Grinch Green!
Last week I shared a holiday look with a pop of red. Today I thought I’d counter with a little green. Carylee at More Pieces of Me posted a similar flat look a few months back and knew I had the pieces to give it a whirl. If you are looking for inspiration she is definitely one of my favorites!
.I grabbed this striped “dress” last year but as you can see it is more of a long sweater/tunic on me. Nothing a pair of leggings or tights and some tall boots won’t fix! This almost identical Vince Camuto dress is on sale right now.
This may be my favorite new look for this dress! Black & White stripes can just be so versatile and work well with plaid and leopard patterns as well. I also love the little pop the camo cuff adds and trust me it is a gift the girls in your life will love!
Adding the cargo vest or a field jacket will definitely make me feel less self conscious about the length as well and this green brings a little holiday vibe.
Stripes and plaid are two of my favorite patterns to mix so adding this infinity scarf makes it perfect for an every day look but also works to add some holiday flare. The scarf is currently under $10 but is backordered until December 30th. It comes in two plaids so I definitely think I’m snagging a couple to have on hand for gifts in 2017.
I’m thinking this look would even make the Grinch smile what do you think?

You are so stinking cute! I totally have a striped dress that is very similar and I wondered if I could pair it with my vest, you convinced me to try it! Now if I only had a blankets scarf, I could be like you :).
You can totally rock this look! And I have a deal for you….I seriously cut one of my blanket scarves in half. If you message me your address I'll send you the other half and we can be twins!!
So cute! I love it!

Love your outfit!
I love this outfit so much! I keep wanting to buy a utility vest but haven't pulled the trigger yet…I think I need to!
I love this look! That green vest is so cute with the striped dress! I love stripes so you had me at that first of all! 🙂 I really like the layer with the scarf as well!

I love all the layers, can't wait for it to cool off here!
Cute look. I too have most of those pieces.
WHAT?!?! Oh my goodness that is so awesome. I would be honored to be twins with you :)! I'll send you an email.
I wore an outfit almost identical to this today but I failed to use my scarf like that!! Love it, you gave me Inspo for next time!! Pretty pretty lady!!
I have all of these pieces so I think I should try this look for myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Another wonderful look– love the mix of patterns with the plaid and stripes
You look so cute! I have a vest just like that and I like to pair mine with stripes, too!

you look great in green, I NEED an army vest… I suppose I could use my jacket but I'll have to wait til spring seeing as we have a ton of snow and I'd freeze lol
That striped dress looks fabulous!!
Love this striped dress!!!!!!

Way to repurpose the utility vest! Love this look on you.
Thanks Deena…I definitely think this is an outfit I will wear more than once!
Isn't it fun Jaymie? I wish it was a little longer but as long as i wear tights it works. Tall girl problems which you obviously relate to as well.
You totally could use your jacket! We are actually getting some super cold weather for us this weekend and I'm so excited to wear some heavier layers for a few days.
Stripes are just so fun and I totally wasted them for years Sarah!! I was happy to find this combo.
Thank you Sarita..this is definitely a new favorite.
You definitely should Carrie!!
Great minds Andrea! Can't wait to see your mix.
Thanks Lauren! It really is a simple mix but I love the way it turned out.
We are getting a really, really cold blast this weekend Kellyann. Is the cold front going to reach you guys?
You so need to Sarah! These vest are so perfect in climates like ours. The perfect way to add layers without burning up.
Thanks so much Lisa! Definitely think it will be a new favorite here!
Thank you so much Lauren! I thought I would also let you know you might want to check your signature link…it is not taking me to your blog.
Nope. It's going to be in the 80's! I am so very unhappy, it does not feel like Christmas at all.
I really need to get a cargo vest.
If you ever shop at Sams you for sure need to take a look. They actually had one that was really reasonable. I picked this one up at a local vendor show from a boutique and I really have loved it. Hope you are having a great holiday season!
Back tot he 80's and humid today but then tomorrow it is suppose to be a high of 39!! It is crazy here….all the time.
Cozy wearable perfection! Love this look! Thanks so much for sharing with Fun Fashion Friday!
