Anyone who reads my blog regularly will remember last year I expressed my dislike of green, albeit at the same time I gushed about my new 'green' dress (my personality in a nut shell maybe). Well now as the new year is upon is lets be positive, turn our can'ts into cans and the gloomy green into emerald city with bells on it. Yeh yeh I know I said it wasn't for me but a girl can change her mind and become a better version herself, right?! Well the new me wears GREEN. And as it's a brand spanking new year lets not just wear it, lets mix and match it, colour clash it, print clash it, lets do this properly.

When the skies are grey, the floors are wet and the temperatures practically baltic what could be better than a cosy knit? And this one my friends is just that and then some. I took a Small and its still an oversized fit which I love. I cant wait to layer it over dresses, with jeans, leathers and skirts to name a few.

So like I said a bright and bold green lends itself very nicely towards colour clashing; try with pinks/reds/oranges, even add in some blues. My rule, which is just my opinion and by no means gospel, is when clashing colours stick to just 2 main colours and keep the rest of your outfit neutral. If you want to wear a green knit with pink trousers, which I definitely will be doing, keep the colour palette to just that; pink & green.

As for print clashing this green jacquard blouse would look perfect with a striped trouser or skirt for a glammed up look. For daytime layer with a white tee and a simple denim jacket.

Accessories are always going to be the easiest way to introduce a bit of colour into an outfit, Whether it's to clash colours with a red dress or brighten up a black knit a statement green bag is just what the doctor ordered this season.

Green can even do the sports luxe trend, a mums best friend and a streetstyle staple! Wear these trousers with knits and vans for day. After dark smarten up with a crisp white shirt and some black heels and you're good to go.
So whether you're a seasoned green goddess or like me you're turning over a new leaf this year and wearing all those things you thought you couldn't and wouldn't. My advice; always step out you're comfort zone, can't wear it?....find a shade you can!
