Even I've had my reservations in the past, but this season, as I've found my hand snatching up several green items in a row on various shopping trips, I've had to surrender to the green monster.
In particular, I've accepted that velvet and corduroy fabrics and green just belong together. The dreamy, distinguishable textures of those fabrics mixed with rich, mossy greens are a completely romantic pair that remind us all of fresh air and midnight walks. That's not to say any of us should go overboard and get ourselves kitted out in an entirely green outfit, one that'll make us look like we've hopped right out of a salad bowl, but instead I'm suggesting that layering dark greens with other patterns or colours this season could be a whole new kind of flattering.
Take this bottle green overall dress I purchased from Zara as an example. The model has been dressed with a light blue and white polka-dotted blouse under the overalls, not a likely pair but nonetheless this outfit is fun, season appropriate and flattering.
And I don't seem to be the only one who has the green feeling this Autumn, as Her Majesty Anna Wintour of American Vogue stepped out in a glorious leaf covered creation, for the 2014 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Awards, and didn't she look as decadent as ever!
