PUYV: Khaki and Olive "Medium"

Jacket, Esley. Blouse, Body Central. Skirt, Talbot’s (thrifted). Pumps, Delicious. Belt, thrifted. Bag, Target.


Accent colors: pumpkin, pine, saffron, and wine.


In Style’s “medium” khaki and olive example

Is anyone else confused by the color In Style calls “olive” in the palette box? I assure you, it looks just as brown in the printed magazine. As brown as my "not olive" shirt today.


And one crazy picture just for hanging with me

    I especially like this color set. Khaki & olive are two of my wardrobe staples so looking for ways to change it up is always great.

    I like this combination - it looks great together.

  10. The skirt in In Style looks olive to me.

    Just wondering, do you have any gold or bronze shoes (like those in the picture).

  11. Nerida - I agree, the In Style skirt looks olive but they also call the darker color in the triangle (in the palette box) "olive."

    I WISH I had gold or bronze shoes but I don't. Well, I recently bought some gold ballet flats, but they look pretty dumpy with this skirt.
