char-truce.

chartreuse.
it's not really yellow. it's not quite green.
and against my skin it's actually quite gross.
i have an old suit blazer that i've been trying to work back into the rotation, but it just feels and looks...bleh.
i did find this sweater which pulls more toward lime green, but i thought it was a good compromise...
a truce, if you will.

(sweater, gap; leopard blouse, thrifted; denim, american eagle)

    That's a great title- I love it! Your hair is neat like that, too. I sort of miss my long hair sometimes :)

    What a great combo...I totally would never think to pair leopard with lime green!

    It is a hard color to work with but you did a great job here, love how you paired it with an animal print and flair jeans. ;)

    You made leopard print and chartreuse look amazing as a color-print combo. Which is very hard to do. I couldn't even do that. The bravery :-)

    I. Love. Chartreuse! It does not even resemble "blah" on your skin. It's just awesome! Such a fun color that no one wears. Awesome look :)

    It is tough to wear that color, I know I look sickly in it. I was told it is one of the better colors to wear on camera though. That shade of green is pretty on you and I love the layering.

    L-u-r-v-e. The char-truce, the leopard, the flares, the shoes - DUH, and that necklace (which I also have, so I may be a weee bit biased).

    merci!

    I really like the combination of chartreuse with jeans blue & IMO you can really pull it off. Chartreuse can be difficult, though, same goes for lime green - I love polishes in those colors, but they always make my hands look pale, so I try to stay away from them.

    Funny opening line although I don't think it looks gross! You've toned it down with the jeans and took the focus away with the leopard so I think it works! Jcrew did something like this with a model of your complexion and threw some bright red lipstick on and I thought it looked fab.!

    This looks great. I have a shrug in the same color. I call it 'chartuse'. I love it against animal print. I have worn it against cameo and blck and white as well. Looks great.
