -- suggestions. You give me lots of ideas I hadn't considered before. You're the best!
ReplyDeleteOooh boy, that's a lot of green! I'm not a huge fan of neon, unless it's tiny accents like a belt or something. But that lady-tie is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like your outfit Ally. And wow, you do have killer legs!! Love that touch of blue in the outfit.
ReplyDeleteyou are lovely! and i agree--your legs are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! There does seem to be a lot going on, but after looking at it for a minute, I really think it works. This would be a fun outfit to wear out for karaoke or something!
ReplyDeleteI love bright colours on you! I think that if the tie was a solid blue, it would be fine.
ReplyDeleteYou're a mean green machine! And UGH! Looks at those luscious legs!
