Olive Green Spring 2016

Today I'm missing my birth state, California. I miss the weather, the beach, the food, and the shopping. Los Angeles (LA) is definitely one of my favorite cities to shop in because of the chill vibe it brings to fashion. My last visit in LA, I hung out in Melrose where I found a great deal of cute stuff that I would never find in Dallas. One store that left an impression on me was The Shop in Melrose, yes, The Shop is the actual name of the store. This boutique is perfect for someone who is into that carefree look, better known as the "LA style." They carry a great variety of clothes from vintage shorts and shirts, to chic dresses and everything in between.

I left with so many amazing pieces for the summer, including this outfit I wore to BOA Steakhouse for dinner. This knit sheath dress came in a couple of different colors, but I picked olive green because it's the perfect neutral to wear if you’re warm, and teams well with so many other hues.  It's green shade is warm in its undertone, so I knew it would work with my complexion, especially after I've gotten some of that Cali sun. 

A lot of people that are not familiar with fashion colors, think that olive is only for the fall, when that most certainly is not the case! It's seen on spring runways by designers like Peter Som, Marissa Webb Marc Jacobs, and Ralph Lauren’s who have all featured olive garments. There are some colors you can wear for more than one season, depending on how you style the look.  Be sure to keep an eye out for similar warm tones Spring/Summer 2016.
